Any concerns are, of course, “Islamophobic.” Notice how Andrea Unger is on the defensive and explaining how she is not “Islamophobic” when the Muslims are the ones who are actually breaking the law. That’s how charges of “Islamophobia” are designed to work: They’re meant to intimidate and silence critics of anything Islamic.
“Muslim Dearborn mayor weighs in on residents’ complaints about mosque’s call to prayer,” by Lindsay Kornick, Fox News, November 17, 2025:
In a Dearborn City Council meeting Tuesday, Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, a Muslim, notably did not apologize to local Christian minister Ted Barham for prior outburst of “you are not welcome here.”
Dearborn, Michigan, Mayor Abdullah Hammoud responded to noise complaints about a mosque’s call to prayer, saying it’s “not an issue.”
Hammoud discussed the concern on the Nov. 3 episode of the “Not From Here” podcast. Local Dearborn citizens have complained in recent months that a nearby mosque has been broadcasting the call to prayer on loudspeakers multiple times a day, beginning as early as 5:30 a.m….
“I would tell you is, you know, those complaining about the call to prayer, I mean it’s a very, very few, you still want to respect the wishes and, if you have a serious concern, I have to uphold the law across all boards,” Hammoud said. “But we’ve done decibel readings at these mosques, all within threshold, all within legal limit. And so for me, it’s not an issue.”
He continued, “We also have to uphold our constitutional rights to freedom of religion. And I would say this, you know, that’s the thing. I’m saying this as a Muslim. People, of course, are going to say this is a call to prayer, but like, you know, why are these complaints just coming forward now?”
“Yeah, elections are coming up,” host Jaafar Issa remarked.
Hammoud didn’t directly respond to that comment but shrugged and repeated, “Call to prayer has been happening since the 1970s in Dearborn.”…
Hammoud also said that most mosques in the city do not make a call to prayer at “Fajr” or dawn and compared the sound to church bells….
Dearborn resident Andrea Unger, who has lived in the city for 40 years, told Fox News Digital last month that she had recorded the call to prayer for 30 consecutive days and found it consistently exceeded 70 decibels. She said she raised concerns with the police department and city council for the past two years, but the problem continued.
She added that some of her neighbors were hesitant to speak out, fearing they would be labeled anti-Muslim.
“I have heard a lot of people say, ‘I’m glad you said something,’ because people are afraid they’ll get called names like ‘Islamophobic,’ like our mayor [Abdullah H. Hammoud] called [Dearborn resident and Christian minister] Ted Barham, because you disagree,” she said. “We’re not Islamophobic, we’re not anti-Muslim, we are not anti-Jewish. We just want to live in the community that it’s always been [before] something changed two years ago to allow this.”

Muslims only respect one law- that of the koran . Western laws mean nothing to them.

Deny. Deny. Deny. Play the victim. Law fare. Islam’s deceit against Non-Muslims will continue as Islam’s Muslims seek to gain ultimate power and control using discrimination, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islam’s Quran(Qur’an 3:54; 7:99; 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). This is daily life with Islam and its Muslims.
Islam functions like a Terrorist-Criminal Gang Enterprise. Similar to a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam and its Muslims are a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims to make Islam supreme and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes Terrorist Criminal Organizations with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Qur’an 2:191; 4:89, 91; 9:5,29, 111; 49:15, etc.). Islam must be banned as illegal for Non-Muslims to survive.
Muslims make false claims and deceitful exaggerations, breed a grievance mentality, and aggravate divisions among people in a manner that allows for justification of terroristic violence(Qur’an 3:28,54; 7:99; 8:30, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” As a result, Non-Muslims are marked for death by Islam and its Muslims. Allah stirs hatred against Christians until the resurrection day as Qur’an 5:14 instructs, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up ENMITY and HATRED among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.” See also Qur’an 60:4.
Allah demands extortion payments from Non-Muslims to humiliate them and make Islam supreme. Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, nor believe in the religion of the truth among those who have given the book until they pay the jizyah out of hand and they are subdued.”
Allah in Qur’an 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels(Non-Muslims) were your clear enemies.” Allah disrespects and detests Jews and Christians for not being Muslims by teaching discrimination and segregation. So, Allah’s apostle in Sahih Muslim 26:5389 says, “Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you and when you meet any one of them on the roads force him to the narrowest part of it[where excrement and trash flow].”
MUSLIM BELIEVERS are a greater TERROR than Allah while undermining a society from within. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim attacks and violence.

The goon is so verbally illiterate. What a scum is he. He’ll only enforce the **law** if muzzies are the ones complaining.
…”if you have a serious concern, I have to uphold the law …” It’s obvious that he does not see the infidel concerns as “serious.”
And most important to hm ” I’m saying this as a Muslim” He asks, ‘why are the complaints coming now’ and the answer is obvious…..because he and his fellow goons have taken over the city and the loudspeakers have been turned up and the number of times the *call to prey* have increased.
He claims it’s no different than ringing bells. So all of the bell ringers at all of the churches, should begin to ring the bells early and into the late.

Thank you much, HP. And yes, she should sue. There are likely lawyers who would jump at the chance.

