A minaret is not a 'fundamental right'. How could it be so ? Perhaps it is a symbol, but that is a different matter.

It is interesting to note that in the referendum many feminist campaigned for a yes vote on the grounds that Islam is repressive to women and minarets are a symbol of that repression. As the Turkish Prime Minister noted 'minarets are the bayonets of Islam'. Interesting point.
