| The Adhaan call to prayer being broadcast from a London Mosque Source: Metro |
From Metro: Call to prayer broadcast for first time in London borough for lockdown Ramadan: "Local authority Waltham Forest agreed that nine mosques could perform the Adhaan as mosques are closed and Muslims are unable to pray communally as they would usually at this time. The call to prayer was first broadcast yesterday and will continue at sunset daily throughout the fasting month of Ramadan, as well as again for Friday Juma prayers."
Readers will recall the account of a Christian preacher in London who was wrongly accused of Islamophobia after a passer-by called the police accusing him of hate speech. Confiscating the preacher's bible a police officer told him: "You should've thought about that before being racist".
But it is regarded as acceptable in a supposedly Christian country to allow Muslims to declare from mosque rooftops that Allah is superior: Allah is greater (Allahu akbar), that there is no God but Allah and that Mohammed is Allah’s Prophet!

In my entry Christian leaders endorse Islam I referred to the decision of the BBC to broadcast the Islamic call to prayer.
What hope can there be for Christianity in Great Britain when 'Auntie' BBC, religious leaders, police and councils aid claims to the supremacy of a different god.
