The authorities in Cairo have come up with an excellent idea to rid the city of the cacophony of competing mosque loudspeakers there. They will be fitting all the mosques with receivers so that they will rebroadcast the call of a single muezzin from the state radio station. The muezzin will be one of a panel of 30 chosen for the harmoniousness of their voices.
There is, of course, opposition from the hundreds of muezzins who will be put out of business, but the alternative suggested would be to call the adhan as they used to do for nearly 1,400 years - by climbing the minarets and using their unaided voices.
Let's do the same here.
