Guillaume Morand is not Muslim. But he built a minaret over his business in Lausanne to protest the Swiss referendum vote that banned minarets. He considers that his actions sends a message of peace to Switzerland's Muslims.
The Swiss government is waiting for someone to lay a complaint at the European Court of Human Rights before acting on it. It is expected that the court would rule that this ban violates freedom of religion.
