Traverse City Church Defends Muslim Call Ban at Veterans Day Concert
The Detroit Free Press reports that leaders of church in Traverse City, Michigan, are defending their decision to exclude a Muslim call to prayer, which had been planned as part of an interfaith concert at a local high school on Veterans Day. “The Rev. David Walls of Traverse City’s First Congregational Church says leaders feared it might offend military personnel or their families to hear ‘a prayer in Arabic, addressed to Allah.’”
