Combating Harassing Use of Mosquito Noise Device?

amicold asks: "For a while now my neighborhood has had to deal with an elderly neighbor who has displayed a slightly paranoid attitude towards myself and the fellow younger-adults of the neighborhood, believing us to be attempting to harass him in our day-to-day activities. Recently, he installed a Mosquito ultrasonic noise device as an apparent attempt to 'get back at us' for our harassment. As the Mosquito emits a sound that's well out of his hearing range, he can't hear it, while most of the rest of the neighborhood is under 40 and can; at which point it's causing everyone a great deal of discomfort. Unfortunately, because the police also can't hear it, we can't get the authorities to do anything about it, leaving us empty-handed in our attempts at getting some peace and quiet back. What can we do to either help the police realize how disturbing this device is, or counteract it so that it's no longer disturbing us? And is this the first of what may be a growing trend of civilians using high-tech discomfort weapons as a method of neighborhood warfare?"

Re:You call this a neighbor problem?

I hesitate over dignifying the above with a response, but I am utterly fed up with this kind of childish name-calling.

As a Christian, I have no particular reason to defend Islam, but I've seen enough of attacks on religions where the attack is based entirely on the behaviour of a small minority who probably don't even deserve to be called followers of that religion in the first place.

So, to put the record straight, in response to your question "What are the core tenets of Islam?":

1. "I testify that there is no god but God (Arabic:Allah) and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God."

2. Prayer five times a day.

3. Personal resonsibility to give alms to the poor.

4. Fasting during the month of Ramadan.

5. A pilgrimage to Mecca at least once.

Not much there about calling for the destruction of Israel or supporting terrorists, is there?

Now the question remains: "Do the leaders of the political state of Israel and their supporters, based on their recent actions, deserve to be called Jews?"
