Call to prayer - in Oxford
Residents of central Oxford are up in arms against the proposal - supported by the local authority - to have the amplified Muslim call to prayer played from a minaret in the city's mosque. The Muslims say it's the same as church bells which they 'tolerate'. However, the call to prayer is intended to be played three time a day, seven days a week - not quite the same as church bells once a week. Residents point out the contradiction between Muslims taking advantage of rights here in England which they cruelly deny to Christians in Islamic countries. When church bells can be heard in Riyadh, perhaps the call to prayer could be tolerated in Oxford.
