I would love to have a nearby mosque. The call to prayer is amongst my favourite "music", just absolutely love it.

I have a good friend who is a refugee and runs a successful Moroccan arts business...when I go visit his shop he always plays call to prayer CDs lol...he told me the proper name but I forget it.

It is called Adhan. You can download it from youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlLaUCAQlQQ

While I do think it is beautiful, the first call to prayer is a bit too early for me - from dawn until just before sunrise. I used to get woken up by my old neighbour who used to livestream it .

I can't find where it was though I'm sure that someone suggested that it may not fit with Bendigo's old heritage image.It isn't any issue in an industrial area

though this is in the Bendigo CBD and other buildings are either being build with a modern design and or older ones being given a face lift

that's funny ..if he states that writes what normal men dare not speak out loud ....it reads as though he doesn't class himself as normal ????

Yes, Iza, there are extremists in all religions. Gaynor does not speak for all Catholics. He speaks against what the Church teaches.

Who is he?

What is the purpose of spreading such material? The website asks for donations to support the cause... Why advertise it?

I was concerned...I will see if it can be removed.

Lobs I suppose the truth is out there .. ..for some it may be a political and/or religious based issue

No 1 I'd say it's predudice and ignorance .

Fair enough, Iza. On the one hand, I do think it is important to be aware of those who spread fear and intolerance (extremists) but on the other, I don't think we should give them the attention......

Same Meep.I don't like the sort of concept and the kind of message that they can do what they do to destroy others and

should be protected by being hidden while doing so...either

**meep** · ‎13-03-2014

he is not exactly hiding.....the website contains pic of him with wife and children and a short bio.....

It doesn't look as though his 'campaign' is going to make any difference as the people who will actually be affected (the residents) do not have any objections.

The comparision in attitudes to the Anti Islam Party and Andrew Bolt and co is interesting.

Personally I see those as extreme
