No, what I am saying is, is this country banning all structures, or just Muslim structures?

Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Ethiopia, Turkey, Iraq. Even Hamas, in Gaza, threaten to execute any extremist attacking Christians. The Palestine Authority always attend the Christian service, at Bethlehem, on Christmas Day. Majority of the Cabinet is Muslim, but still attend the service.
Care me to add more examples?

After reading through this, many here are applying their non Swiss opinion to Switzerland. Why attack the Swiss for them wanting to keep their country Swiss?
Nobody is advocating that the growing Muslim population cannot worship. Just not change the look and feel of the endogenous country and populace.
This is simply a case IMO of the people choosing the direction their country is heading. Actually it is refreshing to see the people making choices for themselves even if it is a bit controversial.

I am sure FOX NEWS has done something like this in the past with Ron Paul campaign at one point (obvious loose analogy)

They said that the minarets -- of which Switzerland has just four -- were not architectural features with religious characteristics, but symbolised a "political-religious claim to power, which challenges fundamental rights."

This is prejudice, pure and simple. While two wrongs never make a right, I suppose the Swiss are free to make their country as intolerant as the most severe Muslim country. It is their prerogative.
