You deliberately fail to consider the *symbological* meaning of minarets,
especially considering the teachings of islam with regard to non-islamic
people and countries.
You don't have to hear what muslim religious leaders and scholars are
teaching from "racists" and "xenophobes". You can hear it from themselves.
And it's not something which they are exclusively teaching in their own
home countries, far from here. It's something which they are teaching in
mosques right here, in Europe. Just watch that documentary about people
who actually inflitrated British mosques to see what they were preaching
there.
But of course it's so comforting to ignore such things.

You, my friend, are a victim of multiculturalist propaganda. You have
swallowed hook, line and sinker.
The reason why many Europeans dislike islamic cultures is not xenophobia.
If it was xenophobia, they would dislike other foreign cultures with the
same fervor. Most of these people who dislike islamic cultures have absolutely
no problems with, for example, Chinese, Japanese, Indians or South Americans,
even though their cultures are religions are often radically different from
the European ones.
No, the reason why islamic cultures are disliked is because of how those
cultures view basic human rights, such as their attitude towards women and
sexual minorities (such as homosexuals), their attitude towards other
religions (see, for example, how many religions are allowed to be publicly
preached in the core islamic countries of middle east), and their attitude
towards the basic concept of constitutional freedom, such as depicted here:

These Europeans also dislike the fact that so many muslims are offered a
place to live and work, yet these muslim start making obnoxious and
ridiculous demands instead of respecting their hosting society and culture.
For example Chinese, Japanese, Indian and South American people living
in Europe do not behave in that way nor exhibit such low views on basic
human rights in such a grand scale, which is why they are accepted. In
other words, those people respect others and know how to behave and be
a productive part of the society they are living in.
Blaming the dislike of muslims to "xenophobia" is trying to obscure the
real problems by replacing them with invented ones.
