I see the Swiss apparently voted 57% "nay" on this.

And the entire world seems to want to take a crap on them about it...  but 
it seems like one of the very few times Europeans have stood up to a demand 
from the Islamic populace in a European country, instead of rolling over.

But heck, last night's "Inside Story" on Al-Jazeera was a hoot! (+- 1700 to 
1800 GMT)

Could it be because the Islamic population is small compared to the native 
Swiss (they can thusly cause less trouble than in, for example, France) and 
the Swiss electorate took this into consideration, or could it be that the 
Swiss just refuse to realize which way the smoke is blowing in Europe?
