Re: Noise cotrol
An ethnic (Buddhist) Chinese in Indonesia asked the local mosque to turn down the volume of their call to prayer. Her comments, made in July 2016, triggered an anti-Chinese riot in which several Buddhist temples were burned. Yesterday she was sentenced to 18 months jail. Just for asking them to turn it down. Makes Cambodia seem pretty good.

Re: Noise cotrol
Mrs Stroppy and I visited the remote Temple on the Lake (Hindu) in the middle of Bali some time back and the Muslim community had just erected their loud speaker system (without consultation with the village elders, community etc) and started blaring their call to prayer many times a day. Kind of judders the nerves when you're there for the serenity of the remote temple on the lake. There were rumblings back then that such events would lead to violence, and it's no secret that Balinese deeply oppose the spread of Islam into "their" island. The Balinese are a different people group to the rest of Indonesia with a different heritage and religion, and about the only thing that will push them to actual action (being the lazy buggers they're proud to be) is religious takeover.armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 7:21 pm An ethnic (Buddhist) Chinese in Indonesia asked the local mosque to turn down the volume of their call to prayer.

Aw maaaaan. You get morning roosters? I'm so jealous. We get midnight roosters, 2am roosters, an enthusiastic 4.30am rooster, and THEN morning roosters.Barang chgout wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 9:14 pm Rooster! Ban the Roosters!

And to think,, once upon a time, they were cute cuddly baby chickens we all loved.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
