Banning of building minarets shows how close minded 'some' of our fellow citizens are in the understanding of culture and religion. Sometimes a minority of close minded people takes over the whole country i.e., the Bush era that leaves the whole nation under heavy financial and ethical debt.

It's our common obligation to define a world where ethics rule and close mindedness cease to exist.
