WTF? How would everybody feel if they'd banned steeples instead?
No different.
A good part of my family is Swiss and I have several close friends who are Swiss citizens. When it comes to religion the Swiss are equally disinterested. For all we know steeples could be next. Nevertheless, I was still stunned that they actually did it...didn't think they had anything like that in them.

+1There has been a declared Jihad on the western world. As you don't usually hear or see anyone in the East oppose these declared Jihads I really don't think it unwise for a country to say you guys aren't welcome hear until we can tell the good guys from the bad. Show us you are good and get rid of the bad ones. In many instances a mosque is just a gaudy gun vault.

I applaud the Swiss for this vote.
Reminds me of my hubby's home town taking a stand when illegals started taking over the city. They passed legislation that requires renters and homeowners to provide proof of legal status before they can rent or buy a home. As you can imagine, Hispanic Rights Groups were all over this crying unfair...but it's really not. If you aren't paying taxes and supporting the community you live in, get out. They've solved their illegals problem and the city is coming back.
In this case, the Swiss are taking preventative measures. With Obama in office and all this pressure to be politically correct, I think we're past the point of prevention but we aren't past the point of redemption. Problem is...will it happen?
