The latter. Legolas Send a noteboard - 02/12/2009 11:22:49 PM
Are they banning signing the Adhan over the loudspeaker or are they actually banning the construction of minarets?

As far as my information goes, none of the existing minarets had an adhan broadcast. In fact, I'm not aware of any European mosque (okay, leaving out the European countries with historically Muslim populations...) that broadcasts an adhan, though there might be some.

It seems the Swiss ban on muslim minarets has passed rather quietly AgentOrange - 02/12/2009 04:15:22 PM 573 Views
This is surprising. Avendesora - 02/12/2009 04:19:03 PM 316 Views
Not here, it certainly hasn't. Legolas - 02/12/2009 04:34:55 PM 320 Views
Nor here. It's all over our news. *NM* Tim - 02/12/2009 10:01:57 PM 137 Views

I understand the first in Qatar was built in 2003. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:11:31 PM 285 Views
Yes, with no steeple and no bell! Vodalus - 03/12/2009 12:48:12 AM 300 Views
Ah yes, now that you mention it. Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:52:26 AM 291 Views
So you ban the steeples where church bells are not needed? Cannoli - 02/12/2009 07:19:16 PM 322 Views
I would take an equal line against steeples where there is no bell/or no bell allowed to be used. The Shrike - 02/12/2009 08:29:21 PM 316 Views

Does anyone know the legal effect of this referendum? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:00:54 PM 300 Views
It's Switzerland. Their referendums are binding. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:07:52 PM 310 Views
Do the Swiss think they live in 5th-century BC Athens or something? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:11:29 PM 305 Views
Switzerland is odd in a great many ways. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:14:26 PM 311 Views
Actually, I think I meant the European Court of Human Rights, not the ECJ. Tim - 02/12/2009 10:16:38 PM 308 Views
Yeah, but does that one have any power? Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:17:54 PM 320 Views

I don't really see a problem with it random thoughts - 02/12/2009 10:09:55 PM 293 Views
They pretty much have. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:16:46 PM 311 Views
that was kind of my thought LadyLorraine - 03/12/2009 12:17:23 AM 273 Views
I would say it is a bit reactionary but i guess it depends on your definition of intolerance random thoughts - 03/12/2009 03:39:48 PM 317 Views

I think it seems kind of a silly waste of government power... LadyLorraine - 03/12/2009 12:27:29 AM 292 Views
It's not the government that did it. *NM* Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:29:35 AM 141 Views
*re reads* Oh. I guess it's really power to the people over there LadyLorraine - 03/12/2009 12:35:59 AM 265 Views
