Don't muslim citizens and foreign residents in Switzerland enjoy more rights than in pretty much any Muslim country?

There is definitely some hostility to some aspects of Islam, aspects which seem to only recently have become central to the exercise of worship for some (the veiling of women for instance), yet this has not translated to some outright discrimination of muslims. Bosnian and Albanian immigrants for instance appear to have been integrated and/or assimilated into society.

That’s a great observation, and probably true in the case of every single liberal western democracy. Especially if you’re a woman, gay, etc.

I'm pretty sure minarets have been central for a while.
