    Wow, I can't believe the Swiss had the guts to do that! It's a crying shame they didn't have the same intestinal fortitude to say no to the U.S. government when it came to accessing bank accounts and reporting to the U.S. You'll never see the Swedes, Germans, or Brits ban minarets anytime within the next eon.

    Not mentioned in that article was that there was another resolution up for vote, pertaining to the expot of arms. It passed by an even higher percentage (68%).

    Right now, it looks like the Swiss are leading the way in standing up for themselves. Let's take notes.

    WTF? How would everybody feel if they'd banned steeples instead?

    No different.

    A good part of my family is Swiss and I have several close friends who are Swiss citizens. When it comes to religion the Swiss are equally disinterested. For all we know steeples could be next. Nevertheless, I was still stunned that they actually did it...didn't think they had anything like that in them.

    Interesting...

    "The Swiss have failed to give a clear signal for diversity, freedom of religion and human rights," said Omar Al-Rawi

    I find this to be rather funny coming from a religion that still stones people to death, has forced rape as punishment, and is tolerant of beating women and beheading Christians ... in the name of their god.

    Spend more time squashing zealotry in your own ranks before you go crying about not getting your way.

    I think this is more of a move to resist any element that might cause issues in Switzerland. The Swiss have always been pretty good at staying out of conflict, and they probably see this as the next cause of war.

    I don't particularly need a place to pray, I have no problem quietly praying where ever my feet happen to be. If they don't want it in their country then they don't want it. I have actually seen muslim kids marching in military formation at their compounds around here and it's kinda creepy.

    There has been a declared Jihad on the western world. As you don't usually hear or see anyone in the East oppose these declared Jihads I really don't think it unwise for a country to say you guys aren't welcome hear until we can tell the good guys from the bad. Show us you are good and get rid of the bad ones. In many instances a mosque is just a gaudy gun vault.

    GOOD for Switzerland. I wish the US would do the same and then kick them all out.

    Yah what ever. I am Politically Incorrect and PROUD of it.
    Muslims have killed thousands in Great Brittan, Australia and Scotland just to name a few countries with their bombings and random shootings.
    Look at the Fort Hood and the four officers that just got gunned down (it has not been said except that any description of the shooter was being with held?!?!?! I wonder WHY)
    PEOPLE need to wake up. The constant everyday terrorist attacks are here in the US.
    Question is now. What is Congress and this POS president going to do about stopping Muslim terrorism in THIS country?

    Switzerland is just a relative stone's throw from Austria, which very nearly fell to the Ottoman Turks. There may be some institutional memory there. I say good on the Swiss. There is indeed a conflict of civilizations going on. The moslem world has a strong movement to punish the christian world for the crusades. It's not limited to just the bin ladin types. Moslem civilization is not currently compatible with Judeo/Christian western civilization. Perhaps there was once some room for co-existence. Not in the current world. Our survival depends on standing tough, and fighting off the muslim hostility, whether it be terrorism, political correctness, sharia law, or cultural non-assimilation. Good on the Swiss. May we also see the light.

    Hmmm

    Why would they feel that way? people in the steeples aren't blowing themselves up to kill muslims or anyone else for that matter. Nor do they kill you for your beliefs, or remain silent when someone from their religion does just that. (Although if the people of the cresent moon continue to go down this evil road of death, they are going to learn the hardway from those of us who know thier intent and their hearts). The people of the steeple tend to speakout against injustice, even for the unborn, they tend to support the rule of law...ain't seen any of that over here in the cresent moon society. The people from the steeples aren't the cause of fighting 48 of the 50 wars worldwide. The people of the steeple are the true peace loving religion, to say the other is, is just BS. The swiss called it for what it is. the sooner the rest of us understand it the better able we will be able to deal with this evil religion. :patriot:

    I applaud the Swiss for this vote.

    Reminds me of my hubby's home town taking a stand when illegals started taking over the city. They passed legislation that requires renters and homeowners to provide proof of legal status before they can rent or buy a home. As you can imagine, Hispanic Rights Groups were all over this crying unfair...but it's really not. If you aren't paying taxes and supporting the community you live in, get out. They've solved their illegals problem and the city is coming back.
    In this case, the Swiss are taking preventative measures. With Obama in office and all this pressure to be politically correct, I think we're past the point of prevention but we aren't past the point of redemption. Problem is...will it happen?
