#103 unconstitutional2012-07-22 13:34The letter of demand issued by thr CoJ is unconstitutional in its very nature. It appears to be the implicit expectation of a few individuals that the azaan will be barred. I am directly dismayed that the coJ has resorted to engage the masjid without sound legal advice and/or engagement with the muslim commmunity before resorting to a written letter of demand. Such use of draconian powers must be opposed in the highest courts of the land. The coJ is without subtance and/or merit in law. As a south african and law abiding tax paying citizen I am appalled by the ignorance of the decision makers. |

#1042012-07-22 13:35I cannot believe that after 45 years allowing the muslims in this area to have the call for prayer all of a sudden there is a problem from city of johannesburg. It's wrong plain and simple WRONG on the city's behalf. What happened to FREEDOM OF RELIGION in the so called democratic republic of South Africa if need be muslims will march for their rights |

#1052012-07-22 13:36You know what as a muslim the caal to pray is important we have a right to freedom and it actuali angers me to think people would stoop so low to undermine another religion |

#1062012-07-22 13:36Religion is a big part of people in Riverlea so it will be a big mistake to take apart of it away from us I mean what is so wrong about letting our people know its time to get down on our knees so I think its a bad idea we need our religion to be the way it as been always. |

#1072012-07-22 13:41Its appalling to know that the athAan should be banned. This is definitely a no! And act that is against the Constitution of South africa |

#1092012-07-22 13:43Athaan is simply a call for prayer for the Muslim ethnicity/ religion of Islam. South Africa has stated freedom of religion, hence it is unfair to ban the athaan. Banning athaan would possibly be equivalent to banning church bells on a Sunday morning. Remember that South Africa is a democratic country, and banning the athaan would be an act against freedom of religion, meaning the country would be stupid enough to go against its own laws. |

#1102012-07-22 13:46I think this petition is a good way to try and get the attention of the public media. All we can do is hope and pray that this petition is successful in reaching enough people that this ludicrous law isn't passed, and we can exercise our right to freedom of religion. |

#1152012-07-22 14:04Those that has a problem with religion has a problem with God and should be taught the wonders of prayer and calling..Ignorant people will only do things like this.. |

#1172012-07-22 14:12GOD is the creator of mankind.The adhaan is the call to prayer,is a part of the muslim religion,and if one knew its meaning they would understand it is all praises of GOD Almighty. It is only due to peoples ignorance,and racism that they would want to ban the adhaan. |

#1182012-07-22 14:13I think the community should respect ones religion and its beliefs and grant them with permission in regards to using their sound systems etc as it is only during major fasting periods |

#1192012-07-22 14:24Is this why we have fought for democracy? To be targeted? With the White government we were allowed our mosques and adhaan and now after fighting for freedom, we are being deprived. |

#1232012-07-22 15:02This reflect poorly on South Africa and projects an intolerant image of the nation. In India places of worship, especially temples run loud speakers throughout the night during festivals with no complaints from any religious group or locals. |
