Re: Group demands ban on Fajr Aazan across India
It is posts like this that reminds me that some people impose their religion and customs and views of when you should sleep and when you should be up on others. And posts such as this that will ultimately catalyzed such bans. Such posts serve as a stark reminder that some people , when they are in the majority, will not hesitate to impose their will on the masses of all colors stripes and faiths. And hence will serve as the best argument for mischief makers who in this instance are creating trouble by asking for a ban.
Be truly secular in your heart and actions when you are in the majority. And you have earned the right to being treated fairly when you are a minority. Make such arguments. And the inconsistency of your argument is clear for folks to see.
Some posts should be read and re-read again by some of the posters here. This I think belongs to that category. Religion is a very private matter and I really do not know if God is being forced to hear some of the prayers.
In a time wherein there are any number of means to be reminded for the time for prayer, I think it is surprising that we still need loudspeakers.
People who want to pray will find a way to get reminded, while people who do not want to pray would not pray if you have the loudest speakers..

Have you even read my response? If you had you would realise that your remarks are out of place ... I am arguing for pluralism - which means "all religious groups get their way" ... And according to my post all religious groups have an ingrained culture for waking early ... My argument is that the new contention to Azaan is misplaced ... It has never been a problem before.
Weak.
How about atheists who don't care to be woken up how about those with different schedule who have to work till say 1 am go to bed at 3 and wake up at 9am.
Pluralism means ensuring EVERYONE s rights protected. Not just religious people's rights.
And if you are for pluralism would you do away with laws based on ONE religion. I didn't think so.
