So what does the Orange County Register have as its Above the fold story this morning?.....

Milestone for Muslims

A colorful, Andalusian-style minaret was hoisted up and slipped into place Tuesday morning at the Islamic Institute of Orange County in Anaheim.


The Orange County Register

A 38-foot minaret was hoisted Tuesday atop the newly completed Omar Al Farouk Mosque at the Islamic Institute of Orange County in Anaheim. It is covered in a 1,200-year-old pattern created from Moroccan tiles. Traditionally, minarets are used to call the faithful to prayer and are the most widely recognized symbol of an Islamic house of worship. About 170,000 Muslims live in Orange County, with many living in the Anaheim area. About 1,200 are part of the community around the IIOC.
