It's coming from a party... Legolas Send a noteboard - 02/12/2009 11:42:49 PM

I guess I missed the banning of minaret's aspect because it seems so absurd I assumed they just naturally meant the adhan, well, this is great news, I'm always overjoyed when civilized nations do something like this, it cheers up the nasty cynic in me.


whose last election campaign contained a poster of several white sheep standing inside a field with the colours of the Swiss flag, kicking a black sheep out of the field. Subtlety isn't their strong suit.
yes, they really put these up (text says "For more security")

It seems the Swiss ban on muslim minarets has passed rather quietly AgentOrange - 02/12/2009 04:15:22 PM 501 Views
This is surprising. Avendesora - 02/12/2009 04:19:03 PM 255 Views
Not here, it certainly hasn't. Legolas - 02/12/2009 04:34:55 PM 265 Views
Nor here. It's all over our news. *NM* Tim - 02/12/2009 10:01:57 PM 113 Views

I understand the first in Qatar was built in 2003. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:11:31 PM 219 Views
Yes, with no steeple and no bell! Vodalus - 03/12/2009 12:48:12 AM 242 Views
Ah yes, now that you mention it. Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:52:26 AM 229 Views
So you ban the steeples where church bells are not needed? Cannoli - 02/12/2009 07:19:16 PM 257 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 254 Views

Does anyone know the legal effect of this referendum? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:00:54 PM 241 Views
It's Switzerland. Their referendums are binding. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:07:52 PM 243 Views
Do the Swiss think they live in 5th-century BC Athens or something? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:11:29 PM 244 Views
Switzerland is odd in a great many ways. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:14:26 PM 249 Views
Actually, I think I meant the European Court of Human Rights, not the ECJ. Tim - 02/12/2009 10:16:38 PM 247 Views
Yeah, but does that one have any power? Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:17:54 PM 258 Views

I feel like I'm missing something in this debate Isaac - 02/12/2009 11:21:03 PM 214 Views
The latter. Legolas - 02/12/2009 11:22:49 PM 252 Views
Huh, that's bizarre Isaac - 02/12/2009 11:39:03 PM 227 Views

I'm hoping you mean great in the bad way. Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:05:30 AM 248 Views

Thank you, I guess? smaug - 03/12/2009 12:14:08 PM 234 Views
I don't really see a problem with it random thoughts - 02/12/2009 10:09:55 PM 237 Views
They pretty much have. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:16:46 PM 249 Views
that was kind of my thought LadyLorraine - 03/12/2009 12:17:23 AM 213 Views
I would say it is a bit reactionary but i guess it depends on your definition of intolerance random thoughts - 03/12/2009 03:39:48 PM 252 Views
Several points... Legolas - 03/12/2009 07:15:17 PM 244 Views
The Adhan can really get to you Isaac - 02/12/2009 11:14:47 PM 295 Views

I think it seems kind of a silly waste of government power... LadyLorraine - 03/12/2009 12:27:29 AM 231 Views
It's not the government that did it. *NM* Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:29:35 AM 115 Views
*re reads* Oh. I guess it's really power to the people over there LadyLorraine - 03/12/2009 12:35:59 AM 209 Views
Unfortunately, sometimes... *NM* smaug - 03/12/2009 12:15:29 PM 138 Views
