I was dismayed and disgusted to read that a magistrate has used his house and invited 50-odd people for prayers etc and used a loud speaker which disturbed the peace of his neighbours.

As a magistrate, he should have known better. He might not have broken the law but what about common sense? It should have prevailed.

Why Mr Hussain should invite 50 people to his house and use the speaker is beyond me.

There are several mosques in Blackburn area. Why did Mr Hussain not hold this event there? I sympathise with his neighbours.
