Stop Islamic Domination!

A Regina mosque is blasting the Islamic call to prayer across downtown — and police are threatening anyone who complains.

The Jamia Masjid mosque has been granted a permit to broadcast the Islamic call to prayer on loudspeakers pointed in every direction — loud enough to be heard a kilometre away. It happened for the first time last week. They want to do it every Friday from now on. The call declares, in Arabic, that Allah is the greatest and that there are no other gods but him. Across the downtown core. On loudspeakers. Every week.

But the most troubling part isn't the mosque. It's who's cheering them on.

The Anglican church directly across the street, whose priest is thrilled about it. Global News journalists who heckled reporters trying to ask the imam legitimate questions. And the Regina police, who responded to public outcry not by enforcing the noise bylaw, but by warning citizens that criticism of the loudspeakers could land them in court under Mark Carney's new hate speech law, Bill C-9.

The city granted a permit for a broadcast disrupting an entire neighbourhood — then threatened the people who complained.

Canada was founded as a Christian country. For generations, Saskatchewan schoolchildren began their day with the Lord's Prayer. Then in the 1990s, a judge ordered it stopped after activists complained it violated their freedom of religion. Christianity was pushed out of the public square.

Now that void is being filled with loudspeakers that reach across a Canadian downtown. And the Anglican priest across the street is celebrating it.

When a foreign religious broadcast is imposed on a Canadian city, when the noise bylaw is selectively unenforced, and when police threaten citizens for objecting — that's not multiculturalism. That's domination.

Sign our petition to demand Mayor Chad Bachynski and Regina City Council revoke the permit and enforce the noise bylaw equally, without religious exemptions. Then chip in to help Rebel News keep covering this story.

To Mayor Chad Bachynski and the Regina City Council: We, the concerned citizens of Regina, demand you immediately revoke the temporary permit allowing the downtown Jamia Masjid to blast the amplified Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers, which disrupts our city core with noise audible over one kilometre every Friday.

This test of Islamic domination under the banner of multiculturalism has sparked widespread outrage over noise pollution. Yet police have responded by ramping up patrols around Muslim sites and warning that threats related to the controversy will be investigated under the enhanced hate crime provisions of Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act—even while they approved the disruptive broadcast.

Enforce the Noise Abatement Bylaw equally, silence these loudspeakers now, and stop Islamic domination in Regina!
