Swiss Minaret Ban

A 57.5% vote by Swiss citizens, rather close indeed, banned the Swiss Minaret.

Stirring both liberals and extremists, so it seems even in Christian Today.

Jahangir has erred by saying "... a clear discrimination towards the members of the Swiss Muslim community"

It is the inability to define the fine line between discriminating towards the members and discriminating towards their belief, that brings disturbance from both the liberals and the extremists, while the conservatives have to suffer.

It is interesting to note as of now:
"Only four minarets actually exist in Switzerland, in the cities of
Geneva and Frankfurt, while there are an estimated 200 mosques and
prayer rooms
throughout the country. Muslims account for about 4.5 per
cent
of Switzerland’s 7.6 million-large population
. "
