In Jerusalem,
early morning Muslim prayer call is called a rude awakening for many...
Jewish residents of these areas, all of which are in close proximity to Arab neighborhoods in the capital's east, have begun to complain that the adhan, or Islamic call to prayer, which is broadcast five times a day from loudspeakers inside local mosques, has become an intolerable nuisance, particularly when it blasts through their neighborhoods at 4 a.m. every day.
C'mon. I dealt with this everyday on every deployment in Iraq. Is it really that bad? My current apartment, a stone's throw from half a dozen bars, is far worse. The bass thumping until 2AM is like trying to sleep with someone repeatedly kicking the door.
