POTENTIAL SWISS MINARET BAN WOULD BE A GOOD SECOND STEP FOR EUROPE
From Reliapundit the Astute Blogger:
THE LARGEST CONSERVATIVE PARTY HAS BEEN TRYING TO BAN MINARETS FOR A FEW YEARS; IT'S FINALLY COMING TO A VOTE - IN A REFERENDUM - ON NOVEMBER 29TH.
BBC 2007:
A row is brewing over religious symbolism in Switzerland.
Members of the right-wing Swiss People's Party, currently the largest party in the Swiss parliament, have launched a campaign to have the building of minarets banned.
They claim the minaret is not necessary for worship, but is rather a symbol of Islamic law, and as such incompatible with Switzerland's legal system.
Signatures are now being collected to force a nationwide referendum on the issue which, under Switzerland's system of direct democracy, would be binding.
The move has shocked Switzerland's 350,000 Muslims, many of whom have been campaigning for decades for more recognition for their faith.
