...Swiss politics used to be so boring. Not anymore.
Boring as in functioning peacefully and operating reasonably smoothly compared to polarised politics elsewhere? God / spaghetti monster save us since Herr Blocher opened the box...

... And this ban does not hurt anybody at all. Please tell me if otherwise.


...While the subject matter is wrong and misguided, I do like how it sought to address the future. For that aspect of it, I'd give the Swiss voters high marks...
Ooh you almost baited me to post Off Topic. So I won't.

However, I find your Christian Charity to be way stronger than mine in finding the tiniest glimmer of positivity in this story: "it sought to address the future". Well, in a sledgehammer / nut fashion, you're right, but there were plenty who were making more considered dialogue before someone plugged in the jackhammer and stirred the pot of FEAR. I feel this was the point of the article.

...If the Weltwoche is correct, than what some these Imams said is clearly illegal, but its obviously pretty hard to prove and probably illegal to put tape recorders in Mosques.
Yeah, I don't really recall the Weltwoche banging on about <insert Large Swiss Bank CEO's name here> illegal conversations and a desire to put recording equipment in the Boardrooms of Paradeplatz Sorry, OT I know, but what's good for the goose, etc.
