To think

that in the West there have been what seem to be continual conflicts over the ringing of church bells on an irregular basis.

Uproar over prayer calls in Muslim Morocco

Can you imagine the call to prayer, 5 times a day, for five minutes each time, very loud? I'm not familiar enough with the rules around prayer for Muslims. Is there a specific (meaning to the minute) time to pray, or is it just a reminder/demand for prayer at those times according to the religious requirements?
