yes, in fact it is good it will open up the hypocrisy of swiss to the world and I am sure they will get some very good press all over the world for that (which has already started to happen)
It will show the wisdom of the swiss people. Anywhay muslims immigrants are not reqired to stay in the west, they can go to Saudi Arabia or elsewhere to practice child marriage where it is allowed by Islamic law.
so by the same logic do you think that it would be OK for Muslims States to shutdown the the symbols of Christianity . churches ?
new, don't use the word logic, you don't understand what logic means. Church is not a symbol of christianity, it is a place of worship. The Cross is a symbol of Christianity. This is exactly why it is Banned in Saudi Arabia. The Swiss will not ban mosques, which are places of worship, they (hopefully) will ban the minaret, not a symbol of Islam either, and not a religious obligation in Islam but rather a way to display "islamic machoismus". To force those who don't want to hear the quran hear it against their will. I hear this junk from the mosques of Nazareth 5 times a day. Why do I have to listen to this crap? The hindus in Switzerland are not allowed to let their dead float on the river. The jews in Switzerland are not allowed to make the traditional lag baomer fire once a year. And the Muslims will not be allowed to build minarret and display the "glory" of their religion to those who don't want to see it. The Swiss want to make sure that state law remains above "god's law". Something that is in contradiction with Islam. Israelis are very smart people. But I must admit: nothing tops the Swiss. They are admirable. This vote is another example: they learn from the mistakes of their neighbors. new's ability to draw conclusions from basic premises with a simple logical consideration applied to them is less than the average Swiss 10 year old.
Ever tried to build a church in a Muslim country? With church bells? So much for tolerance and religious freedom!
This topic ended as a serious issue the second someone pointed out that Muslim venues refuse to grant other religions the same freedom they insist is their right. Shrill demanding Muslims are rapidly fouling their nest in even the most accommodating countries, as evidenced by the backlash in Switzerland. Don't call anyone else a hypocrite until Muslims are willing to tolerate other religions as they insist they themselves should be tolerated... learn to treat women with respect, figure out that someone else's sexual orientation is none of their damned business, etc. Such intolerant ideological buffoons. The world owes you nothing you don't owe back in return. That's a kindergarten level concept even you guys should be able to grasp. Paybacks suck dont they?
I agree the Swiss are very smart and nice people, been there twice. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1150885911457&pagename=JPArticle/ShowFull
I kno, I am not from the chosen ones can you enlighten us that how minaret means "Islamic machoismus" and what did it has to do with "forcing others to hear Quran"? I hope you understand that the issue is construction of minarets ..where did the swiss say that they want to ban minarets because they broadcast Quran from them ? If Swiss Muslims want to broadcast Quran, it can be done even without the minarets again, what it has to do with construction of minarets ? The reason for hindus and jews not being allowed to do so is environmental pollution if the Swiss put a ban on Muslims sacrificing animals for Eid-ul-Adha at their Homes than I will have no problem, that is understandable (I am sure it would be already disallowed as is the case in most of the west and usa) however the reasons for placing a ban on minarets are totally different and racist so what hell will broke lose if they allow a couple of minarets ? I know how you define smart smart =racist the same party who is pushing the ban is a fierce critic of immigration, drew international criticism for a campaign poster two years ago showing a white sheep kicking a black sheep out of Switzerland granted we agree (for sake of argument) with what you are saying, Swiss Muslims are not responsible for what Muslims Govts do all over the world. they are Swiss citizens and should be treated as such, so? lol ..this was a good one! choas? so any comment ?
Funny, i thought muslims were for "people deciding what is best for them" in thier own country. Are muslims insisting everybody else abide by rules they aren't willing to abide by themselves again? How typical.
You're forgetting when 1 Muslim speaks on this forum, he isn't speaking for 1.5 billion Muslims, he is speaking for himself and his opinion, so i don't know why you say "Muslims" as if every single one holds the same opinion after reading 1 or 2 people's posts lol, so idiotic.
lol I misread, i thought you said "Are you for peope deciding what is best for them" in their own country, not "are they. not Just to make it clear, I am all for people in their own country deciding what is best for them.
Here is a church in a "Muslim country", i.e. in Malacca, Malaysia. One of the oldest churches in the country which was built by Dutch occupiers in the 18th century and still standing until today. What was that you said again about "tolerance and religious freedom"?
Loose definition of "Muslim Country". Hell, lets throw Indonesia and the U.S. on the list since they both have large Muslim populations. Why don't you post something from that wonderful part of the world we refer to as the "Middle East" from a country that is truly considered Muslim, not secular(Turkey).
Coptic church in Aswan, Egypt: Catholic church in Qatar: Anglican church in UAE: And lets not forget the Church of Nativity in Baitul-Laham (Bethelem), Occupied Palestine. "Middle Eastern" enough for you? Many more examples...if the Islam-haters cared to look for it instead of shooting with their unloaded gun.
