I've had some questions asked, but this was true 20 & 30 years ago as
well. The only time it was slightly tense was when I was recording
calls to prayer in a Muslim country in 1984, & was asked by a group
of young men why I was doing that. This was long before the current
tensions between Islam & the West & I had merely to explain I was
interested in the cultural soundscape of Malaysia, same as taking
photos, but with a tape recorder. I have avoided any recording in
Muslim countries since 9/11, though.
