Israel has OK'd a bill to make mosques quieter. It says loudspeakers during the call to prayer are too loud and damage people's life. The call to prayer happens five times a day, from dawn to after sunset. An Israeli politician said, "hundreds of thousands of Israelis suffer" from the loudspeakers.

Israel's Prime Minister said Israel has freedom of religion, but it must also protect citizens from noise. An Arab politician said the bill was racist and its aim was to make people hate Arabs. Another critic of the bill said it would hurt relations between Jews and Arabs. Arabs make up about 20 per cent of Israel's population.
