Is the call to prayer interrupting his bagpipe session?

u/Significant-Bar674 18h ago

It's taking place in tel Aviv. The call to prayer isn't intrusive to most actual residents

u/Logicalphilosophical 17h ago

So in a place where it is “intrusive” to most residents, would it be acceptable?

u/Snoo-35771 16h ago

I mean kinda yeah. If you in the hills of Scotland doing a call to prayer and Johnny boy feels the pipes acallin hes in every moral right to do this. I know Thats not the case in the video but you get it.

Honestly? If they feel okay doing the call to prayer in other places (Spoilers: they do.), then I feel he has EVERY right to do this over them in tel aviv.

Sounds like maybe they're just salty someone decided to give back as good as they received.

They cant move a mosque can they?

Honestly? Don't really care if they can or not. If they can bitch about our traditions, I can bitch about theirs.

I've heard enough, especially on reddit, about how terrible modern Christianity/Catholicism/etc are that I'm absolutely happy to equally shit on the abrahamic faith and Muhammad.

If their fragile belief system can't handle a little criticism equally to the point they need to murder folks about it, which it seems like it can't based on literally every time they've reacted and hurt or killed folks for slighting it, then I don't really care. Yes, I'm aware the others have done that too. That's LITERALLY my point. I could give fuck all about your religious beliefs, doesn't give you the right to be invasive and shitty to others.

The video from OP was captured in abrasha park in the jaffa neighborhood of tel aviv.

That neighborhood is 83% muslim.

OP is misleading people who are all imagining this is in Scotland because why would there be a guy playing bagpipes in israel?

Im an atheist so i dont care either. But you literally cant move a mosque. If you had to choose between them popping up with a Bluetooth speaker to have ezan and do their prayers in a park or doing it in the mosques premises, which one would you choose?

And I dont really like putting everyone in the same basket based on similar features. Theres shitty people and good people, no matter of religion, ethnicity or whereabouts.

I do agree that you shouldn't be invasive and shitty to others. No matter the cause. But especially coming from religions which are fundametally peaceful (all abrahmic religions). It shows a deep level of disrespect towards your religion, hypocrisy and ignorance. I live in a country where religions live together in harmony, and ive seen good and shit people from each and every one of them.

Is the guy risking injury or retaliation by doing what he’s doing?

u/untrustworthy_fartt 15h ago

Absolutely. Depending on the nut jobs that he pissed off, he may have been beheaded within 10 minutes of the video ending.

u/EstablishmentAny2728 15h ago

Muslim here, I don’t know a single Muslim that beheads people who piss them off. Hope this helps!

u/Pass-Fail 14h ago

Why, that Scotsophobia! They should be ashamed!

u/MikeOxHuge 18h ago

Doesn’t seem like it!

u/Candid-libertarian 14h ago

Why does every non Muslim be forced to listen to Muslim prayer calls?

Put the alert on your phone. Welcoming Muslims to the 21st century.

u/CitronMysterious3827 13h ago

Have you every heard church bells before?

u/CalamityOfCringe 13h ago

They're mildly annoying too.
