Swiss ban minurets

I guess the Swiss are not as neutral as they would like the world to believe.

Quote:
GENEVA (AFP) – Swiss voters approved a ban on new minarets being built, with the success of the far-right initiative causing dismay among the Alpine country's tiny Muslim community.

The referendum to ban the towers or turrets attached on mosques from where Muslims are traditionally called to prayer was approved by 57.5 percent of voters who cast ballots and in 22 out of the country's 26 cantons.
