New Mosque in Calis

"Maybe these people also complain about church bells ringing over here too!  "

How many times do you see that in the papers, buy a house near a church (or a school or an airport) and then spend your life moaning trying to shut them up. Beats me!

Mark, can you be slightly more specific regarding the position of the land for the proposed mosque near the old upside-down bridge.  Is it over the bridge and straight on, or just over the bridge? Thanks   

As you go over the bridge straight on, they have built some new semi villas on the left, just past there is a piece of land used for car parking for the big yellow complex (not sure of the name of the complex) that is the preferred option the other was some land back from the Pelin Hotel

I can imagine the call to get abit bugish if living close by after a period of time. But one of the things that excites me about fethiye is the call going upto into the hills and looking down and hearing the sound makes it all overwhelming!

I agree, I love it when you can hear it echoing round the mountains

Ah yes but the difference here is that unlike church bells, it takes place every day 5 times a day starting as early as 4:30am ish USING LOUD SPEAKERS, which is why I'm sure that after a time living close to the sounds of the new mosque will soon dispel any romantacised views that some non-believers may have to the sound of the call to prayer.

Absobloodylutely --- and where I was accomadation for expats was controlled, and always near a Mosque!  During Ramadan the Imam would recite the Koran, starting small until at the end the whole thing cover to cover, over huge loudspeakers, lasted nearly 24 hours! Anyway, still bet it doesnt get built!   Funding can always be withdrawn however much it has been approved

Ok john we will set a time limit of 2 years if it is not built I will give £20 to a charity of my choice, if it is built you give £20

We have a flat in Selvi Evler. I can't see that the car park would be a big enough area for a mosque. Mark can you tell me where you found out this information only I would like to find out if it is fact or just rumour. Thanks
