"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.

The Swiss business community needs to ask itself in which Islamic countries do such values exist? Virtually none.

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

Capitalists LOVED Adolf Hitler too. History repeating itself.

The brand "Islam" represents values such as censorship, repression, and mass murder of infidels. Does he want that to replace the "Swiss" brand? When is the last time a Swiss chalet was built in Riyadh? Or a church?

“The brand ‘Swiss’ must”

Um. It’s not a brand, it’s a people.
