I am told that in Cairo the call to prayer rises like a tide, or an endless flock of brids rising from the ocean's edge. Certainly in Istanbul it is the most beautiful thing in a beautiful city when the call to prayer rings out. I am a secular westerner, no lover of organised religion, but the great religions are without doubt full of great things.

Edit-oops pipped by Prussian Iron. Is adhan somehow cognate with Indiana?
