This thread really livened up!

I had no idea letting Bosnians build minarets flew in face of common sense.

Bosnians can build all the minarets they want: in Bosnia.

I would argue that it would be difficult for you to speak intelligently on the motivations of a Swiss voter against the minarets.  Moreover, given the lack of other anti-slav laws, I think to claim racism is foolish.  DICK.

You can argue what ever you like, you'll still be a CHENEY.

Are you refering to Sir Thomas Cheney, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports in the 16th century?

God forbid that moderate Muslims move in.  Lets get some more of those crazies from Pakistan.

We are pleased.  The Swiss show the way; being welcoming is one thing - tolerating an invasion in the name of multiculturalism is another.

Going a bit overboard, aren't we?

One step at a time - I'm not.

I dunno.  The minaret thing doesn't seem important.  What is important is to deny permission for Muslim cultural centres (read:  terrorist recruitment centres), which Switzerland is doing a good job with.

Are you sure? Canada and the US allowed minarets and look what has become of us.

Yes Martims, you have won a great victory over Islam here today.

Because clearly Lac La Biche, Alberta is a terrorist recruitment centre.

[Neil]

Yes, it is.

I doubt the swiss are the only country that would vote for this sort of thing. I wonder if it would pass in the US--unfortunately I suspect it might.

I think the majority of Americans would have spiess's attitude- not against it in principle, but don't see a reason to bother implementing a ban now.

God, I'd hope that most people would be opposed to it on principle.  I'm not sure what other reason there would be to oppose it, other than that it violates the basic right to free exercise of religion.

[derspiess]

I don't think there are too many scenarios in which I would support a ban like this in the US.  I might support it as a zoning restriction in my township, but that's about it.
