Ban on Minarets

[xkatz]

Well, the referendum in Switzerland on the banning of minarets passed. Here is an excerpt from Wikiepdia:

In a referendum on 29 November 2009, the amendment was approved by 57.5% of the voters.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minaret_controversy_in_Switzerland#cite_note-0Only four of the 26 Swiss cantons,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minaret_controversy_in_Switzerland#cite_note-1mostly in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, opposed the initiative.

How do you feel about this? Outraged or glad? Why?

Well, I can see them being a hazard to low-flying aircraft.

Indeed. At least those pesky church steeples have crosses on top to help pilots see them.

It makes me want to put up a minaret in my yard. Now, that would be revolting!
But I'll wait until they're banned here....no point offending people before they're ready.
