Israel’s ban on the Muslim call to prayer in Jerusalem is the tip of the iceberg – Middle East Monitor
Something is in the air in Jerusalem and if Israel has its way it soon
won’t be; the Muslim call to prayer – the adhaan – is under threat. The
state which is built upon the ethnic cleansing of the majority of the
indigenous Palestinian people is inching its way towards banning the
call for prayer, which was probably first heard in Jerusalem in 637 AD.
That was the year in which Caliph Umar Ibn Al-Khattab travelled to
Palestine to accept its surrender from Patriach Sophronius, bringing a
six-month siege of the Holy City to a peaceful end.
