Minneapolis Makes History with Muslim Call to Prayer Decision
TL;DR
Minneapolis City Council unanimously approved amending the city's noise ordinance to allow broadcasts of the Muslim call to prayer, known as the adhan or azan, at all times. Minneapolis becomes the first major American city to do so. The amendment is expected to be signed into law by Mayor Jacob Frey next week. The move is seen as a step towards religious freedom and diversity in the city, which has a booming East African population.
