13/09/08 08:12 Filed in: Islam
An
article frm the New York Times in
2007 reveals the following:
"Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
HT: Martina!
