The Ban of Minaret Hardly Stirs Controversy in Muslim World
By Ulil Abshar Abdalla
I am completely aware that there is a sort of playing a double standard here. When non-Muslim hurts the Muslim’s religious freedom, Muslim leaders rush into using the language of right. When it come to Muslim mistreating religious minorities in Muslim lands, they shut their mouth. Isn’t a sheer hypocrisy? Yes, no doubt.

actually, we have to know what the non Muslim’s mean or refuse???
the non Muslim disagree with the culture not the Muslim???
In reality, there is no single minaret being banned in Indonesia, right? That’s probably the fact, I think, that explains why there is no controversy exploded here by anyone, resulting from the ban of minaret in Switzerland.
However, a minaret is not a symbol of religiousness, isn’t it? Do you regard yourself as being religious only by a presence of a minaret in the place where you are praying?
