The purpose of which is to give the local population a daily reminder of who's
in charge. Like I said, a power move.

To the extent those laws were motivated by religion, the same analysis (and
result) applies. Which is the main reason why those laws have been, for the
most part, repealed.

A more direct comparison would be the church bells on Christian churches. The
tradition of ringing them on Sunday mornings is pretty much the same thing: a
call to prayer. They are less intrusive, only ringing once per week rather
than five times every single day, but people who aren't religious shouldn't
have to put up with this shit from the Muslims *or* the Christians.

At least the Jews are quiet.
