Anyways, apparently, the Swiss People's Party labeled minarets as symbols of rising Muslim political power that could one day transform Switzerland into an Islamic nation. To begin with they got 100,000 signatures to hold a referendum on the issue by using scare tactics. Then they posted banners all over Switzerland which showed minarets as missiles rising from the Swiss flag next to a fully veiled woman.

And get this, there are whole of 3 mosque with minarets on them in the whole Switzerland!! YEah, very scary. WHat in the hell is Europe coming to!

Tragically, this is the kind of over the top stupid anti islamic actions, that incite even stupider extremists to do something drastic. Oh well.

I'm not a religious person but I have no problem with people who are as long as they don't try to force it on me or anyone else. I really don't see what the problem is with Minarets and I don't see why anyone else would either
