You wouldn't believe.
As a kid, when the mullah called for evening prayers, it was throughout Abu Dhabi. They even had loudspeakers close to the beach, for anyone that was there late.
I went to elementary school Saturday through Wednesday, and Thursday and (holy) Friday were off, because of UAE law at the time.
Was a different time then, and Arabs weren't bothered by Western Europeans or Americans, they just thought we were weird. That was before Israel instituted apartheid with American approval, and everything went to ****.
I don't know what the mullah call is like now.
