Minneapolis is poised to allow mosques to broadcast Muslim prayer calls five times a day.
The proposed ordinance would change that by removing language restricting the amplified sound overnight from city code.Public broadcasts of the adhan are common in Muslim-majority nations, but remain rare in the U.S.
The Detroit suburbs of Dearborn and Hamtramck and Patterson, New Jersey have practices and policies similar to the one proposed in Minneapolis.Jaylani Hussein told Axios the change "sends a message to the world that freedom of religion is practiced here."Hussein said he anticipates that three to four local mosques, including one at a popular Somali mall, will join the two that already regularly broadcast the adhan once the ordinance takes effect.
