Saturday protests against Muezzin Bill

Some 1,500 protest in the Galilee against the controversial legislation; 'This government must know that harming the muezzin and religion is a red line that could lead to war; we'll sacrifice our lives for the muezzin.'

Approximately 1,500 protestors marched on Saturday in the Galilee in opposition to the "Muezzin Bill."

 

 

Congregating in the village of Kabul, the protestors carried signs reading, "The law won't pass," and "We'll keep fighting until it's cancelled." Some residents installed loudspeakers on the roves of their homes to play recordings of muezzins' call to prayer.

Residents of Qalansawe protested before an Israel Police station in Tayibe, both protesting the Muezzin Bill and the destruction of houses in the Arab sector. Some protestors brought megaphones and enacted muezzin calls. One of the protestors, Naama Gazawi, said, "It's time that all of us unite and lead a fight that will cause the cancellation of all the racist laws. Our silence will allow the government of Israel to continue its steps against Arab society."

 

 

Abed al-Rahim Odeh, a resident of Qalansawe, said, "Our fight is the most righteous. The racist laws will only cause a tense environment. It's enough what happens to us with home demolitions and the humiliating treatment."

 

Ashraf Abu Ali, also from Qalansawe, bought a loudspeaker that he installed on his rooftop. "The voice of the muezzin will not be silenced," he said. "At every prayer, I play a recording of the muezzin so that everybody will hear. The law is racist, and we won't respect it.

"This government destroys our homes, humiliates us, and how it harms (our) religion. This government must know that harming the muezzin and religion is a red line that could lead to war. We'll sacrifice our lives for the muezzin."
