Morning prayers on loud speakers

Submitted by Prashant, Dec 4, 2016 at 20:44

Dear Dr Pipes, Your reader Jessica from Canada writes about her objection to the morning prayers on loudspeakers. I agree. In india Muslims constitute less than 20% of the population but you will not find many Indian towns, villages, and cities where these prayers are not heard five times a day at odd hours. I think these prayers are impolite and thankless.
