Puts NOW and other liberal women's groups in an awkward position.
I suspect Tammy Bruce will have something to say about this.

"warnings from prominent feminists that Islam threatens their rights." Rights obtained through Western (Christian) Civilization.

received an unlikely boost from radical feminists arguing that the tower-like structures are male power symbols People like this don't help things. Sometimes a minaret is just a minaret.

“said Julia Werner, a local housewife. Before you know it, well have sharia law and women being stoned to death in our streets. We wont be Swiss any more.”
You have that right Julia. Don’t let it happen to your beautiful nation and culture.

obviously these aren’t “real” women. is a stepford wife the feminist equivalent of an uncle tom?

"
Swiss business is horrified. There are fears of a reaction against Swiss products similar to the one suffered by Denmark over the publication of cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad in 2005. The brand Swiss must continue to represent values such as openness, pluralism and freedom of religion, said Hanspeter Rentsch, a member of the board of Swatch, the watchmaker."
It figures that the capitalists would be on the side of Islam, for money...just like here.

I’m so glad thats out in the open. Its one of those things that always puzzled me. Seeing how they treat their women,how could any sane woman want the same?

yea. when its in Saudi Arabia. Not so much in western countries. In western countries it becomes a bit more than ‘just a minaret’.

Feminists in general have been pretty quiet regarding Muslim treatment of women. Beatings, honor killings, and virtual salvery can be overlooked in deference to multiculturalism, but giant phallic towers will not be condoned!

Sometimes a minaret is just a minaret. Sometimes Burqas are Burqas...when you put 2 and 2 together, your still get;
- I love my sheep more than my wife. - I love my brother more than my wife. - I love male power more than my wife....
...now let's talk about my daughter...
sorry pal - People like this do help things!

Perhaps they should be “condomed”.

At first I thought that maybe "The Prophets Parker and Stone" pissed someone off in Switzerland with "Team America, World Police."
I could have sworn that the title of the article was calling for a ban on marionettes!

If we give them a minaret, theyll have us all wearing burqas, said Julia Werner, a local housewife. Before you know it, well have sharia law and women being stoned to death in our streets. We wont be Swiss any more. At least somebody gets it, at last. Now if only American women would start waking up...

Julia gets it.
They don't belong in the West.

So Swiss women are smarter than the NOW gang? No surprise there.
The NOW gang is just a commie pinko organization thinly disguised as a women’s group.

Bingo. One thing learned from Hillarycare, Obamacare and the Carbon crusade: Corporations will not defend private enterprise or private property.

People like this don't help things. Sometimes a minaret is just a minaret. Minarets serve no purpose and are not mentioned in the Koran. the only reason for them is to demonstrate the supremacy of Islam and intimidate the infidel.
