Muslims angry at Korean Band Jaurim

AKP STAFF

It appears that some Muslims are angry at the Korean Band Jaurim because at the beginning of one of their songs they put the sound of "Adhan / Azaan." Adhan / Azaan is supposedly the Islamic call to prayer, recited by the muezzin. Here was something that was sent to ALLKPOP by a reader named Mariam:

To the Manager the Band Jaurim Demanding For Apology My name is Mariam and I am from UAE and behalf of the whole Muslims in the WORLD I demand an apology from your Management Company and the band Jaurim. The reason for demanding apology While I was watching the MKFM award show before the band Jaurim start singing they put the sound of "Azan" on their song which is a religious call for Muslims to prepare for praying. Muslims worship the “Azan” and insulting the “Azan” by adding music to it is like insulting the call for pray in Islam, which lead to insult the Islam religion. You can hear the “Azan” here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAAQebpKk0k What I want from you is to announce an apology to Islam and Muslims for this insult, which I believe you will do, whatever it was intentional or unintentional, but it is better to be unintentional. Regards Mariam
To be honest I'm totally ignorant on this particular subject, but it seems to have offended Muslims. I'm pretty sure Jaurim had no idea that it would be offensive, they probably thought it sounded cool. I thought it sounded cool myself, it sounds like something from Diablo 2's Lut Gholein Act. But something that might be cool sounding to one culture can be offensive to others when used out of context. Anyways, let's see if Jaurim or their company apologizes.
