Fear the onion, Switzerland!

Swiss Muslims have held an "open mosque" event ahead of a vote proposed by the Swiss People's Party that would ban the building of minarets in Switzerland, on the basis of their being a 'symbol of Muslim political power.'

This is, of course, the same Swiss People's Party that produced this entirely unoffensive poster about how dark people are going to murder white people.

Oh, wait, that's about how immigrants are a problem. Or something.

Given that Switzerland is already the land of alienation, where multi-generation families of non-European origin continue to not be welcomed as citizens, the SVP's attempted move feels superfluous at best. The BBC analysis suggests the vote is unlikely to pass, but it's yet another move made by people who don't understand that they won't get what they want by following their current plan.
