An Isipingo Beach resident has claimed a small victory over a local madressa after a court ruling in his favour. PostKZN

“The Muslim religion insults non-Muslims, who currently have little choice but to endure being exposed to the call to prayer, which states that the Muslim prophet, Prophet Muhammad, is a messenger of God,” he said in court papers.

He said that he had addressed the call to prayer with the municipality in 2003, and with the South African Human Rights Commission in 2004. The matter was heard at the Durban High Court early this month. However, Judge J Mngadi reserved judgment. Last week, Judge Mngadi sent his judgment to all parties.
