Maybe this is a better way to put it. I'm not outraged I find all of that silly. I was just pointing out the wording of his tweet made what I thought was a factually false claim and I pointed it out. Don't care about the rest I'm being nerdy.

It may be false from your perspective. Not from mine or from his. I’ve lived in Islamic countries where the incessant sound of the adhan blared from multiple speakers just a block apart before the sun rose every morning. Aggressive is the kindest adjective he could have used.

I'm not arguing about how he finds or feels about it, I don't care. It was just his wording made it sound like Allahu Akbar was aggressive, in the context of the adhan it isn't. Some random guy yelling it in a busy place cause for alarm, at the start of adhan not so much.

Yes it is. Having it blaring at you five times per day IS aggressive. It’s meant to be aggressive. It’s meant to pull you away from whatever you’re doing to go pray so that you don’t burn for eternity. It’s not meant to sound nice. It’s meant to grab your attention aggressively.
