I am also not Muslim and I LOVE the singing from the mosque. In winter I hear it more, because it gets light later in the morning. I often put my radio off so that I can hear it and in the evenings, I sometimes pause outside to listen.

I'm not going to engage in trying to enlighten you about Islam in this forum. Apart from anything else, as a non-Muslim, I am a long way from being an expert. However, I think you need to do some research into Islam in order to have a better idea of the what and why of the adhan. It might give you another, less offensive, perspective. (Just to clarify: I live very close to the border with Salt River, so the adhan - from both mosques - is very much a part of my life.)

This morning, again, Sunday 5:55 pm, I was woken by wailing from the mosque located in Northern Obz, yet I live numerous blocks away. During Ramadan I was even getting wake up calls in stereo! from a complimentary mosque which I think is located over in Mowbray. Is anyone else losing sleep or distrubed from this noise pollution? And does anyone know if a mosque has special privelige over any other entity that creates a noise disturbance, even if it is an auspicious time on their calendar? Which I assume would be every few hours, 24 hours a day if they continue having their way. This said, I mean no disrespect specifically to Islam and of the Imans whose vocal talents are invariably on par with the sound of a live cat being gutted. I'd equally think as little of Celine Dion hopping on the PA to deprive me of precious sleep... -- OPS [Obsid Public Safety] - 24/7 control room ---------------------------------------------- 021-447-1066 072-063-1653 For all emergencies please dial 10111 ---------------------------------------------- ONW: 082 081 0142, ONW email: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups The Observatory Neighbourhood watch group.
