I live a couple of blocks away from a pretty big Mosque. I've never heard anything.
Also live a few houses away from a Church. The choir can be quite loud too when they're at it.
I've heard these call to prayers loudly in Malaysia. They're actually quite pleasing to the ears, just like the Christian choirs.
But ey, if people got a problem, they'll find problems to complain about.
In Latoka Fiji, the Muslim loud speakers start wailing at 5 am every morning......No doubt the local authorities in Australia would soon put a stop to that....I think I would sooner listen to a church choir than that incessant irritating wailing which nobody understands.......The church choir would no doubt be once a week on Sundays.......What does it (walinig) all mean Luu?

Christians, Jews and Muslims all pray to the same God.
Something tells me religion is not at the root of all the wars.

Where did you get that silly idea ?
Christians, Jews and Muslims all believe that God belongs to them and them only and he will look after their "chosen people", and defeat their enemies.
That's worked really well so far hasn't it ?

VC can enlightened us on this, but I'm pretty sure the Christians, Jews and Muslims all worship that same Yahweh/God/Allah - same Dude.
For the Jews, Moses is God's only Prophet; to the Christians, Jesus Christ is the main man, God's son; for the Muslims, Muhammad is God's last prophet - with Moses, Christ also being prophets.
So all these war and clash of civilisations business is either one big Freudian kind of clash to see who's God's favourite people; or it's just simply about land, money and oil.
Since only Muslims are savages who'd fight war and terrorise people for no good reason than because of Islam telling them to; the Jews [as Israel like to think they represent] and the Christians [as the PR machine of the Alliance of the Willing tells us] are fighting for freedom, liberty, democracy... and if oil and strategic real estate happen to still remain after all the slaughter, well what else can we do but waste not, want not.

Mental illness... or... or just some people thinking that it's mental for others to somehow not believing in the same thing they do, and wouldn't mind getting rid of non-believers and those not getting with the programme.

You still refuse to accept that the west is not a Christian society in the same way as the Middle East is a Muslim society.
Christianity may have been influential in the formation of our laws but the majority of people don't go to church any more and our society is mostly secular.
Contrast that with the Middle East . Indonesia etc where the laws are made by Muslims for Muslims.

The US is quite a religious country. But true, their foreign policy have nothing to do with religion. Religion is just one of the tools politicians use to move their population.
As to whether the West is a Christian society or not... it's more secular but we still celebrate all the Christian Holy Days as a public holiday. So it's not as secular as we think. Take gay marriage; birth control/abortion in the US.
As to Arabs and Muslims being all fundamental religious people... not sure about that either. That's the image we're getting from our authority and media. Who knows. People might just turn up to Mosque because it's a habit and like all people around the world, most never cared for the entire religious texts and all its magic.
Christians got their Bible bashers, Muslims sure got theirs. And if the country is ruled by religious nuts, well... we get banned on gay marriage; "pro-life" politicians quoting the Bible about life being precious and then vote on cutting welfare to the poor and carpet bombing other people.

Don't expect that to change in a hurry.
If there was a proposed public holiday for Muhammed's birthday or what ever, the average Aussie would queue up to take full advantage.

Who wants to wager it's not a Muslim husband who's done this?

Australian baby executed by Islamic State terrorists in chilling act of revenge after his father tried to flee the conflict zone and come home

Islam, the religion of peace.
Does this not answer the thread question for you?

When terrorist thugs kill babies, it's Islam that tells them to do it? Hence, Islam is evil and so all Muslims are too? It's not possible that ISIS did it because they're... I don't know, psychotic terrorists?
Just in case you haven't read what "our value" have been up to in the Middle East over the past few weeks.
There's that Trump singing off on a raid in Yemen. Killing some 28 villagers, some 18 of the dead are innocent children under 12 years of age. But one American soldier died and the US lost a $70M helicopter, so according to John McCain, it's anything but a success like Trump said it is.
Then there's Mosul... the "US-led" alliance dropped some 2,000 bombs on a single day.
The "Iraqi" tell the civilians to stay inside, do not try to leave the city.
Then in one strike, about 200 civilians were blown to bits while taking refuge in a basement of a good samaritan who thought the basement is big enough to housed their neighbours.
Back to Yemen... US-backed Saudi Arabia, buying some hundreds of billions of US and UK hardware, have been bombing the crap out of Yemen because they decided a Saudi stooge aren't serving Yemen's interests.
So the entire country is blockaded, its only bridge to the one port the Saudi controls is knocked out... no food, no water, no medicine goes in. Some 14 million people are either in or just a hair line above famine.
Whatever food or water or medicine that does managed to get through... the majority of the people are too poor, have no work due to the war and raids, that they cannot afford it even when it's available.
Yet, "our value" tells us to arm, provide intelligence and refuelling the Saudis - one of the most brutal and oppressive regime in the world. But they're "our bastards" so that makes it OK.
But ey, ISIS kill people and babies too. So Islam is evil.
