VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Steve|DATE|1375951230|CONTENT|The use of amplifiers and loudspeakers for the human voice used to be banned in Islam. But in a tremendous example of the eternal, unchanging nature of religious time, as explained by Murad this morning, this is no longer true. Muslim scholars studying the same texts as those who banned it in the first place, found that in fact it was OK to use amplifiers and loudspeakers for your voice. This was lucky, as it coincidentally coincided with the ubiquity of the mobile phone in modern life.

So never forget, even when your previously banned mobile phone goes off while preaching about unchanging eternity, Islam is completely unchanging and eternal. And it always will be (see previous sentence).|IP-ADDRESS|10.0.119.108, 217.36.222.79|MODERATIONFLAG|
