I think it seems kind of a silly waste of government power... LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 03/12/2009 12:27:29 AM
I understand why they did it, and that it's not technically a human rights issue. It still comes off rather intolerant and it's hardly like Switzerland has some huge invading Muslim population. If they aren't even playing the Adhan, then I don't see the point to banning them.

It's not a big deal; it seems like a waste of breath to me.

It seems the Swiss ban on muslim minarets has passed rather quietly AgentOrange - 02/12/2009 04:15:22 PM 606 Views
This is surprising. Avendesora - 02/12/2009 04:19:03 PM 347 Views

I understand the first in Qatar was built in 2003. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:11:31 PM 315 Views
Yes, with no steeple and no bell! Vodalus - 03/12/2009 12:48:12 AM 334 Views
Ah yes, now that you mention it. Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:52:26 AM 324 Views
So you ban the steeples where church bells are not needed? Cannoli - 02/12/2009 07:19:16 PM 354 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 349 Views

Does anyone know the legal effect of this referendum? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:00:54 PM 334 Views
It's Switzerland. Their referendums are binding. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:07:52 PM 343 Views
Do the Swiss think they live in 5th-century BC Athens or something? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:11:29 PM 335 Views
Switzerland is odd in a great many ways. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:14:26 PM 345 Views
Actually, I think I meant the European Court of Human Rights, not the ECJ. Tim - 02/12/2009 10:16:38 PM 339 Views
Yeah, but does that one have any power? Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:17:54 PM 348 Views

I don't really see a problem with it random thoughts - 02/12/2009 10:09:55 PM 327 Views
They pretty much have. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:16:46 PM 342 Views
that was kind of my thought LadyLorraine - 03/12/2009 12:17:23 AM 304 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 351 Views
Several points... Legolas - 03/12/2009 07:15:17 PM 341 Views
