Business owners within 500 feet of one of Hamtramck’s four mosques can’t obtain a liquor license, she complained, a notable development in a place that flouted Prohibition-era laws by openly operating bars. The restrictions could thwart efforts to create an entertainment hub downtown, said the pro-commerce mayor.

And while Majewski advocated to allow mosques to issue calls to prayer, she understands why some longtime residents are struggling to adjust to the sound that echos through the city’s streets five times each day.

Yes... intelligent people who have been screaming about this and SuCHers who have been saying about behavioral prediction as the muslim demgraphics change have known this all along.

Now the rest of the country will learn by looking at this town. And it only reinforces what my post in your other thread states: any perceived discrimination is a defense by the cultural victims of muslims.

Not so fast.. They probably shouldn't give permit to build mosques in busy/commercial areas.

Islam's biggest flaw in the modern world is their insistence on imposing their ways - broadcasting a call to prayer through loudspeakers five times a day, curbs against consumption of liquor, pork etc, covering up of women - on everyone wherever they gain sufficient political leverage to do so. This is what makes them the most detested religion across the world.

Hamtramck's Muslim population has an excellent opportunity right now to change hearts and minds about Islam's ability to modernize and fit into an American milieu. Using their new found political power to unilaterally roll back annoyances like the call to prayer could go a long way in winning them goodwill in the community. But in all probability, this opportunity too will be frittered away.
