Minarets in Switzerland and McDonalds in Mecca

Corporate globalism at its finest hour.

Swiss Voters recently voted to ban the Construction of Minarets which greatly affect the skylines of many European Cities due to the massive growth of Muslim populations. The measure was supported by 57 percent of Swiss voters. The ban does not stop the construction of new Mosques but bans the construction of Minaret towers.

We are used to America values of freedom of religion were it would be a questionable infringement on the 1st Amendment right to freedom of religion but keep in mind that many European nations do not even have the same rights to freedom of speech that we have. Both Jewish and Muslim groups are outraged by Switzerland’s decision. However many Muslims nations do not allow for the construction of Church’s or Synagogues, and Israel also has restrictions on freedom of religion such as laws against proselytizing and intermarriage.Switzerland has a distinct culture that it has a right to preserve. Though Muslims living there may feel their religious rights are being infringed upon, due to the large scale of immigration Europeans are losing their culture and nations.
