"That spiraling minaret, called the Malawiya, is possibly the most light-hearted monument in Iraq. It has a carnival look about it. It reminds me of those towers in old-fashioned fairgrounds, barley-sugar-shaped structures called helter-skelters down which one slid, gleefully shrieking, on a mat, accelerating with every twist, to the leveling-out part at the bottom. The Samarra minaret, a French traveler noted in 1638, is 'made twirling like a Periwinkle'. And so it is."
- Young, Gavin. 1980.
