Swiss Vote on Minarets

[747piIot]

Islam isn`t a religion. There is no compulsion in religion, yet these scoundrels indoctrinate little children so that they have no choice but to believe it is correct. Islam works the same way as any other cult, and is spreading it`s awful tentacles like a huge cancer. That`s why it is universally reviled throughout the world. We want it OUT of Europe, and are now working on removing it. This is only the start and the great revolt against this evil devil worship cult is now underway.

@747piIot

It seems like you haven't seen any other religion before... all religions involve the same kind of indoctrination you describe with respect to Islam. All religions give you no choice but to believe in its supposed authenticity and salvation or else you'll face horrible consequences (either in in this life or later on). There is nothing unique about this.

[747piIot]

Well said MaryRose. All religions are foul. Islam simply excels by offering rewards such as having alternate feet an hands cut off (quran) if you don`t join the club, and also the lovely female genital mutilation - removal of the clitoris. Lovely Islam!

[MaryRose007]

@747piIot

Again, you're not being balanced and seem to have an axe to grind with Islam only.

1. There is no such thing as having alternate feet and hands cut off if you don't become a Muslim.

2. FGM is an African practice, not a Muslim one. Countless Muslim countries don't have FGM while almost all African nations practice it regardless of their religion.

3. Why pick on FGM? Why not MGM started by Judaism? How come that doesn't seem to bother you?

Please be a bit balanced and informed.

[747piIot]

Of course I have an axe to grind with islam! There is only one cult that is committed to seizing power from all the world`s governments, and that is islam. That ambition is as despicable as Hitler`s, and we will fight them until our last breath to keep their vile cult from dictating to us.

Why do you seek to defend this horrible organisation? Shouldn`t you be defending it`s victims - i.e. the billion or so folk under it`s vile jackboot? They are not in a position to escape it`s evil clutches.

@747piIot

If you think Islam is the ONLY belief system that seeks to dominate the world, then you don't know the first thing about World System Theory my friend. ALL systems (no exception) that have a hierarchy inherently seek to dominate the world. If youre not recognizing what the U.S. has been trying to do since its inception as an attempt at spreading its hegemony across the globe, then youre standards are too double to receive any support from me.

[MaryRose007]

@747piIot

What makes you assume that 1 billion people want to escape Islam? Why dont you assume that 300 million Americans and another near 300 million Europeans are trying to escape the Capitalist materialist greedy systems? If youre still thinking in good-vs.-evil terms and that there are oppressed believers, then you dont belong in the year 2009. You belong in the Biblical era, even though you denounce religion collectively your thought process isnt much more advanced the religion.

[sandjaq]

The purpose of a Minaret is for the athan to be announced. is for calling for prayer, Since there shall be no athan announced from them, they ARE NOT NECESSARY.[] OH MUSLIMS, focus on what goes on inside the masjid and not what decorations we put on the walls or the finery of the carpets. MASAJID ARE FOR GUIDANCE, SO BUILD THEM AS PLACES OF GUIDANCE AND THOUGHT AND ADMONITION AGAINST HARAM AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF HALAL.

[StoogeWatcher]

Muslims are hypocrites. They're whining about freedom of religion now, but see what happens when you carry a Bible or want to construct a church in a Muslim country.

[MaryRose007]

@StoogeWatcher

When was the last time you saw a Muslim country with a Christian minority amongst its citizenry that banned the construction of churches or preaching of the bible? Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Jordan are all examples of Muslim countries that have a minority of Christian citizens. Those Christians are free to do whatever they want with their churches and their preaching.

You got your facts all mixed up my friend!

[StoogeWatcher]

What about countries like Saudi Arabia and Somalia? They're hypocritically whining about the minaret ban, but persecute Christians on a daily basis.

[MaryRose007]

@StoogeWatcher

You would have a case if you picked better options for your argument. Somalia is not a state. It's an anarchy run by pirates & warlords where Christians may get persecuted but Muslims actually get slaughtered by the truck-loads. You can't deduce anything from Somalia's behavior.

Saudi Arabia does what it does under the FULL protection of the US. If it persecutes Christians, the blame is on the American Govt that protects this hypocrisy.

Pick a country with a Christian minority.

[naybobdenod]

it just goes to show that governments can be wrong for the majority do not want these disgusting symbols of a hateful belief system within their country.

Afterall it is THEIR country,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhh

did you forget about democracy,yesssssssssss

its that thing where the majority get their own way,unlike islam for it is the minority that rule and get their own way,just for once a sensible nation have said no to ISLAM,well done switzerland,I applaud you all who voted no to minarets,:)

[MaryRose007]

@naybobdenod

Your understanding of democracy is flawed. Democracy isn't about taking away the rights of minorities just because the majority wants it. Democracy means majority rule & minority rights.

Read up on democracy before you comment please.

[StoogeWatcher]

Democracy works because the majority of the Swiss didn't want minarets.

[howie1962]

The swiss r simply saying the best place to build a mosque or a minaret is in Turkey

There is a clear & consistent relationship in Europe btwn construction of mosques & terrorism. If Switzerland is such an evil place muslims shouldn't live there in the first place

[jerkinp]

Banning minarets is no big deal. If they banned the religion itself there would be trouble. Muslim countries especially the oil rich ones would pull out investments and place oil embargoes on the Swiss. The Swiss won't be able to travel like the Americans with their flags on anything.

[eip81]

The solution is for ALL the countries they have pissed off: USA, Russia, India, anywhere in the EU, Israel, Thailand Philippines, etc., to SIMULTANEOUSLY pass a ban on this death cult in their respective legislatures. They can boycott Switzerland; they can boycott Denmark; but how many countries can they boycott at once?

It is time for all victims of Islam to unite!

[MaryRose007]

@jerkinp

No, oil-rich countries won't pull out investments because the Swiss have something the oil-rich people want badly: A SHADY QUESTIONABLE DUBIOUS BANKING INDUSTRY!

[abarzilai664]

The official results come out as 57% in support.

[baboonsquadron]

old story with nazis.... this is the return

[persenso]

islam is the new nazism.
