Re: Mosques with or without Minarette?

I dont think this issue is about religion. I think it's just intolerence of people's differences. Intergration is a two way street if the Swiss law denies people self-expression and associates it with negative factors, then people will proberly react in a negative manner.
Exactly. Often the view of many Swiss towards integration is that people must become like them - which if it really happened wouldn't make them accepted either. Ironically the SVP calls on the Zurich mosque to pull down the minaret as a "gesture to show that they are willing to integrate". If that's what integration means then I'll have no part in it
