You do know how often the call to prayer is done daily right???
At least five times a day.
It's 5 times a day. And church bells ring on the hour every hour from what I've heard. I have no inclination to ban any religion, not even christianity. I'm not sure why some who are against government intervention seem to be filled w/glee w/the idea of this. Surely if it were your own religion you would find fault w/this.

The referendum was to amend the Swiss Constitution to explicitly state the construction of minarets will be banned. And it is by no means a done deal as a majority of the Cantons need to approve it too. But as a gauge of Swiss popular sentiment it's a good indicator that at least one European country is aware of the Islamic invasion of their country and wants it stopped.
I still dont see where this equate to a "Bravo" comment being appropriate. I could compare this to back alley abortions. Lets just hide these minarets, maybe the religion will just disappear..
Well you're right, it's not banning a religion. I guess I should rephrase that. Perhaps banning a significant part of their religion? I just think that christians in this country (even though this has nothing to do w/our country as of this point) would be pretty perturbed if there were a ban on church bells here, don't you think? Regardless, this is about Switzerland, not here so I don't want to go too off topic.
France has about 10% of it's population,and suffers for it.
Actually most European nations suffer the effects of having Muslims in their population.
Sorry if you having lived there doesn't have me awestruck.
