Banning minarets is not a rational or worthwhile response to fears about Islamic fundamentalism, nor is it compatible with secularism. And it is not the ‘European way’ either.

Except for the banning of scarves and religious symbols in public schools in Germany and France and discussions under way in Spain and Italy for similar bans, and Europe’s centuries of anti-Semitism, you be correct.
