UAE orders fatwa on vuvuzelas: report
An Islamic edict in the United Arab Emirates has decreed that vuvuzela trumpets that blare above 100 decibels are religiously forbidden, a local daily reported on Friday.
"If they are loud enough to damage hearing, vuvuzelas are haram," or forbidden, The National newspaper quoted the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments as saying in a fatwa, or religious edict.
"Importers and traders... must ensure that its power is not over 100 decibels so as to avoid damaging people's hearing," said the top fatwa authority in the United Arab Emirates, The National reported.
It said that the horns can be used only in stadiums if they pose no harm, the paper said.
The tuneless, deafening plastic vuvuzelas have become the defining sound of South Africa's World Cup, leaving television networks hunting for ways to filter out the constant blare.
Don't mosques use vuvuzelas for the call to prayer??
I'm not anti-islam for the record, but I think muslims take more exception to my humour than most...
I feel like Laughing the whole night......... Hahahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Uh yeah, and they are called the inventors of "Modern Democracy." Sure, you won't understand.
It's typical British humor. The rest of the world doesn't understand it. Including you.
I just think that sometimes his biased comments override the humor.
No, brit. You need a jet engine from Rolls Royce, in 3 meters distance it will be 140 dB and undress the female flight attendants.
Cool. Are those the speakers which at full blast can cause a sound wave poweful enough to dislodge clothes :O)
where it is right on the ear. Its on minaret and the sound levels drop when at distance and level change.
At least ES has never gone so far and said he wanted to kill a 'believer', Alexa2, unlike those true Muslims, who swear to God that they will kill the 'Unbelievers." I don't think they go too far, they have the right to be stupid.
I really like your jokes, but sometimes you take your anti Islamic rants too far don't you thing ;)
I can recommend the EON 15 system from JBL, brit. It produces 113 dB in 1 meter distance. (If you really want to enjoy it)
But, I already bought the 4 CD set entitled "Vuvuzelas tunes for a romantic evening" :O(
What about Cubes of ramada
Well we will ban them in 2022. We will have drivers honk their horns. Like they usually do without any reason.
Go Netherlands
If technique comes into play, ES, the mullahs can't find any procedures in the Qur'an. Thus, they are helpless, and feedback is pre-programmed.
Strange.
Mosques should not have speakers and if they do it should not be louder than a man's voice
Some exhaust systems of the sports cars also produce more than 100 dB. But, achi, it's so much fun.
hilerious...
I think it's a good idea to protect the citizens' ears :)
Just drink only the content, not the bottle of the budweiser.
