Max Genest - Public Reacts to the Call to Prayer in Regina

00:00:00.000 This is Mechina. Here I am in downtown Regina, where the call to prayer scandal happened.

00:00:05.140 There was a mosque and they started to call to prayers.

00:00:11.400 The city council had no vote on this.

00:00:14.180 In fact, the reason why they did it is because the police gave them the permit using already existing noise bylaws.

00:00:21.480 Now, they had to shut the whole operation down because of backlash from the community.

00:00:25.200 the police even said that if you start harassing the muslim community they're basically gonna go

00:00:30.160 after you and very interesting i've seen there's a large diaspora muslim community here in regina

00:00:37.680 so i have a sign here that says allow mosque call to prayer yes or no hey what do you guys think of

00:00:43.120 the sign over here if we should allow the cult of prayer to happen or not yes yes okay do you think

00:00:49.360 it would be a good idea if it was like five times a day during ramadan sure that would be better

00:00:55.360 better okay what's like should it be five times a day every day yeah yeah could be no comments no

00:01:03.280 a comment no are are you folks um um muslim yourselves yeah okay all right we're just asking 0.79

00:01:08.960 people what they think about the cult of prayer terrorists terrorists i think everyone is a piece

00:01:15.040 piece of the greater picture right i think you know canada is far more multicultural than it

00:01:19.600 was and i think it's just fantastic uh yeah there should be um what should be the limit

00:01:27.040 should there be a limit at all no so if it's like five times a day all day uh

00:01:35.040 just as long as they're communicating with god and stuff you know okay should we allow 0.57

00:01:43.440 the call to prayer to it happened no no yeah the mosque called the prayer oh my god they're lost 0.74

00:01:52.720 to me it sounds like a nice idea so why not i'm indifferent you're in you're indifferent just

00:01:57.840 don't care you know other people be other people right there's a thing that people can do in

00:02:04.000 liberal democracies where they use the liberal democracy to undermine the liberal democracy

00:02:08.880 right um there's a way in which blasting a call to prayer which is non-neutral over the entire area

00:02:16.800 claims the public space in the name of their faith if we should allow the call to prayer or not

00:02:23.840 should we all right it's wild
