Swiss govt 'very concerned' over minaret ban

None

The Swiss foreign minister says the government is "very concerned" over a weekend referendum that declares the building of any new minarets in Switzerland illegal.

 

Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey said Tuesday that limitations on the coexistence of different cultures and religions 'also endangers our security.' She said provocations risk inflaming extremism. (AP)
