    Adhan (prayer call) through minaret should be banned

    Adhan (prayer call)  hurts who does not pray

     

    According to news released in press, prayer call through minaret in Fittja masque in Botkyrka Kommun will start to disturb neighbors from the next few months.

    Ismail Okur, the responsible of one of “Islamic associations” applied for this as part of the step by step to apply Islam Sharia law in community. Ismail Okur has previously demanded that halal slaughter should be allowed and the introduction of leave from work during Islamic holidays. But it was prevented by secular people and the protest of many people. Now he wants to bring Azan to people ´s life by minaret on Fridays.

    I would first like to point out the difference between imams who act as self-appointed religious leaders and those “Muslims” who live in a secular life and not seeking to adopt and live by Sharia in Sweden. The small first group represents a political form of Islam that wants to control society under Sharia law, on the other hand the great majority of the “Muslims” live in Sweden not only would not like the medieval rules but also believe that religion is a personal matter.

    It is heard about freedom of religion, but it seems it is forgotten the freedom of no religious as well. So Azan by minaret means the imposition of religion by force to people´s life especially who have another believe or have not any religion. In addition, Azan harasses people especially kids, olds and who are sick. Indeed Azan by minaret is an apparel assault to individual privacy so it conflicts with the principle of secularism in the community.

    It seems it is forgotten that in order to people protests in many countries where Sharia is implemented in legislation has sought to call to prayer will be so low that it cannot be heard outside the mosque.

    Please don´t ignore! Behind the aforementioned application is a group of Islamists who want to turn some suburbs of Islamic societies. This leads to women and girls are oppressed and do not dare to live and dress as they please. Experience shows how Islamists put themselves in other people’s privacy. You absolutely have seen research programs on TV channels in Sweden that show how girls and women are under pressure and have no right under Islamic environments.

    We request you to don´t turn the Fittja area to Islamc gettoes and don´t support these Islamic groups cause in this way they will get power and will be independent in the future so will impose Sharia low. Enabling the muezzin from the mosque in Fittja can be a fatal step in this development.
