Minneapolis becomes first major American city to allow broadcast of five Muslim calls to prayer per day year-round
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Minneapolis is the first major American city to allow the Muslim call to prayer, or adhan, to be broadcast over loudspeakers five times a day, year-round
- It follows a unanimous vote by the city council to amend the city's noise ordinance after some morning and evening calls were previously prevented
- Three of 13 members of the council, Aisha Chughtai, Jeremiah Ellison and Jamal Osman, identify as Muslim
- The move is seen as a victory for the city's burgeoning population of East African immigrants,
many of whom are Muslim
