I've spent a considerable time over the last thirty-five years living and
working in various mid-east countries. There is absolutely nothing
unobtrusive about the prayer calls. And it isn't just 6AM. When I lived in
Turkey, the morning call in summer came as early as 3:30AM.

I suspect there are a few citizens of Hamtramck who will take care of the
loudspeakers.


Their city council (if they pass this) might as well start packing now.

If the town's anything like here, you need a permit to use sound
reinforcement equipment of a certain size, outdoors at ANY time of day,
unless it involves the sirens/horns on an emergency vehicle. The council
needs to either look further into existing laws, or move real quick and
change the ones they have so "no permit, no loudspeakers".
