Well done the Swiss....Way to go

"Swiss voters have backed a ban on building minarets
at the country's mosques - in a shock move
the government warned could play into the hands of extremists. "
Nothing Extreme here

Saw something about this on the news last week. Decision hadn't been made at that point. Glad that the Swiss people have stood up to be counted in order to protect their country's heritage. I completely agree with their decision.
I dare say this may just provide the extremists with yet another excuse to vent their vile hatred of the West - but people cannot bow down to their threats and intimidation by not voting for the ban! Well done the Swiss!
