Yes, with no steeple and no bell! Vodalus Send a noteboard - 03/12/2009 12:48:12 AM
I'm not sure about the rest of the Gulf States, nor about Iran. Sudan might not allow them in the northern part of the country, but then again it might, not sure.


Iran has churches, though they closed down some of the "evangelical" ones because members were allegedly trying to gain converts. Interestingly, five out of 270 seats in the majlis are reserved for officially recognized religious minorities--three for Christians and one each for Jews and Zoroastrians.
南無阿弥陀仏!

It seems the Swiss ban on muslim minarets has passed rather quietly AgentOrange - 02/12/2009 04:15:22 PM 639 Views
This is surprising. Avendesora - 02/12/2009 04:19:03 PM 377 Views
Not here, it certainly hasn't. Legolas - 02/12/2009 04:34:55 PM 380 Views

Ah yes, now that you mention it. Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:52:26 AM 345 Views
So you ban the steeples where church bells are not needed? Cannoli - 02/12/2009 07:19:16 PM 380 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 375 Views

Does anyone know the legal effect of this referendum? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:00:54 PM 357 Views
It's Switzerland. Their referendums are binding. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:07:52 PM 376 Views
Do the Swiss think they live in 5th-century BC Athens or something? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:11:29 PM 357 Views
Switzerland is odd in a great many ways. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:14:26 PM 371 Views
Actually, I think I meant the European Court of Human Rights, not the ECJ. Tim - 02/12/2009 10:16:38 PM 366 Views
Yeah, but does that one have any power? Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:17:54 PM 371 Views

I don't really see a problem with it random thoughts - 02/12/2009 10:09:55 PM 350 Views

that was kind of my thought LadyLorraine - 03/12/2009 12:17:23 AM 328 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 375 Views
Several points... Legolas - 03/12/2009 07:15:17 PM 368 Views

I think it seems kind of a silly waste of government power... LadyLorraine - 03/12/2009 12:27:29 AM 350 Views
It's not the government that did it. *NM* Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:29:35 AM 164 Views
*re reads* Oh. I guess it's really power to the people over there LadyLorraine - 03/12/2009 12:35:59 AM 320 Views
