Summary/Abstract: The results of the referendum regarding the ban of the construction of new minarets in Switzerland have been announced. Approximately 60% of the population voted in favor of the ban, though the country has only three small minarets in total. One important point to underline is that the ban does not include the construction of new places of worship for Muslim society, but the construction of new minarets.
