What's the controversy about? The new constitutional ban on minarets obviously targets only a specific cultural group, and as Autumn Demon pointed out creates an exception to the principles of the other articles in the Swiss constitution. Sure the measure was legal because it was passed according to the law, that doesn't mean that it is obviously discriminatory and hypocritical, considering that cathedral towers and other tall structures are not also banned.
