Refleksi : Di Turki keras suara loudspeaker mesjid dibatasi decibelnya. Di
Indonesia mungkin karena terlalu banyak pengangur dan lagi banyak yang kafir
jadi diadakan pertandingan suara yang paling keras.

Ulema calls for ban on noisy loudspeakers
The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Mon, 11/09/2009 12:21 PM | National



The South Kalimantan's chapter of Indonesian Ulema Council has proposed an edict
that bans the use of loudspeakers if it is considered to be disturbing other
people, even though they are used to broadcast the call to prayer five times a
day or a sermon.

Council member Muhammad Noor, who is a lecturer at Antasari State Islamic
Institute in the provincial capital of Banjarmasin, told Antara state news
agency Monday that a group of ulema attending a discussion in Tabalong regency
recently concluded that deafening loudspeakers, albeit for good purposes, could
spark disagreement among Muslims and non-Muslims due to the noise and discomfort
caused.

Noor said the ulema suggested that Muslims exercise their freedom of religion
without sacrificing the rights of other people.

Participants of the discussion agreed that the use of loudspeakers was aimed at
propagating Islam, but its excessive application might be counterproductive.
