Netherlands: Wilders to propose referendum on minarets



Via Sunday's Zaman:
Dutch politician Geert Wilders said on Wednesday he wanted the Netherlands to hold a referendum on whether to ban minarets, following a similar move by Switzerland.

Wilders told parliament he would propose a law paving the way for a referendum on minarets, but did not give details. Switzerland banned the construction of new minarets in 2009, a move that drew international condemnation at the time.
