In Israel, Azan from speakers in mosques has been banned. Defense Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has ordered the police to confiscate the speakers installed in mosques and impose fines for making noise. According to the Times of Israel, complaints have been made about loud noise coming from mosques in East Jerusalem and many other areas. Those demanding a ban on speakers say that its loud sound disturbs their morning sleep. Ben Gvir told the police commanders that he will soon present a bill which will increase the fine on noisy mosques. Voices of protest have started rising in Israel itself against this decision. Mayors of some cities said – We see this move of Ben Gvir as an act of provocation against Muslims, this can spread riots. Ben Gvir accused of politicizing the police
The Abraham Initiatives Organization, which works to increase cooperation between Jews and Arabs in Israel, also opposed it. The organization said – this is an attempt to politicize the police. While criminals are roaming freely in the country, Ben Gvir is using the police as a political weapon. At the same time, Mansour Abbas, president of the Arab Islamist party Ra’am, appealed to the government to control Ben Gvir. He is provoking Muslims and forcing them to respond. Ben Gvir is proud of the decision to remove speakers
Ben Gvir told Channel 12 that he is proud of his decision to remove loudspeakers from mosques. These speakers have become a threat to Israeli citizens. He said – Most Western countries and even some Arab countries control noise and make many laws on this matter. It is ignored only in Israel. Praying is a basic right, but not at the cost of anyone’s life. Saudi and Indonesia also reduced the volume of speakers
Different countries of the world have different rules regarding the use of speakers during religious programs. Loudspeakers are not used for Azan in Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and France. A few years ago, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince (ruler) Mohammad bin Salman had ordered all mosques to lower the loudspeakers during Azan or other occasions. Similarly, in Indonesia, a country with a large Muslim population, the volume of loudspeakers was reduced in 70 thousand mosques. —————————————– Read this news related to Israel Hamas war… After Hezbollah, Hamas is also ready for ceasefire: Said- Israel should release our fighters, we will release the hostages.
