#2 Aw, the poor wittle Muslims . . . confused by mosques calling at different times . . .
Evidently using your own watch to determine the time is unIslamic. Maybe because it forces you to think for yourself. After all, if you have to think to set your watch alarm, Allah only knows what you'll start thinking next . . .

#4 "Everyday I receive complaints from people about the loudspeakers and when I ask them to make official complaints, they say they were afraid of being accused of being infidels or acting against religion," Zaqzouq said.

Which place is this, Cairo or Hamtramck? I'm sooooo confused!

"The opponents say this initiative is an American one, as if every step of reform should come through instructions from America," Zaqzouq said.

Patience, dear little Zaqzouq. This is only the beginning of "instructions from America." You had better get used to it.

So, is no one else here able to see Egypt's real intention behind synchronizing the azan? Confusion has nothing to do with it. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Imagine how much more simple it will be for the mutawwaâin to identify and punish those slackers who are summoned to prayer and do not respond with alacrity. Your local thought police in action.
