Jim Geraghty who writes TKS for National Review Online now resides in Ankara, Turkey, and has been describing some of the differences between life in the US and life in Ankara. This one caught my eye:

The call to prayer: I wonder if church attendance would be higher if five times a day, a loudspeaker at the top of the steeple blared, “Come to chuuuuuuurch… Come on, you know you ought toooooo…. God’s done a lot for yoooooooou, you can spare an hooooour…”

He might have a point there. Of course, I'm sure the ACLU would have a thing or two to say about it.
