Professor of Islamic history affirms that minarets can be assertions of political power and supremacy

When the Swiss minaret ban first broke, I noted that minarets were often expressions of Islamic political dominance. Many dismissed this as an “Islamophobic” idea. But now it has been affirmed by Tarek Kahlaoui, assistant professor of Islamic art history and history at Rutgers University — no doubt a dyed-in-the-wool…
