Ban of minarets in Swiss

Reader comment on item: The Swiss Ban on Minarets: A Possible Turning Point
in response to reader comment: A comment from Germany on the on the minaret ban in Switzerland

Submitted by Seyan Hameed (India), Dec 14, 2009 at 10:59

By banning the minarets there are chances for more and more people being attracted by Islam. We cannot stop a marriage by hiding the comb. Islam withstood, withstands and will withstand, from its so many onslaughts like this. No one can take away the faith from one's heart.
