Ein schwarzer Tag für die Schweiz.
Das Thema wurde umgehend und ausgiebig in Digg kommentiert.
Kostproben:
“The problem with direct democracy is that it inevitably bashes unpopular minorities. Their rights can be voted away by popular prejudice and whim.
The institution of slavery in the United States was not abolished by popular vote.
It takes the rule of law to protect the rights of all citizens.
It takes a REPUBLIC.” (VOLLTREFFER!)
“Yes, every democracy should lower it self to the standards of theocratic dictatorships. That will help freedom in the world!”
“Ban the fair, unimposing use of private property. Next, ban modes of thought.”
“I have no problem with the banning of minarets but only if they also ban all other religious structures. I hate all religions, I don’t descriminate.” (LOL)
“Doesn’t that just justify how non-Muslims are treated in Muslim countries? Isn’t basically saying, “Yeah, that’s totally cool. Heck, now we’re discriminating, too!”
“I think well made minarets are beautiful. The Taj Mahal has 4 minarets. This is the kind of religious intolerance that, when extrapolated, fuels extremism.”
“It matters because it would make us giant hypocrites. If we say “Hey, we don’t like how these people are discriminated in your country” then go around and discriminate against them… Even if it isn’t used as a justification by others (though, it always is), it would say something about us.”

“But I still believe that at its core, Islam is a vague set of guidelines and nothing more. Minarets are a cultural extension from the Arabs. So really. banning minarets is just showing an intolerance of Arab architecture.”
