The noise is certainly a real issue. In Oxford (UK) there's been a big protest over a minaret in Divinity Road, for just that reason. If any of the Swiss were influenced by this kind of consideration, IMO you can't condemn them. If it was straight prejudice, I do condemn them. From the little I've been able to gather, it seems the campaign was fought mainly on prejudice.
