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.

Sabiha Khan, communications director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Southern California, photographs the minaret at the Islamic Institute of Orange County, in Anaheim, as it is lifted into place Tuesday morning.
Hussan Ayloush of Anaheim photographs the copper crescent moon spire that eventually will be placed atop the minaret.
Wait until they start blasting that god-awful call to prayer.
Nothing like the sweet music of church bells.
Too bad it's not a millstone.
Truly a stench in the ear.

How wonderful for all those suicide bombers - they now have a place to call home. The islamic State of Orange County begins it new reign of Terror here in the good old USA.
Allah must be well pleased../s
More recently, they have been used as sighting targets for Crusader aircraft dropping smart bombs to blow terrorists, using mosques as staging areas for attacks, to BLOODY HELL.
A salute to the god of the moon... YIKES
Well I'll be Omar Al Farouk Yu.
A moderate muslim is one who only wants to kill Jews.
And people wonder why the ragheads are always so pissed off. If I had to listen to that crap, which sounds like thier camels had a stranglehold on thier privates, I'd be awnry too. In fact, if the non-muslim folks that live in that area are forced to have to listen to that........sorry, I couldn't. I'd have to find or have created some kinda noise ordinance that'd keep that from happening.
"A salute to the god of the moon... YIKES"
Interesting how the 1 billion plus Muslim's don't have a clue to how their cult started in the Kaba....casting out the 349 other gods, and just keeping the one called allah, that was derived thousands of years before from the Sin moon god worship. [ The Assyrians, Babylonians, and the Akkadians took the word Suen and transformed it into the word Sin as their favorite name for the Moon-god. As Prof. Potts pointed out, "Sin is a name essentially Sumerian in origin which had been borrowed by the Semites.]
Well, we knew they were living in SIN!
"Well, we knew they were living in SIN!"
Or
Well, we knew they were living in suen.
Incidentally, the article forgot the second reason the tower is being erected is for the snipers to make their last stand.
Allah must be well pleased../s
I noted you're in Texas. At least our governor didn't fly in at tax payers expense, for the opening ceremonies.

Officials lay bricks in symbolic start for Muslim center
Dallas Morning News June 14, 2005 LINDA STEWART BALL
PLANO – The Ismaili Muslim community announced Tuesday that it is building a $6.5 million worship and community center in Plano, where it has found a warm welcome.
Gov. Rick Perry flew in to lay the first ceremonial brick for the center's foundation.
You mean they won't be up there crying out for the ex-communication of Bin Laden all day long?
