Outrage over Swiss ban on minarets
In the most recent attempt to alienate Muslim’s the minaret was a political symbol against integration; a symbol more of segregation and first above all a symbol to try to introduce Sharia law parallel to Swiss rights. That sounds insane but it went directly to the paranoid citizens and they voted to outlaw the Minaret. Swiss ban on Minarets

Libya follows Iran in warning against Swiss minaret ban

Remember the Danish cartoons about Muhammad printed almost 4 years ago? Here they are
Remember the French headscarf ban after dozens of Muslim school girls were expelled for refusing to remove their headscarfs? to the French it is a sign of oppression but who cares what they think?
Remember Salman Rushdie, who went into hiding under threat of death after an Iranian fatwa, was knighted by the Queen? Muslim's wanted his head and he had to go into hiding
You know I have written often of my disgust with those who said we did nothing to deserve 9/11 or anything that has happened before and since. We more than asked for everything we got. Remember the Berlin conference Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 to Divide Africa India and Pakistan being ad hoc divided by Britain The forming of Israel, Bush’s failed Middle East Democratization program. We asked for everything we get and we just keep instigating at every opportunity. I just don’t get it unless…

It's not going to change anytime soon as you know Jim but continues to get worse.
If the religious nutters here had a chance and thought they could cure all the perceived problems with violence they'd be doing it like stink on shit.
And even with being a believer if you didn't believe what they do you still be an enemy
I know Tom! I just can't believe it, I thought this Religious war crap ended with the crusades but forget it. Muslim's Christian's they both seem to think their way is the only way. Man!
We keep lifting the lid higher on Pandora's Box. Islam is a fast-growing religion, with about 2 billion followers to date. The main difference between Muslims and Christians is: Muslims adhere to their faith.
Although there are squabbles between the sects (Shi'a, Sunni, Wahhabi, et al), they WILL unite when confronted by the aggressive Christians. This ain't gonna be pretty.
Good point, Moose. You are a quick study! ;)
The majority of Muslims in Britain and France are a result of them being colonial powers. Most french Muslims come from their old North African Empire and British Muslims are from Asia. Any problems they bring are a kind of payback, sins of the fathers.
The Swiss situation is different, their Muslim community are mostly refugees from the Balkan conflicts. I'm surprised the Swiss took any at all, they don't usually let anybody live in their country unless they were born there. Nonetheless, even though a right-wing group proposed the ban on Minarets, 58% of the voters went for it. It is a growing populist trend in Europe and the hate groups are fanning some brightly glowing embers.
Every time a Predator Drone Strikes and kills innocent women and children (by mistake or as collateral damage) a terrorist is born.
Think about it - if you were at a picnic with your family and your son, daughter, mother or father was killed by another country's military wouldn't you be angry? Perhaps a cousin was there that you did not know well who was an arms dealer being targeted by this other country but to get to him they kill 40 people.
Would you seek to exact revenge? Perhaps not all of us would but I know some of us would - those are the "terrorists". People aren't just born hating America. Most of the time America has done something to negatively impact their lives and piss them off.
That doesn't mean it is right for them to go kill innocent people. But human beings don't always do what is right - obviously.
Brother you know you are right and both Religions seem to think there is only room for theirs. As I have said forever now even under Obama I just see a forever war, Religious or not.
I'm sorry Moose I thought that came from Brother!
Holte want to say I do not like the trend but I am long convinced like it or not we are in a forever war!
Poli I am convinced ten or more is more like it and you know I would exact revenge. I am afraid it's human nature!
Am I the only one having a problem with the links to the 'Berlin Conference....'? I get a dead link message from Google when I click
Hi Steven! Hold on I will check it or get another but you are the first!
Here is the same one

I've been reading too many blogs; at first, I thought you were talking about Tiger's indiscretions. :)
