	And this has what to to do with minarets (and with Switzerland?). Sure, 
the Swiss doesn't want those kinds of folks (who does?), but does anyone 
think those guys are going to say, "Oh damn! Now that minarets are 
banned, we can't say these things in Switzerland"?

	Yes, but I want people to say it outright, and ultimately pass laws 
that don't try to go around the issue. Passing it off as a question of
