‘Well, that didn’t take long’: Islamic call to prayer loudly broadcast on New York City streets
Just weeks ago, New York City residents, including large populations of immigrants, elected a Muslim, Zohran Mamdani, the city’s new mayor.
He immediately praised his own religion as the one true faith, and now there are being broadcast into city streets, in multiple locations, the Islamic call to prayer, up to five times a day.
Actor James Woods, who commentary attracts as much attention these days as his other life accomplishments, pointed out, “Well, that didn’t take long…”

Comments that were posted after the Gateway Pundit released a report on the Islamic agenda including, “We. Told. You. So.”
And “This is what you asked for.”
And, “Public stonings.”
And, “Obama called it a beautiful thing.”
But a number of videos were posted, with comments showing the shock of New Yorkers at the development.
ISN’T THIS WHAT WE WARNED NEW YORK CITIZENS ABOUT?

FIRST the horrors of 9/11, now the call to prayer echoing across New York streets five times a day. This isn’t assimilation—it’s domination. Complaints fall on deaf ears while our cities change forever. New York has been conquered. This is only the beginning isn’t it? pic.twitter.com/3gukVPcM9E

Residents in this area of Manhattan, New York, are completely shocked to hear an Islamic call to prayer blasting on high-volume speakers as they walk down the street.
“I never thought in my life I’d hear this in the middle of New York.”
Unbelievable.pic.twitter.com/4w7R1RVf5D

We CANNOT let America fall to Islam like the UK
In New York you can now hear the Muslim call to prayer blasted throughout multiple cities 5 times per day. Even broadcasting the phrase ‘Allahu Akbar!’
This must be addressed IMMEDIATELY. Mass Deportations are the answer pic.twitter.com/r7DHb1Z1Ju

Commentator Amy Mek explained online, “My lord, America – the conquest we’ve warned about is exploding now. The Adhan isn’t a ‘beautiful call to prayer’; it’s a militant declaration: ‘Allahu Akbar’ (Allah is greater than your gods, laws, freedoms), ‘There is no god but Allah’ (all other faiths are false). Blared 5× daily from loudspeakers – 5 AM wake-ups included – it’s forced submission on non-Muslims, pure civilizational jihad straight from the Muslim Brotherhood playbook.”
Reports confirmed that there already are complaints from residents of Astoria, Brooklyn and Manhattan about the offensive noise from the Islamic broadcasts.
The agenda actually, reports confirmed, began under former Mayor Eric Adams in 2023, who allowed some calls to prayer broadcast. Under Mamdani, that apparently has been expanded, actually “supercharged,” according to some.

BREAKING: Manhattan residents furious as Islamic call to prayer blares five times daily—starting at 5 AM—ever since Mayor Mamdani took office.
Do you support banning Muslim’s call to prayer?

There already was one suggestion for responding: Do as the Scottish have done, playing bagpipes during the Muslim call to prayer.

One international organization that promotes itself as an answer to all business needs, UMVA, said, “The increase in broadcasts has sparked concern and frustration among many New Yorkers. Complaints are mounting, particularly in areas with large Muslim populations like Astoria, Brooklyn, and throughout Manhattan, as the volume and frequency of the calls grow.”
The report explained how the Islamic statements, are “interpreted by some as declarations of dominance and a rejection of other beliefs.”
It explained, “The growing frequency of these broadcasts is described by some as a form of ‘civilizational jihad,’ a deliberate attempt to reshape the cultural landscape of the city. This perspective views the situation as a calculated move, rooted in a specific ideological agenda.”
