#1 I love it! It will be like the "dueling stereo's" in college.

And Christian Churches...you need not stop at church bells, if the Moslem's can broadcast words..so can you!! Get those "Come to Jesus" lyrics blasting from your loud speakers. Jews...don't be left out here, time to blast out those Yentil tunes.

Oh sure, it will be as annoying as living in the dorms..but it's going to be just as fun.

#2 Perhaps we should take up playing "hava nagila" from loudspeakers.

I've been to Hamtramck, I didn't think there was anything else possible left that could make it a worse hell hole.

I guess I was wrong.

#3 I disagree, Hamtramck's my hometown.

#4 Anyone want to make a bet on the longevity of those loud speakers? Real simple: If this were a Christian group, they would be denied. Crosses have to be removed from cemeteries. Nativity scenes taken down at Christmas. Kids in school must sing Winter Solstice tunes instead of Christmas carols. If it's not OK for Christians who are still the majority, then it's not OK for Muslims. The ACLU should sue these bastards (City council) and tell them not to force the public to listen to these displays of religion. 5 times a day, every day? NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

#5 ah come on now....crank it up.

Here are some of my favorites,

Eternal Father,
Onward Christian Soldiers,
Holy, Holy, Holy
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot

This is our chance to encourage our Moslem neighbors, several times a day, to come on down and come to Jesus...yes sir...amen!

As for Hava Nagila - we can all just take a few minutes out and dance....good for the heart and soul.

#6 and we could even add new verses for optimum effect...like:

I looked over Jordan and what did I see?
coming for to carry me home....

The migh-ty Uni-ted States Ar-my
coming for to carry me home.

Swing low, stealth predator drone...
coming for to carry me home,
Swing low, AC130...
coming for to carry me home.

#9 Two guys sitting on park bench, one trying incessantly to light his cigarette with a defective zippo lighter..

Guy1: Hey buddy, you're outta flint!
Guy2: No, Hamtramck.
