There are few things the Swiss can agree on. But one thing that seems to happen is that they have banned minarets.
It really perplexes me and makes me feel uncomfortable.
If it were like a ban because Islam has a small presence in the country and they were trying to phase out religion as a thing I would not have as big a problem with it.
However I don't think the intentions were that progressive. Surely there are these people being all like well Islam is all bad and hurts women and all these things which I don't know about. That is bad.
But I see this as a symbol of Islamophobia, xenophobia, and intolerance. It seems like it is only bad. A building built by a group of people is banned. I feel like this is a violation of very different feelings I have about religion
