Popular Initiative against minarets submitted to the Swiss government
The committee has submitted a popular initiative against minarets backed by slightly more than 114,000 citizens to the Swiss government. The Swiss government has already made clear that they will not support the initiative (...). Nevertheless the Swiss electorate will have to decide whether to accept or to reject the initiative within a few years.

A comment from Anonymous notes:
At :47 the video displays a pie chart showing that 'many' support the ban on minarets . . .nearly 50% vs. less than a third against. The visual is not clear enough to grab the actual stats but the trend is clear. To balance, the program provides ONE blogger complaining "demonstrates results Switzerland is withdrawing into itself and a rising Islam phobia in the country" . . .ONE blogger.
Then the video proceeds into demonstrating a growing numbers of videos on the web insisting Switzerland maintain it's primary Christian traditions.
Followed by a singular demonstration showing approximately a half block long parade of demonstrators against xenophobia . . .a banner blocking the view of the limited number of protestors.
The chart appears accurate based on the 'balance' of info shown. Go Switzerland!
