Egyptian Mufti: Protest Swiss Minaret Ban

Egyptian Mufti Dr. Ali Gum'a has said that the Swiss referendum approval of a ban on minaret construction harms not only religious freedom but also the feelings of Muslims in Switzerland and throughout the world.

Gum'a called on Muslims residing in Switzerland to take legal steps to protest against the referendum results.
