They are welcome to leave and go back to Jordan.
2. Let the muezzin call, just without loudspeakers.
David ,   Hartford USA   (11.18.16)
It's worked for centuries in the past, it will still work. I'm sure there's an app to do the same thing. Why spread noise pollution to the rest of the city when it's not needed?

If they persist, maybe it's time for Israel to test their air-raid warning sirens AT THE SAME TIMES.

No more loudspeakers. Still shocked to learn they start that routine up at 4 AM. No way....folks have got have a reasonable time of sleep. There is a limit to being accomadating. So sorry, Muslims, but you've been cut too much slack in this. The matter is going to be adjusted a touch.

IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (11.20.16)
it out loud speakers. Bunch of show offs. They just have to remind everyone how backwards they are.
6. Noise pollution
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (11.20.16)
Surely a bill could be drawn up which focuses on the right of the population as a whole not to have their lives blighted by excessive noise. This would avoid the targeting of any specific group or community. There is such legislation in the U.K. As far as I know there is an absence of loudspeakers for the call of the muezzin but I have not heard of any protests.
