Nothing could be more different as opposed to a "Tower of Voices" "calling to prayer" inside a "Crescent of Embrace".
Calling to prayer was my term. They're are using the modern minaret "tower of voices" for essentially that purpose though. Except the prayer is not called for 5 times a day but 24/7.
The comment to me was a visual comparision with a picture of a minaret. Visually the tower more closely resembles the Washington Monument than the minaret.
