Petition – De-Secularisation of Mississauga, Ontario?
Noise doesn’t bother me that much.
Nothing much bothers me in this hot and populous city.
I have an English friend who does get bothered, so much that she moved out of her apartment near Rasuna Said.
Because of the noise from several mosques in the vicinity.
The problem in Jakarta has come up frequently over the years I have lived here.
Even Vice-President Kalla, a very active and serious Muslim, felt obliged to point out that a bit of consideration might be in order.

Turn It Down! Ex VP Urges Volume Control for Noisy Indonesian Mosques
Unfortunately, unless things have changed, and I doubt that very much, the local authorities won’t use noise abatement regulations against mosques…
Mosques Above The Law! ‘Too Sensitive’ to Enforce Noise Control! And Criticism? – ‘An Outrage!’
…which is of course outrageous, but outrage is comparative.
Let’s not ignore what befell an inoffensive old Muslim who dared to complain in the extremely backward, intolerant Indonesian province of Aceh…
‘Immoral Activities – Sitting in Coffee Shops Laughing and Talking…’

Islamist Mayor – We Know Where You Live! Submit to Indoctrination OR ELSE!
…a dreadful place, where sectarian savages threatened to kill the old guy, for asking that the local mosque make just a little less noise…
Aceh – Muslim Seeks Quieter Mosques, Bullied Into Silence, after ‘Death Threats!’
…which reminds me of a more recent outrage…

…the poor woman in Sumatra, whose imprisonment must have sent a sensation of horrified dismay through every decent citizen of every creed in this fascinating archipelago.
So when my Canadian friends in Mississauga, Ontario, decide whether to sign this petition or not…
Listening to a “call for prayer” could be done on the TV, radio, or phone applications….
Imagine if every religious institution or any institution wanted to broadcast whatever it is that gives them comfort, out loud for the whole neighbourhood….
You need to immediately rescind this decision in order to allow all of the citizens of Mississauga practice their own religious practices either in the place of worship or in their own homes.
