Weekend task

This weekend will be a big one in Geneva. They will have a big voting time.

As this is a very democratic country (?) they will vote on constructing (or finishing the construction) of a train that would link part of the city that have quite long traffic jams and we need some buses to get there. Also they will vote if Switzerland should keep exporting 'war weapons'. I think since the two big wars they are big producers!

Also, they will vote, and this will be one of the most important ones, if they should ban construction of more Minarets within the country borders an idea launched by right-wing political Swiss groups. WHy is this topic interesting? two reasons:

1. the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities and the Platform of Liberal Jews in Switzerland said this law would infringe religious freedom and inhibits the integration of Muslims in Switzerland and also that banning them is no solution serving to create a sense of alienation and discrimination for them here. This opinion is quite historical since local Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders have also joined forces to reject a ban on minarets. Unfortunately, the Minaret-mosque in Grand-Saconnex close to the Airport was attacked and some windows got broken...

2. In Switzerland, like in other countries around here, voting is not obligatory, in Brazil it is! And here you can vote by post! Can you imagine what some countries could do with this? I can imagine what would happen in Brazil.

I think that banning or not their construction won't stop the racism problem. I think people should get better informed and learn more other cultures!
