Switzerland Bans The Islamic State
Breitbart ^ | Oct. 10, 2014 | Jordan Schachtel

Posted on 10/10/2014 3:18:43 PM PDT by PROCON

Swiss officials have announced that the country is banning the Islamic State and related entities from their lands.

The ban went into effect on Wednesday, when the Swiss cabinet voted to forbid Islamic State membership for at least six months. The ban disallows providing information or soliciting funds and recruiting for the jihadi terror group. Authorities said that doing so may result in three years in jail or a fine. The seven-member Swiss cabinet released a statement, which said that the Islamic State’s “massive human rights violations” have forced the country, which is known for its unapologetic neutrality, to act in order to assure its national security.

The government released a statement after ruling on the issue: “The Islamic State group commits grave violations of human rights. Due to the escalation in its atrocities in the past few weeks, the Federal Council today decided to ban the group.”

So diversity isn’t in all instances a good thing?

Wow. Never saw this realization coming from a Western white dominated society.

Perhaps one of these nations does want to survive.

It just might after all, in spite of Obama’s nature. The fact that Jimmy Carter tottered to the cameras last week and croaked that he thought Obama was not showing enough courage in defending the nation, may be enough to force Obama into making better decisions.

Getting dirt kicked in your face by Jimmy Carter? It can’t get much worse than that. That’s like Don Knots belching, deliberately and loudly, in Arnold Swartzennegger’s face, while both are in character.

As you and I both Know, You cannot win without defining the enemy and what they stand for and how you are different.

The Better question is how can obama say we need to win the hearts and minds without doing this simple step... You Cannot! That is what so Crazy of obama, this Administration, and yes much of the GOP... So many have sold their Souls!

Our troops are being setup, we need to get out because we cannot say who and what we are fighting we can never win and only Blood and Treasure will be and have been spent for Nothing but tears...

They Need to Speak Truth!

I think Obama secretly laughs about dropping million dollar ordnance on $20K pickup trucks.

As long as there is a Muslim sympathizer in the WH it won't happen.

My paternal forebears were Swiss. Landed in Philadelphia November 9, 1750. Received warrant rights to 50 acres of land from the Penns. Go Switzerland!

America may catch on, we might have 60-65% realistically who would want to do the same thing. Then we have idiots like the ACLU, DNC, etc. that would hold us back.

Swiss officials have announced that the country is banning the Islamic State...AND ‘related’ entities from their lands.

So who might “related entities” entail...leaves the window pretty far open IMO. Way to go to the Swiss!!!! They at least understand..”National Security”.

Do not be surprised if the Swiss reverse that decision if a few of them get their throats slit.

The Swiss may have appeared heroic in WWII when they resisted Hitler and remained neutral, but ISIS is as different from Nazism as ebola is from the common cold.

There is no country in the West that would dare to contemplate that action.

Expect more of them to grab the ankles when facing Islam.
