re: #372 Dark_Falcon

Here’s the story.

In Brief: The Swiss People’s Party pushed a referendum to ban the construction of minarets and it passed. The Swiss people made a foolish decision. The ban will do nothing to halt the growth of radical Islam in Switzerland, if anything it will accelerate it.

Yes, we know the story. There was a whole post on it here earlier today.

I’m sorry I brought it up here, even in jest.

But now that it’s on the table again, allow me to say that it may have been a foolish decision, but it was a democratic one.

I think many Europeans would envy the Swiss that opportunity. Instead they’re getting minarets shoved up their asses, will they, nill they, in the name of multiculturalism.

You decide which policy is likely to have worse consequences.
