Muslim call to prayer disturbance


mrfrustrated

Recommended Posts

First of all I have nothing against Muslims. Some of them are my friends... but why can't the Muslim call to prayer be broadcast through a local radio channel so as not to disturb non-Muslims? Why are Muslims infringing on the rest of the population's right to freedom from being disturbed ? Do other religions do this ? No.


My neighbors are Buddhists, Catholics and many other beliefs - and all of them agree with me that we should


not be disturbed by Muslim noisy calls to prayer several times a day from 0430 onwards. Does anyone agree?

have you asked christian churches to stop ringing their bells? have you asked the local wat to quit beating that drum? have you asked to pooyai ban to quit turning on the loudspeakers ? have you asked the funerals to turn off the music?

My guess is yes, yes, yes and yes, and all with the same effect.

I woke my neighbour the other morning.

In respect for my missus I went out onto the balcony to let rip my morning 'blow off', following a night of Indian food and strong cider. My neighbour's head appeared at his window to ask if we had a new pet elephant......It set the dogs off too....

What would you prefer? The Call to Prayer or my powerful Curry and Cider fuelled/scented morning ar*e emissions.....sometimes it's better to count your blessings.

I find the Call to Prayer quite atmospheric. On my first ever 'big trip' I recall getting to Egypt, first time outside Europe, hearing the Call in the morning behind the din from the traffic while in my hotel room and it really felt like I was 'away' for the first time.

Wouldn't like it every morning mind like they get it on Soi NernPlabWan in Pattaya....

If any this is consolation, this is what they are saying -- assuming you are in Thailand.

4x Allāhu akbar [God is great.]
2x Ash-hadu an-lā ilāha illā allāh
2x Ash-hadu anna Mohamadan-Rasul ullāh
2x Hayya ʿala ṣ-ṣsalāt [Hasten to worship.]
2x Hayya ʿala 'l-falāḥ [Hasten to success.]
2x As-salatu Khayrun Minan-nawm [Prayer is better than sleep.]
2x Allāhu akbar [God is great.]
1x Lā ilāha illā-Allāh [There is no deity but God.]

Did they build that mosque just lately?

I have never seen a church ring it's bells at 4.30 am or seen a funeral at that time

The monks appear after 6am but they just ring a super small bell which I find lovely when walking along getting there offerings ...no beating drums at 4.30 am from them

Sadly the morning call to prayer that mosques Blast out is a royal pain in the backside

But the village chief on his loud speaker in the morning can also take some beating in rural issan

My uncle climbed a pole to cut the wire to the speaker outside our house in issan to stop the chiefs early morning sermons ..by all accounts he would waffle about anything for hours at a time .again 6 am start

The funny thing about religion is what happens when you kick the bucket and leave this mortal coil and find out you have been batting for the wrong team all along ?

Let's suppose god is a Jedi master, do you think he would be pissed at the Christians, Muslims and all the rest ?

Allah akbar!

I always thought it was the Allo Snackbar.

Very popular snackbar, they all seem to know about the place.

Well, I don't like it if it wakes me up but I think there can't really be an objection if you willingly move into a neighborhood with this style of noise pollution. It's kind of like buying a house near an airport. You don't have credibility to complain if you made that choice (prices are usually discounted in such places). On the other hand if you moved into a place then then annoyance came LATER. then there would be grounds.

funerals can go all night, wats have a huge drum and poo yai bans run off at the mouth and play loud music. face it it, its bigotry

For all you guys that are over 50 or nearly dead, a Gopro is a miniature video camera.

Welcome to the 21st Century - a century that sees idiots flying into foreign countries and complain about them being foreign.

They aren't foreigners. They are EXPATS! Hahah
