SWITZERLAND-REFERENDUM-ISLAM-RELIGION,


(FLIES) This file photo taken on May 28, 2007 shows the minaret of the Mahmud Mosque in Zurich. Some 59 percent of Switzerland accepted a controversial call by the far-right to impose a blanket ban on the construction of minarets, Swiss public television reported, citing exit polls after the November 29, 2009 vote. The Swiss People's Party (SVP) -- Switzerland's biggest party -- had forced a referendum under Swiss regulations on the issue after collecting 100,000 signatures within 18 months from eligible voters. It claims that the turrets or towers attached to mosques from where followers are called to prayer symbolise a "political-religious claim to power." AFP PHOTO / FABRICE COFFRINI
