Zing. What I was getting at was more along the lines of "it's less
troubling if the Swiss are just saying 'nobody can build anything that's
not little-Swiss-village in theme' instead of 'nobody's allowed to build
one particular building'". The Arc d'Triumphe and Empire State Building
would then be just as disallowed. But they're specifically targeting
minarets, and only minarets.
