Re: Totally unacceptable!!
The noise from the mosque probably upset some Muslim with "wasta", who made a complaint in the right quarter.

Re: Totally unacceptable!!
One thing I have noticed recently is the mosque near me plays the call to prayer which I quite like. However, a little time after the chap then speaks into a mike (not sings) and repeats the same phrase around 3/4 times. This always wakes me up as he gets really close to the mike and it sometimes literally rattles my windows. Is only something I have noticed in the past few months, never heard it before.

Re: Totally unacceptable!!
Overbearing, condescending, over-pious sons of b***s in the mosque next door!! Apart from the taraweehs every night, now they are broadcasting another taraweeh from 1.30 am which will go all the way to 4.00 am and which will go on for the next 10 days!?? What about the people living close by who have kids and who have to go to work tomorrow morning? And you can't complain to the police because you come off looking like a Munkir! And the poor non Muslims cannot complain at all because ofcourse they are afraid to loose their visas! This truly is a b***s**t move by whoever is in charge of this mosque!

yeah the last 10 days and especially the odd numbered nights (the 25th, the 27th and the 29th more so) are considered special and Im all for that but to blare it out on the speaker to make sure your letting the world know what your doing, even if the majority of the world around is either sleeping / not interested / of another faith....that's not cricket at all in my honest opinion

It was okay last night as there had been wine, tonight may be different...

The most holy of nights considered by all muslims (sunni and shia alike)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laylat_al-Qadr
it is the strong belief (mine included) that praying this night is like using a multiplier to the nth value
the fact that we are not sure which night it is, actually makes it more fun in my personal opinion
btw just for the record : its not a hall pass, it does not mean that you kill, rape, murder all year long and then get pious for the last 10 days of this month and all shall be forgotten

strikes me as odd, either god is listening or not surely

Re: Totally unacceptable!!
my own faith? yes I think so
and yes, there comes a time when logic demands you question things, I myself do so all the time but I dont pretend to know what God is thinking or try and judge anyone by whatever standards I have of God in my head
life is too complicated enough as it is to try and impose your thoughts on someone else

Re: Totally unacceptable!!
Cognitive dissonance is how you get around the issues when logic clearly demonstrates that your god belief doesn't match reality.

I got a travel alert about this event and I must admit I didn't know it, so this helps.

Re: Totally unacceptable!!
I guess, in Christianity, a similar event would be the birth of Christ. A very very special event and I do believe quite a lot of christians partake in the midnight mass.
