hey, let me help narrow your search on the minaret. Kazakhstan is a Muslim country. Except for a very small amount, Msocow would not be littered with minarets. I don't recall seeing any there, but I did not get all over this city of 10 million people. I advise focus on Almaty.
EDITOR'S NOTE - I took my own advice. There are 3 mosques in Almaty, but none matches. I also applied it to Moscow, where there are no mosques. There are only 8 in all of Russia and none of those matches(except I don't know about the one with no picture).

there's a lot of Mosque's in India.........................

patlini, that was true before 1947 when the partition of the primarily Hindu parts into India and the primarily Islamic parts into Pakistan happened. Since then there are not very many mosques in India. I might have seen one or two in travelling between or in most of the major urban areas. Here is a list of what it purported to be all 16 mosques in India(a trivial number for a country of 1 billion population) including two mozques in Delhi(which don't match):
Jama Masjid India Delhi 1656
Mecca Masjid India Hyderabad 1694
Moti Masjid India Delhi 1660
Sidi Saiyyed mosque India Ahmedabad 1573
Mubarak Mosque India Qadian 1883
Hazratbal Shrine India Srinagar
Jama Masjid India Srinagar 1400
Cheraman Juma Masjid India Kodungallur 629 oldest mosque of India, second oldest Juma Masjid of the world.
Malik Dinar Mosque India Kodungalloor
Jama Masjid India Kalbadevi (Mumbai) 1802
Haji Ali Dargah India Worli (Mumbai) 1631
Babri Mosque India Ayodhya 1528 – destroyed on December, 6th 1992
Sir Syed Masjid India Aligarh
Masjid-ul-Jamiah India Tamilnadu
Adina Mosque India Firozabad (West Bengal) 1373
Cheraman Juma Masjid India Kerala 629

Chateau d If:
The minaret in the shot looks like it could have been built prior to 1947. Barring the extreme case that minarets were torn down after 1947 I'd say searching India is a good idea at this point
I checked Almaty myself with GE and netted nothing. :duno:
