| Will the minarets be eventually used for calling out the "faithfull"? If the answer to that is yes then I say NO to the minarates. I personally say NO to the minarets anyway as I have nothing but contempt for religion in general and Abrahamic faiths in particular (for their intolerant teachings towards faithless people, gays, other faiths, women, free speech,animal cruelty, lack of common sense...etc etc etc).
So any building that directly or indirectly symbolizes or takes part in brainwashing of kids...future generations is something I personally don't want to promote.
Btw I don't pay direct tax towards the church either. I made sure that my name was stuck off from the canton documents with regards to the religion I follow. Oh and I won't be bothered if ZERO new churches, mosques, temples...were built in the world 
I don't buy the SVP argument though. At the end of the day the Swiss will have the final say. | |

I completely agree, I am really not a fan of any kind of religion and seeing MORE religious buildings isn't really something I welcome. The old churches that we have in Switzerland, I can appreciate them as historic buildings that say something about the past, and value them for their architectual merit, but building very tall minarettes and any other kind of religious stuff, is not really something I'm ecstatic about. In the end, I guess it doesn't affect me at all, but I would be COMPLETELY AGAINST hearing the muezzin call to prayer in Switzerland, if that ever happened.
