## Summary

A woman was escorted from a Pinellas County commissioners meeting in Florida after playing a recording of the Islamic call to prayer during public comment. The incident drew arguments from people in the room and prompted the board chairman to explain that speakers must give comments aloud, a rule relevant to how public meetings are conducted.

The woman, dressed in a black veil that left only one eye visible, played the recording for nearly a minute before Chairman Dave Eggers told her to stop. When she did not comply, a sheriff’s deputy escorted her from the meeting and building. The sheriff’s office said she left without further incident and will face no criminal charges; it was unclear whether her action was intended as protest or a prank.
