Is this really that much of a surprise, though? Bigotry always tends to be a pretty all-encompassing attitude in my - limited - experience.
The report does look interesting - I'll download it later for a proper read.
As for the Swiss decision on Minarets, it really is shockingly illiberal. Sadly, even on more libertarian websites, I've seen some appallingly bigoted views about it - with a large number of people putting their dislike of Islam (and Muslims) above any liberal principles they might otherwise have. None of the excuses I've seen (that it's about protecting traditional Swiss architectural culture or about noise pollution) hold up. This was, without doubt, an attack on Swiss Muslim culture.
