on purely esthetic grounds one can object to minarets: they are ugly. they are also phallic symbols. stands to reason if you are a terminally patriarchal, macho bunch obsessed with acquiring more baby factories and dreaming of penetrating 72 eager virgins (and 28 boys) and possessing the stamina of 100 men to allow them to do so. (little do they know, *one* eager virgin is enough to exhaust a hundred men!)
pretty much every mohammedan building is a phallic symbol, except for the famous black cube.

New wave of Islamophobia in Europe?
Hasan Suroor

It would be foolish to conflate a few isolated incidents but to dismiss them as aberrations would be to deny the prejudice Muslims face across Europe. A common theme running through these books is that Europe's 53 million-strong Muslim population is a "demographic time-bomb" which needs to be defused immediately if the continent does not want to end up as "Eurabia."
