Paterson, N.J., Gets Muslim Police Chief and Islamic Call to Prayer Over Loudspeaker

[volsrock]

On Wednesday, the City Council voted unanimously (with two members not voting) to grant preliminary approval to the Islamic call to prayer being broadcast over loudspeakers in the city. This followed the swearing-in earlier this month, on the Qur’an, of course, of Paterson’s new police chief, Ibrahim “Mike” Baycora, the first Muslim police chief in an American city.

I doubt if this is entirely true, given your source. If it turns out that you're not once again promoting bigotry, then the prayer thing is clearly a violation of church and state. The ACLU will be all over this like Trump on a cheeseburger if the city goes through with it.
