Oxford bishop backs Islamic call to prayer
2008-01-12
Welcoming proposals from Oxford's Central Mosque to sound the call three times a day over East Oxford, the Rt Rev John Pritchard said those opposed to the plan should "relax" and "enjoy community diversity".
"Really. Just relax and enjoy it!"
Bishop Pritchard said: "I want to distance myself from what the Bishop of Rochester has said (that some parts of the country were now too dangerous for non-Muslims to enter). "There are no no-go areas in this country that we are aware of and in all parts of the country there are good interfaith relationships developing."
Maybe the historian Edward Gibbon was prophesying when he wrote in 1788:

Perhaps the interpretation of the Koran would now be taught in the schools of Oxford, and her pulpits might demonstrate to a circumcised people the sanctity and truth of the revelation of Mahomet.
