how do people feel about this? Do people agree with me that you have to stop worrying about "tolerance" at some point?

Not as cut-and-dry as you might think - I'm actually sort of divided on this, but I'm an american. Our culture is McDonalds and Twilight. They actually have something to maintain.

In Switzerland, the minarets are actually just ornamental. In other European countries, these are viewed as havens for terroristic planning and what not. Considering the Islamic population is pretty well blended into the community there it's a confusing move for the Swiss.

Might be the right move somewhere else, but not there.

Well blended yes.. but far from living in harmony.

Sunday's referendum has forced the government to declare illegal the building of any new minarets, but Mrs Calmy-Rey said Muslims could still build new mosques and continue to worship in the country.

"Swiss Muslims are well integrated and will continue to attend the 200 mosques in the country," she said.

She said if an appeal against the referendum was lodged at the European Court of Human Rights, it would be up to the court to decide on its legality.



Hail Swiss democracy.
