Please note it was made after addressing the silly argument people make that in Muslim nations they don't allow Christian churches.


Aside from Saudi Arabia, are there any Muslim-majority countries which ban the building of churches?

It seems the Swiss ban on muslim minarets has passed rather quietly AgentOrange - 02/12/2009 04:15:22 PM 519 Views
This is surprising. Avendesora - 02/12/2009 04:19:03 PM 269 Views

Yes, with no steeple and no bell! Vodalus - 03/12/2009 12:48:12 AM 254 Views
Ah yes, now that you mention it. Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:52:26 AM 242 Views
So you ban the steeples where church bells are not needed? Cannoli - 02/12/2009 07:19:16 PM 270 Views
I would take an equal line against steeples where there is no bell/or no bell allowed to be used. The Shrike - 02/12/2009 08:29:21 PM 269 Views

Does anyone know the legal effect of this referendum? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:00:54 PM 256 Views
It's Switzerland. Their referendums are binding. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:07:52 PM 263 Views
Do the Swiss think they live in 5th-century BC Athens or something? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:11:29 PM 258 Views
Switzerland is odd in a great many ways. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:14:26 PM 261 Views
Actually, I think I meant the European Court of Human Rights, not the ECJ. Tim - 02/12/2009 10:16:38 PM 260 Views
Yeah, but does that one have any power? Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:17:54 PM 275 Views

It's not the government that did it. *NM* Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:29:35 AM 119 Views
