Azerbaijan annul ban on mosque loudspeakers
By: Sheikh M Khurasani
BAKU, Azerbaijan: Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev has reversed a
controversial ban on mosques from using loudspeakers for the Adhan
(call to prayer) that had sparked widespread outrage.
"At a meeting today between the president and the Caucasus Muslim
Administration, the decision to forbid the use of loudspeakers for the
call to prayer was canceled," Ali Hasanov, a senior aide to Aliyev,
said Tuesday.
The Caucasus Muslim Administration, which manages Muslim affairs on
behalf of the government, imposed the nationwide ban last week, saying
that loud calls to prayer were disturbing residents.
The decision caused an outcry among many Azerbaijanis and human-rights
groups, who decried the ban as a violation of religious freedoms.

get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
