It is part of ISLAM; I’ll give an example and show you that the praying call is necessary. Praying call means calling Muslims to pray and many other things. Suppose that a good Muslim is driving in his car without having any watch or time. That Muslim is just turning in a place that doesn't have any mosque. He stopped the car, took his praying carpet and looked for something that can tell him if it's time to pray. He doesn't find any thing so he turns on the radio, and wait until the praying time. See it's very necessary.
Secondly, you're in a Muslim country! So you have to respect the praying wherever, on the Radio, on the mosque next to your home, anywhere... even if you were not in a Muslim country, you have to tolerate any thing related to any other religion different to yours...
That's what i do, i respect any other religion, and i'm sure that many people here in Qatar do.

P.S: sometimes, the praying time changes.
