Swiss Muslims Open Mosque Doors
Swiss Muslims hope to promote better understanding of their religion Muslims in many parts of Switzerland have invited the public into mosques - three weeks before a vote on whether to ban the construction of minarets.
Muslim organisations say they hope their open day will counter what they say are fears and prejudices.
The conservative group that initiated the vote - the largest party in the Swiss parliament - says minarets are a symbol of Muslim political power. Opinion polls suggest the proposed ban will be rejected by voters.
A Muslim community leader in Zurich, Tamir Hadjipolu, said the proposal - launched by the right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP) - was "open discrimination".
Preaching to the converted? Switzerland is home to 400,000 Muslims, who have about 200 places of worship. Only four have a minaret, local media say. The open day was held on Saturday in 12 cantons, including Geneva, Vaud and Freiburg.

ban minarets? oy. like banning halal food.
The ‘conciliatory’ act by muslims is nothing but a tactic. I guess it’s a good one too, when used on societies that can’t learn over so many centuries what their real objectives are. Islam is the mortal enemy of the west. I’m sure I seem redundant as hell for writing that sentence into so many posts, but I just can’t think of a better way to say it. Islam is the mortal enemy of western civilization. Their intent to conquer us should be obvious to all but the most obtuse.

Well, somebody gets it!
Exactly. Muslim representatives (publicly) act docile and tolerant when they are in the minority. They know that they are breeding 10x faster than the host population and STILL pouring into Europe at an alarming rate. All they need to do is bid their time till the demographics favor outright rebellion and oppression.
The liberals in Europe and here in the USA will deny this till the very end, until their heads are on the chopping block.
Why don’t these groups push for Christian churches to be opened in Saudi Arabia and other such places they are banned from building new ones?
Why does this stuff only work one way?
Because the 'targeted' culture is paralyzed by political correctness, and rendered incapable of that kind of logic.
a pakistani guy I talked to on a sporting website told me that they know not to fight to take over Europe but one day they will be the majority and they will take over.
As the years go by to that he said they will keep electing muslims in Govt until they take over.
Not hard to figure out even for the left wing sheep is it
Minarets look like penises to me. Am I wrong?
OK try to figure this out
If we go to their country we are told by the loons on the far left that we should respect their traditions, culture and laws.
I agree
when they come voer here we are told by the loons on the far left that we have to respect their culture, traditions etc.
OK so where the hell is our respect?????
Respect is a two way street but it seems the muslims and the loons on the left do not seem to understand that but just wait till they take a foot hold over there in big numbers and the homos are attacked, killed etc.
The left will still cry about their one way diversity I bet
Those evil phalic symbols remind me of missiles.
There will be a bloody civil war in Europe. It will make the massacre of Jews, Gippsies, true Christians, and others look like a scratch.
See my #10. We are onto something here!
They are phalic symbols. Muslim men worship giant penises and suppress their women and children. It is a horrible religion.
If the muslims take over a European country and then start executing gays and putting women in Hijebs ... I think they left will get a new perspective on the issue.
Bingo! This absurdity must stop. They even have a mosque in the heart of Rome!
Absolutely. I have gay friends who despise Christians because they think they hate them. Yet, the people who would KILL them, they dismiss as political victims. When you look at the penises Muslims worship (minarets) and the "honor" killings they are encouraged to perform in order to maintain the male control of the entire population, what is there not to HATE!!!??? Sometimes, the world is upsidedown.
Just like us, their guard isn’t up yet. They don’t see. They don’t understand.
I’ve said for a while that there will be concentration camps in Europe again, before it’s over. The only question is who will be running them. Likely within my lifetime.
I’m 50.
Oh, and I’m not at all happy to be making that prediction. Not a bit. Grim reality is more like it, as I see it.
I agree. If you want to see where this country will be with the liberals in control, simply watch Europe, and specifically, Britain. The UK is about 10-15 years ahead of our downward spiral. They will have a major upheaval soon because of the stupid liberal policies ravaging their country.
Having a "head on a chopping block" used to be a metaphor... now with Muslims - the term really means, "head ON chopping block"...
