European papers are dismayed by Switzerland's popular vote to ban the building of minarets. Some fear it will backfire, sending the wrong signal to the Muslim world and setting a precedent for other parts of Europe. Several papers criticise the type of democracy practised in Switzerland, which allows ordinary people rather than elected representatives to decide on such matters.
Gee, I guess the other Euro-speak term for "too much democracy" is "democracy". Thanks rdl6989.

Eurotrash dhimmi’s whimpering again.
When Muslim “nations” like Saudi Arabia and other slime holes allow Christians to have churches, Jews to have synagogues, and stop destroying statues of Buddha - then I will consider minarets being allowed anywhere on the face of the earth.

When the Muslims make their last jihad into Europe, the Swiss won’t need our help. They are quite capable of dealing with their enemies.
That is why the German Army never attempted to invade the Swiss.

The Third Reich needed the gold in Zurich.
After careful deliberation, they decided their need was not going to be met via Zurich.

This ban may induce the Muslim Mass Murderers (MMM) in Western countries to riot, kill, plunder and rape..?
WTF?
What universe are these losers in?
Don't they read the pap...
...never mind...

IIRC, the Swiss have been bankers for the wealthy of the world for rather longer than the pre-WWII period.

Typical BBC B. S.
Most non-Muslim Europeans, especially in such places as Holland, are delighted that the Swiss demonstrated this courage.

Yeah, no way should people be allowed to decide their own destiny!/SAR Europeans, hogtied by 1000s of years of being ruled instead of governed. This is what they hate about America, for the most part people decide their own fate, or we used to before we became infiltrated by communist traitors.
