Islam survived for centuries without loudspeakers. They are not "essential" to Muslim faith. If they want to put someone in a minaret to sing loudly (in a natural unamplified voice), I would not gainsay them.

My only reaction is to think that we can talk about permitting loudspeakers for Muslims when church bells are permitted in Mecca. Until then, I don't see the point.

Just a simple thought from a simple mind.
