Switzerland About To Vote On Minaret Ban

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Uncle Tom=Uncle Mohhamed?

I just think it's funny how blatant racism doesn't bother a majority of the Swiss. They are banning part of a building simply because it represents the muslims and they need to stop that why? It looks the same as the rest of the buildings, it's not hurting anyone, It's on a holy site.

It seems like the Swiss are scared the Muslims can't assimalate on there own.

You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig

How is this Racism? It's not like Christianity is a "white" religion.

Not so sure, they probably would have voted against anything Islam, I think they just send out a warning to the multicultists in their government, it's a pity this battle is fought over the back of the muslims but it has to happen regardless, the multicultural left just needs to go.

Do you two not see the bloody posters?

The fact you choose the least conterversial and still have to preface it is rather telling.

There are 4 minarets in the entire country, this only serves to embolden radicals.

I must say I truly am disgusted in the lengths allot of you are willing to go to make this blantantly racist campaign ok in your heads.

You lot are better than this.

I think I understand where you are coming from STFS but I think you need to understand where the swiss are coming from. You fellas haven't really been in your country that long and it wasn't really "yours" to begin with, so you have less of a problem with others coming in and parking their culture next to yours, the swiss however have been there quite a while, and they would like to keep the place looking very swiss, thank you very much.

My families been here since 1620 (yes I can trace mah boys back to Mass bay and Virginia, eat your heart out). We've left out mark so to speak.

I understand wanting to protect culture but that minaret disrupts nothing at all. I would kill for that kind of assimalation in some parts of America.

Muslims make up 4% of the swiss pop, have 20 mosuqes, and only 4 minarets. Those numbers are barley a blip and this only shows aggression towards a very small minorty.

And the posters are what really do it for me, Those are just racist period. I would have been willing to give them the benifit of the doubt but those are hate mongering.

Just for the record, I have never met a Swiss in person who isn't grumpy. And I go there every year, and I have done since I was 11.

Racism is not unknown between 'whites'.

This is certainly edgy, it goes a lot further than I would ever be willing to go and I do not agree with this, but I am going to give it some latitude because I don't think it is what it seems to be, people think in symbols I have yet to figure out what they really voted against, is it a minaret or should we put this in a broader perspective.

[Strike For The South]

The posters aren't relevant to the issue. Just because some of the people opposing minarets are massively racist doesn't mean even a small minority of the rest of the Swiss are.

I agree with Loius, though I would be surprised if the population percentage is as high as he suspects.

They are extremely releavant to the issue. They are being pushed by the same party whom came up with the legislation. They are all over Switzerland.

Is edgy dutch for racist?

So because racists are in favour of the message, it must be racist?

No, but since no one seems to be bothered by why they brought the ban up in the first place it leads me to question the Swiss motives.

It's great that they can say it's a very small group bringing this up and they don't represent the Swiss at large but then turnaround and vote for this.

If the Swiss had sane immagration laws or had more children this wouldn't be an issue. But the Swiss didn't so you need to make room for these people whom the Swiss needed to bring in to sustain there way of life.

That's what I will never understand about Europe, you need brown people to sustain you and now complain when they bring a very small part of there culture with them. The nerve of those bastards.

Fix'd. I think the referendum was a travesty as well by the way, and certainly inspired by, if not won by, racists.

That's a leftist myth

Is edgy dutch for racist?

No. Presumably he meant ‘randgeval’ which is more accurately rendered as ‘borderline’.
