Politics One More Reason Referendums Suck: The Swiss Vote to Ban Minarets
Posted by Jonny Diamond on Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 8:58 AM
Muslims make up about 6% of Switzerland's 7.5 million people... Fewer than 13% practice their religion, the government says, and Swiss mosques do not broadcast the call to prayer outside their buildings.
What's 13% of 6% of 7.5 million? A TERRIFYING BURGEONING CALIPHATE IN OUR MIDST, that's what. Fuck you people of Switzerland! But mainly, fuck you plebiscites, referendums and all other forms of direct democracy! Because what the hell is the point of civilization if you can't protect the rights of the minority against the whims of the majority?
