Allow loud call for prayer (Adhan) in UK mosques
The adhan, or Islamic call to prayer, is an integral part of the Muslim faith. The number of people practicing the religion of Islam in the United Kingdom exceeds 3 million. Some neighborhood towns have more than 50% Muslim population.
I believe its the right time to experiment and allow highly muslim populated areas with a loud call for prayer atleast 3 times a day not during anti-social hours.
