Atheist Take on Switzerland Ban of the Minarets

So Switzerland has voted to ban building on Minaret. Now, it's perfectly OK for a nation to decide what they would like to see in their cities, but for a country already criticized for its "Racist" immigration laws, passing such discriminatory laws are a step too far!

As it happens, I've never heard of churches or synagogues to be banned, why should the Mosque be any different? Islamo-phobia is reaching to a dangerous level in Europe. I see it everywhere: Its ok if certain countries wage an illegal war against uncivilized Arabs, but damn those terrorists, Because it's not Fascism if we do it.



Aggressive campaign against Minarets, or should I say Muslim presence in Eurpoe?
Sam Harris, a prominent Atheist philosopher, suggested that western Atheists should join in a pact with their christian neighbours for a war against Islamic terrorism. What Sam and the Swiss share, is ignoring the seculare muslims and Ex-Muslim Atheists and their influence on the Islamic world. The most valuable partner "Western Atheists" could have are "Eastern Atheists", but not when these guys are at war with our extrimist neighbours!

This is a clear case of discrimination in a continent so snuby about its human rights record, and for a "Nutral" country like Switzerland.

Just a question for the Swiss: "Have you heard about "United Nations Human Rights Charter"?

I found this equally disturbing and just plain sick.
