Turkey's top cleric criticizes Israeli bill on Islamic call to prayer
An Israeli bill calling for a ban on mosques using loudspeakers for the call to prayer has been condemned as a "rejection of Islam" by the head of Turkey's Religious Affairs Directorate (Diyanet).
Mehmet Görmez said on Nov. 16 that the proposal to impose noise limits on places of worship "amounts to a rejection of Islam and Muslims' presence in Jerusalem."
