Re: [Assam] links and news: In a flat world, " Loudspeakered Devotion"

[Dilip/Dil Deka]

This is what they should do:

Provide frequencies to radio stations that would broadcast the "Azan" at 4 AM or whatever time. The devotees who want to get up and pray, let them keep their radios tuned to the station. They can get up when they hear the call for prayer. Thus no one else will be bothered.

 

The Hindu temples could do the same with their radio frequencies to reach their devotees with devotional music.

Will it work? Are there other complications that I don't see?

A snippet: Mad shooting the loudspeakers!!:  Today morning while driving back from Atlantic City in New Jersey (at Trump's TajMahal Casino and the beach - I spent 10 cents there) with my NRI kid roommate and two Indians - I learnt about a bombshell. Maybe only in this age of internet where info has become common knowledge can something like this shock a person. The NRI kid mentioned that at college (he joined it again this Jan part time) he met one of his

friends ( "an American") who had just returned from Iraq as a soldier there. That fellow suffered from ADHD mental disorder and when at 4 am in the morning  the mosque's loudspeakers started shouting "Allah Ho Akbar Allah etc" he got so pissed off that he started shooting at the loudspeakers. Noone complained since Americans have already won there. I think this is an example (little known perhaps except those who do such things there) why some Middle Easterners call it a war against Islam.  An average American does not know basics about other faiths.

  

 

  

My roommate also empathized with him that why do in Islamic countries they blast out so much noise  at the mosque. He did not believe that it happens in India also and he also did not believe that India has more muslims (150 million) than all Middle East put together . If India had it would also be considred "bad" but it is not so its muslim population must be less than middle East

-he concluded.  till I explained that India has more population than both South and North America combined or whole Africa or whole Europe together- and 150 million people is peanuts by Indian standards.

  

 

  

I know many including myself do not approve being woken up at 4 am by the mosque 2 miles away -esp since there are hardly in muslims in the area where I lived in Jaipur. However, when I see that in almost all neighborhood parks - Hindu temples have been illegally built and they too have loud music blaring for hours -on festive season (unlike 2 minutes at atime for muslims) -what to do.
