Split on this ones.

Minarets are symbols of power and demarcation of land that belongs to the dar-al-Islam.

The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul got its minarets as a sign of Islamic conquest.

The current Turkish prime minister likened the towers to bayonets for the same reason.

On the other hand, I hate the idea of targeting one religion, however much some elements of Islam are really bringing it on themselves and their co-religionists.
