Banning loud speakers

@Sharaabi

What about it? Azaan is not torturing someone. Its only torture for the shayateen,

Prove it. Are you saying a real muslim can sit in front of a loud speaker and listen to it with out any ear damage. It can be torture for anybody and it has nothing to do with you "Imaan", it depends on your proximity and the magnitude of sound.

@Sharaabi

*as it is the hadith that they run away and disperse when Azaan is called out. *

Give hadees also where it states that artificial means to magnify the sound is aloud.

@Sharaabi

Azaan and Salaah are cure for the soul and the body, and sickness only emerges when you deviate from that which is right.

Your opinion, study, research or suni sunai baat. Without reference means nothing, zilch, zero, nada.

@Sharaabi

Well in your opinion a great part of Islam should be dispensed with, since it is all something of the past. Hence your opinion doesn't count.

You pressume too much.

@Sharaabi

All I said is that the azaan on the loudspeaker is something that is common in muslim countries, and the non muslim knew about it when they moved down here. They certainly didn't have an issue with it then. Its like Arabia's hot weather...now that's an issue too, but certainly nothing can be done about it. Azaan's pretty much similar.

Assumptions, presumptions and suppositions is all you have. What about the people who were born in Pakistan should they move out also. That to me is very subtle way of ethnic cleansing.

@Sharaabi

If you look into it, the callers back then...would take all possible measures to call out the azaan as loud as they can and make sure that the voice reaches as far as possible.

Reference? I am sure that was without any artifiticial means. If you can prove otherwise, be my guest.
Use common sense for a change. If we go to your "as loud as" possible with artificial means you can literally blow the ears off now a days.

@Sharaabi

Now that's the rule of thumb in this case.

First lets see your references where it states clearly (no interpretations) that you can call for prayer as loud as you can without the consideration for the people living around. And this was the classic if they get irritated they are shayateen.

Any kind of loud sound be it music, church bell, mandir ghanta, alarm clock or adhaan which is too loud from a certain decibal should be not allowed. This you can call a rule of thumb.
