Indiana lieutenant governor calls for ban on Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers, Hamas-linked CAIR enraged

Finally! “Indiana Lt. Governor Calls for Ban on Mosques Broadcasting Call to Prayer Over Loudspeakers,” Twitchy, July 11, 2026:

Last October, Mehdi Hasan argued that if American Christians are allowed to ring church bells, then mosques have the right to blare the Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers, starting at sunrise. Indiana Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith says the media was all over him on Friday, asking for comment on his call to ban mosques from playing the call to prayer over loudspeakers five times a day. Then, to clear things up, he gave his official response…

As expected, activist CAIR with its Hamas links resorted to its default name-calling of “anti-Muslim” (aka “Islamophobic”), but this time, the group added the label “Christian supremacist” to describe Beckwith.

But who’s the real supremacist? The adhan is a disruptive bellowing that awakens neighborhoods in the wee hours of the morning and interrupts business at other times of the day. It is a public summons to ensure that every Muslim (and non-Muslim) can hear it. It noisily declares Allah’s supremacy over all other deities.

The adhan isn’t by any stretch of the imagination similar to church bells, which are not remotely disruptive and do not proclaim Christianity’s superiority to other religions. How anyone could make that comparison is peculiar.

This X post exposes the supremacist goal of pro-adhan activists:

Even in Saudi Arabia, “families had been complaining that competing speakers were keeping their children awake.” And so Saudi Arabia defended an order in 2021 to turn down the volume of the adhan. So why should the West put up with it in the name of DEI?
