International Anger at Swiss Mosque Minaret Ban

A top Swiss official said Monday that voter approval of a ban on minarets next to mosques could be struck down in court, as critics at home and abroad swiftly condemned the vote, saying it undermined the country's secular image. (Nov. 30)

The Siwss votes are the voice of the whole Europe. But the difference is that in Europe only Swiss people can vote for/against something. The only democratic country - Switzerland

As long you muslims will not accept that a woman has the same rights as a man and accept religion freedom we will never vote for you guys! We are a country of law here and we don't discuss or negociate about these 2 points it's a must! If you are unhappy about Switzerland or think that you are discriminated perhaps look on yourself first! If you don't like it here you can go back at anytimes in your own country! This is our nation and we say how it is going on here!

The Swiss can do what they want it's their country. Muslims are the last people who should be complaining about being discriminated against.

they should ban mosques completely, not just minarets

@AnimalWelfare1000 NIVREV2:22-23 jesus"and I will make those who commit adultery suffer intensely, unless they repent, I will strike their children dead" Deuteronomy 21:10-14When you battle against enemies, if God delivers captives in our hands, and see among the captives a beautiful woman...12 then you shall take her to your house, shave her head, remove her clothes and make her your wife. also cain/wife, amnon/thamar, amram/ jochabed, nachor/ melcha, abraham/ sara etc etc were all incest!

@AnimalWelfare1000 ...well actually the old and new testament are both wonderous celebrations of murder, rape, beastality, bondage, incest, pedophilia, torture, slavery and genocide ...JUST LIKE THE QURAN !! ; ) all religion is a contageous mental illness that demands its followers sacrafice their ability to reason/ think freely for themselves and submit to an ultimately oppressive and inhuman non existence supreme authority, it is NOT the future of mankind

[TheBrradsullivan]

ITS TIME PEOPLE PROUDLY STAND UP AS BEING ANTI ALL RELIGIONS !!!

@leemouse No really I am outraged by muslims who don't understand their own religion,I'm tired of muslim being agressive and outraged about this....but for crying out loud,in Muhammads p.b.u.h. time christians were allowed to build churches,you were allowed to change your religion (the only time Muhammad prohibited it was when the jews changed their religion a lot of times to confuse muslims),Muhammad treated jews equally...while today this radical interpretation is ruining islam and our image
