Interesting you mention minarets - I've been in the land of minarets - ancient cities and remote areas - the land of minarets - going back into the thousands of years (well, the minarets don't go back too many thousands - but, far enough)
and, as opposed to the bonehead comment on my thinking being a western style of thinking from some boofhead - one finds very advance thinking - very advanced science and philosophies in the land of minarets ---------------- sure, it's built on religious base - but, so is ours - just a different base
