World’s only democracy: the people were asked and the people said…
Everyone here is talking about the surprise result of Sunday’s vote on the question: should minarets be banned in Switzerland?
In the world’s only true democracy the politicians were upset to find that 57% of the population vot…ed: Yes.
It’s cultural and political, not religious, apparently. The religious and political leaders urged a No out of tolerance and respect but the people say they don’t like what they see in Islamic cultures and politics; oppression of women, lack of freedom of religion, Sharia law etc.
I think I understand. And I guess since He probably won’t be found in a minaret or a church steeple, the search for Jesus goes on. I think yesterday I saw signs of his handiwork all around the day-old pristine pistes, and even one of His paintings in a perfect sunset over the snow-covered Alps.
