Germany: Locals react to ban on mosque’s use of loudspeakers for call to prayer

 

Residents of Oer-Erkenschwick responded to a recent court ruling, on Sunday, which dictated that a mosque in the town may no longer broadcast its call to prayer through loudspeakers.

Members of the mosque’s congregation criticised the decision, with one man declaring, “[I] don’t understand this prohibition because it doesn’t affect anyone in the surrounding area.”
