So I actually was going to write about the Swiss Santa, but the Daily Show has given me another subject to write about! I thought about writing about it earlier, but then didn’t because I thought I don’t want to bore you with Swiss politics. Anyway 
Setting the Scene:
Two Sundays ago the Swiss folks voted on a referendum on a prohibition of the building of any more minarets. Of course this was a huuuge question and it was much more then just about the islamic tower. There were some really aggressive poster showing minarets rising like bombs from the Swiss flag and so on. And sadly the referendum came through two Sundays ago. Most supporter of the referendum fear the “Islamization” of Switzerland and Europe. Of course this fear has some points because in the last 30 years the percent of Muslims in Switzerland has raised from 0.2% to almost 5% of Switzerland’s population. Some people are fearing kind of a population explosion of Muslims or what ever. Which I don’t think is legit, but I at least can understand their fear.
I was against such a referendum because it doesn’t do any good. And such a stop of building any mores minarets doesn’t solve any problems that we have with the Islam and Muslims immigrants.
Anyway, enough of that talking. In the last months I have heard enough of it and now, that it actually came through, I am also a little bit embarrassed of the result. But I still want to show you guys the Daily Show Clip about the minarets in Switzerland! It is hilarious!!! (At least for a Swiss 
) WATCH THE CLIP (FB: click “View Original Post”)
Ich stehe vor der Passport Controle im Flughafen in Zürich. Um mich herum meine Familie. Der Countown bis zum Start war schon längst gezündet und es ist klar, der Abschied steht kurz bevor. Ich überlege mir noch ob ich wohl ein Fensterplatz im Flugzeug haben werde und schon ist es so weit: Ich muss mich von meiner Familie verabschieden. Zuerst verabschiede ich mich von meiner Grossmutter und Tante Marta danach ist Jeruel an der Reihe. Nach Jeruel kommt Nathanael dran, der seine Tränen nicht mehr zurück halten kann. Als ich mich umdrehe sind meine Eltern schon heftig am Tränen vergiessen, zuerst umarme ich mein Vater und meine Mutter. Ich selbst vergiesse keine Tränen, was aber überhaupt nicht heisst, dass ich niemanden vermissen werde. Ich denke……
