The Ban on Minarets is more than a violation of the right to freedom of religion. It is more than discrimination of a specific religious community. It puts up basic liberties as a subject for debate – basic liberties of a minority at that, which thus cease to be basic liberties. In addition, this debate does not only concern Muslims. When citizens are threatened to be stripped of basic liberties, this should be a call to attention for all those who are advocates of the European Project.
