Shot of screen with the CN Tower and Rogers Center
looming over Toronto, clearly looking like a mosque.
From the Arabic program Omniyat TV.
The past Eid Al Fitr Festival was celebrated in the Roger's Centre.
I had perviously noted that the Roger's Center and the CN Tower have been used to look like a mosque and a minaret.
Well, here is the progression of that intuition (observations?).
The huge sports complex interior was fittingly used to celebrate one of the most important Muslim festivals.
Of course, people will say that the center is often used for large community, multicultural, events. But, that's besides the point. One by one, we are getting used to our buildings take on different functions. And it is in the interest of the Muslims that this is the case, since they can camouflage their increased presence in the West as part of the multicultural reality.