Remember, “Islamophobic” is derived from “Homophobic.” Yea, the Muslims saw how well the queers silenced and intimidated critics by calling them “homophobes” and realized if that works for them, they can do likewise and thus created “Islamophobe.”
Perhaps that explains the unlikely, paradoxical alliance between gays and Muslims.
Meanwhile, “anti-Muslim” fear will allow excessive decibels to continue.
KufarDawg says
Islamophobia, “a word invented by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons.”
I AM THE INFIDEL YOUR ALLAH WARNED YOU ABOUT says
I was born in an islamic country and lived 30 years of my life in that country before I immigrated to North America. I can tell you that that call to prayer blaring 5 times a day especially during the early hours of the morning was extremely annoying. But, living in an islamic country we had no choice but to bear this audio torture.
If you look back in history regarding this nasty call to prayer… it was ok back then when there were no cell/mobile phones and modern technology. These inbred muslims used megaphones and loudspeakers. In this day and age, those call to prayer over loudspeakers is MOST DEFINITELY not necessary.
Muslims are doing this on purpose to exercise their dominance and control over the non muslim population. We have to see that and stand up and have this braying like asses stopped. This is not what modern civilization is about,
If these inbred bowel movement imbeciles what to do all this shit… they should go back to their own shit hole country PERIOD
rubiconcrest says
Good point.
As far as knowing when to pray, there is no need for a call to prayer since everyone today has a phone or if not a phone a watch.
Without a doubt, the call to prayer, in part, is a show of dominance. You should know this. It also serves as a reminder to all Muslims. If they weren’t reminded constantly, they might forget that they were Muslims and then forget to pray and then …. go astray. No one likes being nagged constantly.
So there may be support in the Muslim community to not just reduce the volume, but to eliminate it altogether.
Joe1 says
Long before smart phones, I was asked to design a watch that called the Muslim to prayer and told him which way to bow (I didn’t do it, because it made me feel sleazy.). So they have had no need for call to prayer for decades. The disturbing of the peace is just another way to make them feel dominant.

I agree they should go back to their own shit hole country but pursuant to their vile and parasitic belief system they are required to make every country into a shit hole country.
You know, the rot about the dar al-Islam v. the dar al-harb and the warped desire (and command by the fictional Allah) to eventually make certain that there will eventually be no more dar al-harb. It’s one of many exceedingly execrable and annoying things about Mo’s deluded believers. From the standpoint of a devout Muslim, the American Constitution needs to be replaced by Sharia as the law of the land. Devout Muslims aplenty have said as much. And any Muslim who honestly would aver otherwise is a bad Muslim—off with his head because he is not properly Muslim.
God damn it. How I despise this effing religion. There is nothing I despise more. And it will destroy America and all the West if allowed. Presently it is still being allowed.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
So which do you think is worse – Leftism or islam?
Wellington says
Leftism since it remains the far greater enemy within but this doesn’t equate to my not despising Islam as much as anything. After all, one can think Evil #1 is even more menacing than Evil #2 in a given time and place but still assert, as I have, there is nothing I despise more than Evil #2.
I loathe both Marxism and Nazism but Marxism is far worse than Nazism at present for sundry reasons and yet I could still state there is nothing more I despise than Nazism.
The Past says
2 John 9-11
9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
NKJV

Some ten to twenty years ago a woman of Chinese ancestry in either Malaysia or Indonesia complained to the authorities about the loudness of the daily call to prayer and how early in the am it started, she was arrested, convicted and imprisoned for insulting religion or some such islamic nonsense.

Instead of addressing it w/ the jihadist mayor, they need to take the city to court: file a class-action lawsuit. Fight it every step of the way: if they lose in a lower court, take it higher, and all the way to SCOTUS, if needed

And name the mayor in the suit.

Dearborn: Resident finds Islamic call to prayer exceeds legal decibel limits, mayor says it’s ‘not an issue’

*Of course* Muslims don’t consider Muslims breaking Infidel laws to be an issue. When has it been otherwise?

Ring all Church bells loud at the same times. Play some Christian music, loud, at the same times. They started it and It is only fair after all.

I agree; the muzzie said that their loud drivel is the same as ringing church bells. So, he would have no leg to stand on if the church people rang their bells.

Rampant Islamopandering.
Troybeam says
Call to prayer: Islamic door bell to other Muslims to obey, is a loud speaker announcing we have and or conquering this place.
Muslim’s have a bunch of children hopefully male children however Islam has more female children than male. I know this because a neighbor of mine years ago before I moved had 5 daughters and wife wanted her tubes tied, husband said one more time then you can have tubes tied which he stated 4 other times.
Lucky for her the male sperm finally took and she had a son, born on the same day as the father. Had her tubes tied 2 days after she had the baby. Son turned out to be a brat.
One daughter the oldest married a man who looks just like Daddy, another cousin marriage.
No wonder the government is asking Americans to have more babies because the Muslims are changing the population census which is why they are voting Muslims into political office.
OLD GUY says
I can smell the scent of BACON in the air up wind of mosques as a cure. Maybe some good old loud rock n role music after their loud speakers shut off. Turn about should be fair. If I have to listen to your noise than you should have to listen to mine.

To hell with these mooslim shitbags. Islamophuckheads, they can shove it up their asses. These cowardly barbarians must be eradicated form the planet. The mayor might have been more responsive if he received a blow to the head from a good old fashioned baseball bat.

If a mooslim calls you an islamaphobe, the proper response is: Fuck Off.
