As I mentioned - people's votes aren't always sane. That being said the Minaret thing was a non sensical outcome, yes, but it doesn't really change that much. Mosks are still allowed and the Muslim community didn't seem to bother too much. I'm convinced that if the initiative were to forbid mosks or any essential part of Muslim religion, the result would have been completely different.
