"Anti-Muslim sentiment"? Did the Swiss vote for "racism"? Or simply against Sharia? From [1] VOANews, with thanks to Nicolei:
Voters in Switzerland have rejected a proposed easing of the country's strict citizenship rules that would have made it easier for second- and third-generation immigrants to attain Swiss citizenship....The measures had been fought by the right-wing Swiss Peoples' Party. That party appealed to anti-Muslim sentiment among voters by suggesting the proposed rules would create an Islamic majority by mid-century.
