swissinfo.ch sought a response to Ulrich Schlüer’s arguments from the Islamic community in Langenthal, where they are awaiting planning permission to build a new minaret on their mosque. We asked their spokesman, Mutalip Karaademi, why it was so important to introduce this symbol of Islam. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch 06.10.2009)
