OUR CULTURE? CANDY THE PURITY OF CULTURAL

Diversi dubbi mi hanno assalito dopo aver appreso la notizia del divieto alla costruzione di minareti decretato per via referendaria ed in seguito alla lettura dei commenti apparsi tra ieri ed oggi.
Innanzitutto, quando si fa appello alle istituzioni perché venga " garantita la continuità della propria cultura" [ Stefano Fontana ne “l’occidentale”] , mi chiedo cosa si intenda for "their culture". What are the boundaries of geography, history of a culture? coincide with national ones? continental? regional? What are we to make of the myriad influences from everywhere, that history and the case has hardened up to create what is now called "our culture"? Islam can not be part of it? has never been a member?
also make me very afraid the words of our Minister of the Interior, when he said "when the people decide we must take account of his will." What if we declare a referendum on the legitimacy of the state of Israel was promoted democracy in the Palestinian territories or in Lebanon? Maybe a referendum on the construction of synagogues in the republic of Iran. All referendum outcome almost obvious, but certainly not digestible by a Western democratic state. Would also be to satisfy?
also known as many Trai our citizens should approach this prohibition referendum, the verdict by the European court sull'affissione of crucifixes in classrooms, with the aim to reveal the hypocrisy of many secularists baffled by our own first. I do not understand how these neo-crusaders (literally) did not hear the screeching of strong contrast between a message that should be confined in the civil and religious institutions such as those of a purely secular public school. This contrast in the case of the crucifix, but not in Swiss one.
