Regina mosque faces threats after launching weekly amplified call to prayer

A downtown Regina mosque says it has received threats after beginning a weekly amplified Muslim call to prayer from its rooftop speaker.

Regina City Jamia Masjid began testing the broadcast of the adhan, or the Muslim call to prayer, over the noon hour on Friday. The call lasts about three minutes.

“We are not here to bother anybody,” M Anisur Rahaman, director of the mosque, said. “We are here to meet and greet and share the knowledge.”
