The right-wing populist Swiss People's Party (SVP) was succesfull in the plan to ban minaret. Actually it feels like Switzerland is divided in the middle, literally speaking there's a wall between the guys who voted for and the ones who voted against. In the facebook there are now two groups: One who is ashamed of the result and the other ones who think it's right.

Perhaps you know "Oliver's Travels"? So have a look and enjoy.

I'm shocked about it.
I couldn't understand well people against minaret..;_;
Why they oppose it? because of Air line and feature of Swiss?

(show host and show is so funny and clear, what show it is?)

Well... the political party who had the idea to ban it just sparked the fear of many Swiss inhabitants... about that we're going to lose our jobs, our wealth and so on. It's totally stupid but it worked... because of the airlines? haha... nah because mostly they're worried about muslims and so on. Hard to explain and I cannot understand it too...

The show? It's "The Dailyshow" with Jon Stewart... have a look at this website: http://www.thedailyshow.com/.
