I’m watching a nature show in my hotel room right now (it’s 50% “I survived being eaten by a hippo!” and 50% about how hippos are closely related to whales, even down to the singing). A few minutes ago the show was abruptly interrupted by a Ken Burns-style pan across a photo of a minaret while a disembodied voice called to prayer.
I guess once you’ve got TV towers you don’t need actual minarets.
