Call to Prayer in Michigan Causes Tension

This has been happening in several places around the country. I am conflicted on where I stand on this issue. My gut feeling is that this is OK and that it falls under the same type of annoyances as signs in foreign languages, the local dry cleaners changing to a taco stand, or any other change that makes you sad that your community is changing.

The comparison to church bells does seem somewhat appropriate although even as a Jew I tend to find them pleasing and they sometimes tell me the time.

Of course that's me talking as someone who's never home. If I was a 70 year old shut in and had to hear the muezzin 5 times a day, I might get annoyed.
