[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has lived in a country where the call to prayer is blasted on a megaphone, it’s awful.  I don’t care if it sounds “lovely,” there are times in the day when you don’t want to hear something like that, lovely or not.

It’s especially bad when two mosques are in proximity to you but their timing is slightly off so you get DOUBLE the call to prayer, or slightly overlapping call to prayer.

The call to prayer was designed before megaphones and loudspeakers, that bit of technology ruins it.  Even Muslims in the country I stayed hated it but they, too, we’re afraid to organize opposition.

This. Being not right next door to a mosque is a real consideration when people look for housing.[/quote]

I am sure it was a consideration before, because in that area it would be also near little Ethiopia and people don’t want to live there unless they are Ethiopian or can’t afford anything else. There is a lot of drawbacks as it is. [/quote]
