A simple request for Hollywood

Dear Hollywood,

Whenever you show a Muslim country why is there always Athan (call to prayer) in the back ground? Either your characters always conveniently show up exactly at one of the 5 (AND ONLY 5!!) times we hear the call to prayer, or you think we the audience are stupid. Please give us the benefit of the doubt, we know that Iraq, Palestine, Egypt, and Morocco are Muslim countries. We don't hear the church bells every time you show Brazil, or Italy, Spain or other catholic countries. Please respect our intelligence, and stop showing the Muslim call to prayer as some billboard top 100 song, loved and always played by every Muslim mosque in every Muslim country.

Sincerely yours,

The Cineophant
