This BBC News article caught my eye this evening.
Switzerland's biggest city, Zurich, has allowed the use of a controversial poster which urges a ban on the building of minarets in the country.
The poster shows a woman dressed in a burka in front of black minarets standing on a Swiss flag.
Evidently, there is considerable controversy about these slim and beautiful towers in Switzerland. Too symbolic of Islam for some, it seems, and threatening too – the poster seems to equate the minaret with a missile.
Absolutely absurd, yet despite (or maybe because of) the fact that about one in four people worldwide is a Muslim, such xenophobic sentiment has traction with some.
Well, I hope that Switzerland gets over its minaret problem and builds as many as it can. Here's a lovely example from Helena, Montana. Not attached to mosque, true, but part of the delightful Civic Center. 
I am sorry to say that there are people of similar opinions here in Denmark, too. People that would like to ban the building of mosques.I hope people like that won't have their way.

"hope that Switzerland gets over its minaret problem"Taken out of context, LMAO. Minaret problem? That's what they have to worry about is a minaret problem?Next Month: France's overwhelming Gothic cathedral problem.
Or England's coastal lighthouse problem. Yes, this could become a worldwide tower crisis.
🙂 Leazz!
