The Modern Imam, The Great Mosque of Sousse

A modern megaphone takes the place of an Imam (Islamic equivalent of a pastor) in this 9th century mosque, where it calls out to the muslims for prayer five times a day.

I really love your pictures. They give a real image of my country. I wanted to say that the Imam doesn't call people for the prayer, it's the job of the Muadhen or Muazzen. The Imam just leads the prayer.
