Call-to-Prayer Loudspeaker System



Recently, the Afghan mayor of the Helmand Province thanked King Abdullah for sending a new call-to-prayer loud sound system. The last thing that the residents of the Helmand Province in Afghanistan need is more encouragement to attend mosques. They are already among the most religiously devout in South Asia; is a loud call-to-prayer sound system what they need? Or would it benefit the poverty stricken Afghans more to improve their access to good education, food, healthcare facilities, running water and electricity?
