Hahaha, this reminds me of OSS 117: Cairo Nest of Spies! Its a French movie but absolutely hilarious, you should check it out once you get back.

There's actually a scene where the main character shuts up a muezin (the prayer leaders who do all the hollering).

"The problem with Arabic is that it is difficult to read"

I tell you Mark, with your sense of humor you'll LOVE that movie!
