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.

When you arrive in an Islamic country, the sound of the call to prayer is evocative. Then, it starts to bloody get on your nerves. That and the aggressive, ranting sermons - speakers blasted into homes. In the U.K. church bells also get on my nerves, if inconsiderately applied.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
