The clear statement made by the Swiss on the subject of Islam and minarets is currently provoking a wide variety of reactions around the world.
In a referendum initiated by the right-wing populist parties SVP and EDU, 57% of Swiss voted for a ban on the construction of minarets.

But where does this result come from?
Where are the causes to be found? Is it a sign of intolerance or fear? Are we facing a new form of "religious warfare"? Have there been comparable cases in history and what can we learn from them?
Everyone is currently trying to interpret what moved the Swiss to their vote and what they want to convey to the world public.
Opponents of the ban on minarets point to freedom of religion, human rights and tolerance, while supporters turn to the Middle East and wonder what the Muslim world would think of churches and steeples in their countries.
The "problem with Islam" is undoubtedly multi-layered. Man\'s primal fears of the new, foreign, and unknown play a major role, as does the question of how to deal with the relatively young religious freedom, which apparently has not yet been fully clarified.
Tolerance, integration, freedom of religion - these are all words that almost everyone nods in the affirmative to today, but their interaction is not as easy as one would like.
Foreigners, people with a migration background or whatever you want to call all those who are usually simply labeled as
"the others"
are expected to integrate. But how far does integration have to go and where are its limits?
For most people today, integration means "accepting our culture and our values". But accepting our values, which is undoubtedly extremely important, does not mean adopting them 1 on 1 and giving up your own culture.
This is where mosques (with or without minarets) come into play. In mosques (or in general in places of worship) people of the same religion meet to practice them in their own way.
A community is formed that, in the worst case, isolates itself from the rest of society.
The question that now arises is "Is Islam, are mosques and minarets a hindrance to integration?".
Can one expect a person willing to integrate to give up their culture and their religion? Do you want a peaceful coexistence of all religions and cultures?
Or is it a mixture of all to the point of being unrecognizable? A social melting pot or a cultural mosaic?

Integration and freedom of religion, integration and tolerance are terms that overlap very strongly and that need their limits. Excessive "forced" integration endangers religious freedom,
while extreme religious freedom impedes integration and can open up cultural divides.
Islam is right on our doorstep today, more and more Muslims are coming to our western world and bringing their culture with them. But although Islam is already part of everyday life - because who doesn\'t meet people with Muslim roots every day? -
he is as alien to us as ever. The newspapers are full of mosques, minarets, headscarves, criminal asylum seekers and terrorists and conjure up a primal human fear, the fear of the stranger.
A religious war is being conjured up by radicals and fundamentalists on both sides and is being pushed by the modern media.
Even if the West now feels threatened by Islam and its representatives, we should be aware that a ban will not solve this problem.
For example,
when in 1617 the Catholic league began to close Protestant churches and even demolish some of them, this in no way solved the problem, on the contrary, a year later,
in 1618, the conflict broke out that we know today as the Thirty Years\' War and which was probably one of the most terrible wars in living memory.
The Swiss ban on minarets will of course not result in a religious war, but it still draws borders, opens up rifts and causes the most violent reactions from all over the world. Religious freedom is still a very young asset in our modern society and we must first learn how to deal with it. In order to assess whether the ban violates human rights, the question must first be clarified as to how far integration must go and how far it may go.
Where does religious freedom begin and where does it end? Where does the religious community end and where does the ghetto begin? How different can the stones in our social mosaic be to form a picture?
