(Toronto Sun) Almost two years ago, Toronto’s Danforth Ave. made headlines across the world when one Faisal Hussain killed two people and wounded 13 others before committing suicide.
Well, Danforth Ave. is back in the news.
This time it’s the blaring of loudspeakers at the Madinah Mosque at Danforth and Donlands that is making the news. The mosque has obtained permission from the city to bend its noise pollution laws and allow the loudspeakers to make the “Allah O Akbar” call to prayers during the Islamic month of Ramzan (Ramadan).
This despite the fact the mosque is not hosting congregational prayers to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The news was announced by Coun. Paula Fletcher who tweeted: “Beautiful to hear this [Islamic call to prayer on loudspeakers] in our community.”
