News Report - European press says Swiss ban send wrong signal

(here it is the news report I wrote)

Yesterday, the Swiss voted in favour of the banning of minarets in the country, supporting the proposal of the Swiss People's Party, which claims the minarets are a political and not religious symbol only. The ban, according to the SVP, should be a way of ending with the growth of the strengh of Sharia Law in Switzerland.
The result of the votes caused unrest among Europe, with the reaction of dislike stated on European press.
« This result shows that the Europeans are more and more intolerant », says one of the foreing journalists about the vote. « Now it is happening in Switzerland, but tomorrow it can be any other country».
Many say that, besides the damage to the relation between Switzerland and Islamic nation this decision can cause, it can also show how the mentality of the European people is developing to an extremist wing. The same journalist also says: « If we pay atention, we can see that discriminatory behaviour targeting immigrants or people with different beliefs for the majority is a sign of the growth of the mentality we testified in the 30's and 40's,with the birth of fascism. We cannot elude ourselves with the ilusion that prohibiting minarets is only a religious discrimination; it means that something deeper and more dangerous is happening ».
The discussion has began, starting with the denial of freedom of religion and moving to further arguments that leads Europe against the Swiss's resolution.
Meanwhile, an Islamic reaction is waited by the Swiss government and the entire Europe.
