I'm wondering about this as I thought you needed to be rooted too. However I'm not rooted but using MyPhoneExplorer I have access to the system app files and there is an option to delete. I posted a question about it here http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/204183-phone-explorer.html#post1817608 I'm not sure if it works or not as I haven't been brave enough to try it yet.

yep if you're a comp nerd
you can you can root it if not try;
"If you do have an HTC Desire and want to disable this feature, click on the Al Moazin software and ensure that the speaker shown there is on silent. Then hit settings and make sure each of the timings are unchecked!"

Even if you're rooted, that option won't work. You.need to be s-off too. Cdma users get s-off at root however.
It may look like it works with normal root but the app gets replaced.
If you're rooted and don't want a custom rom or s-off, you have to use adb

I couldn't find it in Doha, so I bought mine in Dubai last week.
Same problem, which initially woke me just after 4 am with al-Moazin screaming out for a prayer. I simply shut it up, disabled the speaker and leave it running, as it seems to take up only little space.
The other 2 apps I left as they are a novelty factor in Europe.
Could you post a follow-up if you managed to root and throw out what you did not want?

If you root, you have.to.do this:
http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/158131-how-easily-remove-installed-system-apps.html
Otherwise you can just install.a.new Rom.
Mind you, if you don't mind wiping the phone, you could debrand with a goldcard and official HTC Rom

You can just debrand it, no need to root.
You need to create a goldcard first. There are some debranding threads somewhere in this forum.
