Stop dawn call to prayer, Moroccan minister says
"The call to prayer causes hyper tension in islamic countries," says some muslim health experts.
What's the effects of the call to prayer on muslims behavior?
"Allah Akbar no God but allah," is the constant reminder for Jihad (attack) to establish the reign and supremacy of Allah all over the kafers' (enemy) world.
Is that what the West wants?
In the west muslims and western apologists want to allow the islamic call to prayer that muslims in islamic countries are suffering from its disturbance.
A debate has been going on for a while about the call to prayer in Egypt. Many muslims voiced their discontent publicly about the disturbance it is causing, especially to students, patients, and the scare that particularly the dawn call to prayer causes to infants. Some experts from the health and medical profession expressed their concerns of the long term hyper tension effects, and other symptoms on certain people from the continuous blasting of the call to prayer.
A medical research is definitely needed to study the effects on muslims behavior from being submitted to that continuous bombardement since birth, and its correlation with the jihadist instinct.
As expected, these debates are met with resistance from the islamic establishment and fundamentalists. Now, the same problem surfaced publically in Morocco
Baning the dawn call to prayer is in the best interest of tourism in Morocco
DUBAI (AlArabiya.net)
A Moroccan minister has stirred controversy across the kingdom by calling for a ban on the dawn call to prayer, Quds Press news agency reported.
Nouzha Skalli, Minister of Social Development, Family and Solidarity, said the move is in the best interest of tourism in the country, especially with mosques close to hotels and tourist areas.
She raised the issue with Minister of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, Ahmed al-Tawfiq, in a ministerial meeting at the end of March.
The head of the main opposition Justice and Development Party parliamentary bloc, Moustafa Ramid, issued a press statement calling Skalli's suggestion "faulty blabbering" and vowed to oppose the idea if she pursued it further.
"If the proposal acquires an official dimension, then she will be questioned in parliament," Ramid said.
Listen (to get close to reality, put your speakers at maximum volume), and imagine your ears, infants, or patients being blasted with this, starting at 4 AM every morning, 5 times a day, from hundreds of mosques. Cairo alone have more than 1000 mosques.

Assalamau Laikum all,
Been to see my auntie in Karachi and saw the 50,000 or so peoples PEACEFULLY protesting about Fitna...hence been offline. Ofcourse most of these peoples have not seen it...merely getting 2nd, to 10th hand info about the insults the prophet(which for example the turban bomb certainly is).
As to banning 5am call to prayer...certainly not...what is required is high quality speakers and a gradual increase of the volume over 30 seconds or so....indeed I feel this will have the opposite effect ...provide relaxation and vibrancy at the same time...especially beneficial to te lazy Amerike.
Still the one thing I would warn against is having sunni and shia mosques facing each other....we have one such like this in Lahore...and they try to out do each other with volume to win soccour ffrom Allah...but it does not win many friends ...as the call to prayer is not quite in sync.
However the fajar is beautiful...let there be no talk of banning it.
ibn Misr, Naseem is a well known troll from jihadwatch.com. Recommend that you ban this person, as their severe trolling never contributes anything and removes any possibility of real discussion of the items you post.
Tonight I'll say a prayer for the poor souls who have to listen to this noise daily.
The loud speakers of Mosques should be banned all over the world...it is noise pollution and can make one go death or hearing impaired. For those that are already deaf, the vibrations are enough to make one think there is an earth quake.
Nouzha skalli never talked about banning dawn call to prayer. This information is a hoax that has been relayed by people that want her out of the scene. A denial has been issued the day after in "Aujourd'hui Le Maroc". You can read it here (in french) : Even if the title is ambigous, the article clearly states that she never said such a thing.
There is no debate about banning the call to prayer in Morocco and there will no be soon, so don't bother ...
Dear Jr. I have been debating muslims for years, and I have been exposing islam also for many years, and believe me when I tell you this. No one exposes islam better and more than when you let a muslim talk. No matter what I say or you say about Islam to educate western people, It won't be as crude, genuine and shocking as when they hear it from muslims themselves. I hope you get my point.
Kindly
ibn
Listen I have been to Morocco - I wish the dawn call to prayer in Marrakech sounded that good - listen - think - broken speaker - bellowing deafening sound almost directly above you. It just can't be described in normal terms.
People in the UK think the call to prayer is a good idea - but many have not spent much time in the Islamic world. This is how it works - one loud speaker comes on - then when that is about 1/3 complete - another one chimes in - down the road or across the way, then another one - then another one - then yours the one that is deafening you stops - then the others stop in turn.
I have no illusions or romantic feelings about the call to prayer and think it belongs firmly in the Islamic world - God was never meant to be that loud!!
