1. I feel for the Christian not allowed to practice in israel.
James   (03.08.17)
2. Very simple answer to this issue:
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.08.17)
"The muezzin was part of this public sphere..." Yes, yes, but years ago, 'in this sphere' meant the muezzin was calling out using his unamplified voice. Let him go back to using this form of call. Or better yet, everyone carries a smartphone. Get the phone numbers of the people who want to be notified and send them a text at the appropriate times.

Or use an amplification system to call but it may not be louder than if the muezzin was calling in person. If you need to measure the loudness of the muezzin's call, then do it, and then measure the loudness of the public address system. Should be easy enough to tell if the mosques are cranking up the sound levels to unreasonable levels.

The 'faithful' shouldn't need someone blaring an announcement that awakens the whole city in the 21st century.

The once-a-week shabbat siren cannot be compared to muezzin's call, so don't try.
3. It is false
Adam ,   Netanya   (03.08.17)
"Ahmad Tibi (joint list) defended the call of the muezzin to the plenary, saying," This is an important Islamic religious ceremony, and we have never here interfered in any religious ceremony that affects you In Judaism ".
It is false, every day Islamic Arabs or not, forbid the Jews not to walk to the temple mount ... or simply drink water because they forbid the Jews to pray ... Tibi is a liar Like those Arab friends of the Knesset.
4. Christians practice in Israel their religion
Motti ,   huntingdon u.k.   (03.08.17)
James, Israeli Christians in Israel with a handful of Israeli Muslims are joing the IDF.
Where did you learn of such nonsense?
When Israel handed Bethlehem over to the PLO/PA, the city ratio of Christians and Muslims was roughly 50-60% Christian, the remainder was muslim.
Since then you Arab Muslim friends now number 90%, following the general scenarion throughout the middle east.
Sadly, the Muslim conquest continues and Christians are following the same result as the Jews from Muslim dominated lands. Ethnic cleansing continues. Tim e to accept reality boyo.
