Damn skippy. From where I’m standing, it all looks like the same thing to me.

Jewish groups oppose push to ban minarets in Switzerland


GENEVA (AFP)—-Switzerland’s biggest Jewish groups said Wednesday that a far-right push to ban the construction of minarets here was a “threat” to religious harmony and hindered the integration of Muslims.
“The referendum infringes religious freedom, a concept enshrined in the constitution,” said the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities and the Platform of Liberal Jews in Switzerland in a statement.

It “also poses a threat to peaceful relations between the religions and inhibits the integration endeavours of Muslims in Switzerland,” they added.
