This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Allow Adhan (Islamic call to prayer) to be broadcasted 5x a day in London.
Britain praises itself as a secular, multicultural society.
In London, there is a large & well-integrated (and increasingly growing) Muslim community. This particular accomodation [of allowing the Adhan] will be profoundly beneficial and helpful for the growing Muslim population of London.
More details
Britain portrays itself (rightly so) as a secular, diverse nation. The British state is very tolerant, understanding, and accomodating towards its people, especially the immigrants.
Adhan would be helpful in London, namely as it will assist and notify Muslims in prayer times, and help them realise the seriousness of it. It is a particularly accomodating compensation for the increasing Muslim population of London.
