!.01, a ban, imo. I mean, it's different in Britain because Pakistan's part of the commonwealth, innit? But what has Switzerland ever done to deserve minarets spring up al over the place?

a 5am wake up call , coming to a town or village near you soon .
Would have been really useful when the Lead Mines were operating round here and the guys walked 5 or 6 miles over the hills to work ..

I think JJ is referring to the muezzin calling the faithful to prayerfrom the minaret. But if you don't know what a minaret is, you won't know what a muezzin is.

Here's a Youtube vid with a minaret and a muezzin in it. You can't see the muezzin, but you can hear him. I wouldn't want to live next door to that racket.

I live within earshot of Birmingham central mosque and if there's an early call to prayer, I've never heard it.

There is one at about midday and one in the evening, neither of which bother me.

Just more stirring from people who know no better imo.
