Featured Goa Court orders to stop using loudspeakers for Azan

.
Just for the azaan while everyone else can use loudspeakers?
Yaar, as a muslim, I'm not sure you guys will understand but it is uniquely annoying, this call to prayer thing.. much more so than sunday Church bells or temple bells, none of which are amplified on loudspeakers to reach large areas of the neighborhood 5 times a day everyday of the year.. big difference.
 
.
Temple bells are integral part of Hinduism and existed for thousands of years whereas loudspeaker is a recent invention and is not part of Islam.

Muslims can go to courts seeking ban on temple bells they will be told the same.

The Indian Supreme Court has also said that bursting firecrackers is not part of Hinduism thus they need not be burst on Deepawali / Diwali and other occasions.

Equally of Zoroastrians and Christians.

I saw an Arabic movie recently about a Palestinian taxi driver in love with another Palestinian girl.

He is a good singer and can sing the Quran very melodiously.

There is a competition called Arab Idol in Sanaa in Egypt which he escapes out of Palestine borders for and takes part in and wins. Sparking huge celebrations back home.

Now that sort of singing is melodious.

Being jarred awake at 5 am is definitely not. And trust me, I grew up being jarred awake like that.

Cheers, Doc

Even then, Hindus don't burst crackers every day throughout the year. Diwali if stretched lasts a week. It's not for 365 days in a year.

I don't know if Temple bells are in every other temple. Most of them are not even that big we hear them ring only in the vicinity and not past 10 Pm when people settle down.

Also, the ban is not about Muslims, but a general ban on loudspeakers beyond 10 PM at night. At 75dB or higher.
And a ban on cone type speakers

Were you poor as a kid? Parsi rich kids should be able to afford a Muslim free area, but lemmie guess the azaan wasn’t that bad, right?

Stop this BS please. Everybody with more than two brain cells knows that the intention of the ban is to shit on Muslims. It’s like Pakistan banning Saati by saying it’s forbidden to burn widows, this applies to everyone, not only Hindus, right? The whole world would know what the intention is. But banning loudspeakers is a general ban right?

Thanks to Islamo-leftist propaganda, noise levels for crackers have gone down very significantly these past decades and continue to fall. In the neighbourhood I grew up in Delhi almost nobody bursts crackers anymore.

Bit of a shame but it's not all bad, the stray animals have it better now and pollution levels owing to crackers have also gone down so those are positives.

Time for Muslims to do their bit too, wouldn't you say ? There wouldn't be resentment against you guys and the need for judicial action if the Indian Muslim community themselves decided to either switch off or turn down, significantly, the volume of their 5 times a day, 365 days a year stuff, and even more during Ramzaan time.. "get up and hog all you can now !!!!" stuff.. sooo annoying. :tdown: :angry:

We lived for some time on the outskirts of a very Muslim area that was the battleground of some of the bloodiest riots India has ever seen.

Once as a kid I was caught up in a mob because my dad couldn't get to my school to pick me up.

I'm probably alive today because our Muslim rickshaw wala Panna braved the mobs to get me home.

I've grown up having Muslim friends.

My first girlfriend and amorous tryst, Salma, was a Muslim girl from that neighbouring locality. She was 4 years elder than me.

We moved out of that area to a safer more cosmopolitan one soon thereafter.

Parsis often get mistaken for Muslims in riots. It happened in Gujarat as well.

We are too small a community not to be to careful about where we live and who we have surrounding us. And who we know.

Hope that explains.

Cheers, Doc

Don't make stupid comparisons. Loudspeakers are not just banned for Muslims, there were temples that used loudspeakers too that were banned already.

And they are banned and people went to jail for that.
Similarly I hope if anyone violates this, they too shall go to jail.

Ahh poor doc , grow a pair and stop licking your wounds.

You might have seen my comments on another thread regarding loudspeakers and i state again that i do no approve use of loudspeakers for anyone be it muslims, christians or Hindus. I believe in equal rights of everyone be it in India or Pakistan. I hope you would understand my position here.

Ni shite :D
Every one in India grown up with Muslims so what's new?
There was no difference back then until petro dollars arrived with Saudi money and masjids started preaching Wahhabism.

Govts have been banning bursting crackers after certain time in the night during Diwali long time it went to supreme court.even today if some one bursts crackers in the middle of the night ,they can be booked.
