Dome, Sweet Home?

So, since I want to ban domes and minarets on mosques here, what do I think of the ban on church towers and the like in places such as Saudi Arabia? I think that it is entirely appropriate. Unlike Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, the Levant or North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula has never been part of Christendom.

Armenians are an integral part of the society in Turkey, Assyrians and Chaldeans are an integral part of the society in Iraq, Armenians and Assyrians are an integral part of the society in Iran, and, among numerous other examples, the great Armenian Cathedral in Isfahan bespeaks that, although matters are a lot worse in NATO (and putatively EU) Turkey and in "liberated" Iraq. But nothing comparable can be said about the lands of the Gulf Arabs.

Freedom of worship is one thing, but the architectural manifestations of a fundamentally Christian economy, society, culture and polity may quite reasonably be defined as beyond the Pale where those things are profoundly Islamic. Likewise, the architectural manifestations of, in point of fact, a forcibly Islamised but previously Christian economy, society, culture and polity can and must be defined as beyond the Pale where those things remain profoundly, or at least fundamentally, Christian.
