City calls for tolerance after noise complaint at District Six mosque

A debate on the importance of upholding and respecting all religions has been sparked on social media after the city of Cape Town received a noise complaint about the historic Muir Street Mosque.,

The city of Cape Town has called on residents to practice tolerance and educate themselves, adding that while it is compelled to investigate the matter, the process will have to wait until next month in order to observe the holy month of Ramadaan in May. Scores of people, many of whom live in the city, have since taken to Twitter to convey messages of support to the Muslim community.

I am near the Gorge St mosque - also very historic mosque. Love that pre-dawn call to prayer. To me it is the sound of Cape Town. It is all our heritage.Muir Street Mosque has been calling the faithful to prayer for 100 years. It stands as a symbol of the multi-culturalism & non-racialism that apartheid sought to disavow. Cape Town has a proud legacy of religious tolerance and interfaith cooperation. Let’s give tolerance a chanceI’ll sign too.
