Best Answer

Most Swiss aren't actually against minarets or the Islamic religion.

The vote was more like a lighting rod for serveral different kinds of problems.

Like being displeased with the current policy on foreigners which seems like a drive through, handing out Swiss passports and money for free. Another often stated argument was that as long as christians aren't allowed to build churches in Islamic countries, there is no need to further allow minarets.

Also be aware that Switzerland becomes more and more secular and most youger people are only christian on paper and don't practice the religion at all.
