Swiss media say that exit polls appear to show a 59% yes vote for banning the construction of new minarets on mosques. However a definitive result will be known later today.

The populist Swiss People’s Party put forward the proposal – Switzerland has four mosques minarets with two more planned.

That is one great poster... and one great campaign.

I feel so good about this. I didn’t even know about this story until 2 days ago when I heard a weepy waily NPR (sorry!) report about it with the leftist schmuktareporter going on and on and on about how this is sooooooooooooooo unfair.

I am so glad.

I am so gratified.

All this shows is that the Swiss still have a ballot box and that ACORN and SEIU haven't polluted their electorate yet.

Get ready for the letdown of 2010 when the dead and twice born vote again and again and again for the democrat of choice in november.

Good news. Now dis-assemble the barracks.

“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, the believers our soldiers.”

Earlier this year Langenthal's 750 Muslims asked for planning permission to add a minaret, 30 feet high, to their mosque in a town with 11 churches and 14,500 inhabitants.

The reaction to the apparently harmless request has polarised Switzerland and crossed borders to feed into British, French, Dutch and Austrian fears over Islam and national identity.

"This minaret is a symbol of conquest and power which marks the will to introduce Sharia law as has happened in some other European cities. We will not accept that," said Ulrich Schueler, an SVP politician and leader of the "stop" minaret campaign.

A Good Start...

The final count can be found here.

So far fourteen cantons (regions) have reported final counts and the no to minarets has won in thirteen. Only Geneva voted yes to minarets.

In other referendums there were big majorities to allow weapons export and to increase state funds for aviation safety. Good conservatives, those Swiss!

“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, the believers our soldiers.”

This so-called “religion of peace” is really a well-funded ideological crusade bent on establishing bases in non-muslim countries in an attempt to infiltrate and then edge out the native cultures.

Given another opportunity, Republicans MUST de-fund NPR (National Propaganda Radio). Let ‘em weep over that!

Apparently it to took Women’s groups to make this happen. They recognized that Islam treats women as subhuman. If only U.S. Women’s groups could have a similar awakening.

“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, the believers our soldiers.”

“And the Koran and Hadith are our terrorist training materials.”

The Koran:

Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Sura (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."

Sura (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"

Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Sura (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah"

Sura (8:57) - "If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember."

Sura (9:14) - "Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace..."

Sura (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."

Sura (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"

Sura (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness."

Sura (47:4) - "So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make them prisoners,"

Sura (61:4) - "Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way"

Sura (66:9) - "O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's end

From the Hadith:

Muslim (1:33) - the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah

Bukhari (8:387) - Allah's Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’”

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, "Kill any Jew who falls under your power."

Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

Ibn Ishaq: 992 - "Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve in Allah."

The Koran and hadiths are replete with examples of Muhammad's barbaric behavior. Robert Spencer does a good job here explaining Islam - Blogging the Qur’an Start at the bottom.

Very interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

As more and more people examin Islam from a rational and logical prespective, they will see it is a tool of evil, domination and submission.

A lot like the democrats and their "progressive" communist thought.

We need to get rid of both.

Absolutely. Anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-life collectives are destructive.
