  1. Yes, and bring in the ear plugs.

    Some may see a “pissing contest” among religions, with each “layer” of power coming in with “his” bigger mosque or church…

    We now have about 8 mosques and 7 Churches crammed in a space no bigger than my (tiny) home village. In addition, each have their own prayer times; the mosques agree neither on the timing of the prayer calls, nor on the content/extent of the calls. The churches have different holidays and masses. And none appear to realize their won decibel levels.

    So good luck if you go for a walk-through, and then decide to sip a quiet coffee during the day. And it set to get worse; another mosque is set for construction/upgrade in the middle of the Beirt Souks, and another church is set for (re)construction as well.

  3. Ageel,

    You’re always welcome. Let me know whenever you pass by Beirut and take more of them,

    Jeha,

    I got to give it to. “Mosque”, “Church” and “Pissing contests” don’t often come together in the same sentence in Lebanon :)
