Listening to the lovely bells of Winchester, one of our great mediaeval cathedrals. So much nicer than the aggressive-sounding “Allahu Akhbar.” Or is that just my cultural upbringing?
Yeah but would it hurt to get some nice Bose PA system or something? Get those allahu akbhars sounding nice and crisp as they echo through the streets.
The euros in general drive around in their 1 cylinder little Fiats blasting the most dogfuck awful electronic music from their shitty speakers. The whole continent needs a Taliban-style music ban
And all over England shitty bell-ringers clang away on Sundays.
As an atheist with a background in hard science the worst thing about Twitter is how often it reveals your academic heroes to be as small-minded and racist as the people they oppose. Dawkins is the prime example. Brilliant man, right about a lot, racist and utter tool.
If amplified singing in public is the problem can you point me to any of Dawkins tweets on busking?
I don’t like public displays of religion either but Dawkins takes pains to promise the beauty of Christianity while deriding Islam as less “good”. He’s a fucking hypocrite.
As an atheist I can tell you there is beauty and stupidity in both religions, just depends on where you look.
Ironically, Dawkins knows better than anyone that race itself is a bullshit concept which doesn’t align with modern science. However just because race isn’t real doesn’t mean racism isn’t. Similarly you can discriminate against a group of people, like Jews, who aren’t a race no problem at all.

Wow, Snappy is being very well-fed with pasta this week.
I feel similar to you. I have to credit "the god delusion" for helping to eventually becoming an athiest but some of Dawkins racism and sexism is really hard to accept. This is a man who was brought up in a pre colonial kenya whose father workerd a civil servant to the British Empire. Had colored servants as well btw.

Does Dawkins believe that instead of bells mosques have people on top of minarets shouting "ALLAHU AKBAR" as aggressively as possible?
I agree with you but in this case the fedora tipper merely stated that he prefered a certain sound over another, so what the fuck are you talking about, retard?
Sure, "the aggressive-sounding Allahu Akhbar" is an absolutely neutral way to describe a phrase commonly used during prayers. Sad that you didn't pass the grade school exercise. See you in September.
lmao thanks for the whitesplaining. I'm muslim and I'd totally understand why someone who is not used to the Athan wouldn't like it. It's pretty much what he said.
Also yes, the athan has allahuakbar in it, what's the problem if he said ? It's literally the main part of the athan. Not everything is a dog whistle
I see he never lived near churchs. Anyone who was awakened by the ring of bells a sunday at ten after a night long bender will tell you that priest should be hanged.

No. He's right Alluh Akbar is usually followed by a stabbing or an explosion.

Bells ringing are usually followed by a city wide chant of "SHAME"

It's called a Call to Prayer and, to be fair, at can be quite beautifully sung.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fe8qRj12OhY
Mosques will play it loudly and publicly much like church bells.
1 rhyme-ocerus 2018-07-17
Yeah, I think bells are objectively nicer sounding but before you revoke my American citizenship, calls to prayer can be nice sounding too.
1 Swingfire 2018-07-17
It literally never sounds like that when it's being blared out of a rack of shitty horn loudspeakers from a minaret

If only Muslims knew how to blast a sick beat and had some proper gear. France has the potential to be such a beautiful country.

If I'm not mistaken it's haram to add instruments to their nasheeds

Sure, if they want a sound system that is marginally better than the one they currently have at a price four times as much.

Im sure not wanting to hear people yell into a microphone is very racist, that's why I go to karaoke so I know at least who's not a Nazi.

Agreed. Being old as shit is a huge predictor of someone’s racial and sexual politics unfortunately. His comments about women are equally appalling.

Do you unironically believe people actually say the latter thing that aren't open and self proclaimed racists?
1 Kiroen 2018-07-17
It was hyperbole. The people who actually want to defend a racist opinion tend to be more concealed about it.
