The Swiss decision to ban the building of new minarets in Switzerland is sending shockwaves throughout the Muslim world.
Muslims and human rights groups have expressed outrage at the decision, depicting it as an attack on Islam and a setback for religious freedom.
More than 57% of Swiss voters approved the proposal Sunday in a nationwide referendum backed by Switzerland's right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP), widely associated with anti-immigration campaigns.

Apparently the “almost anything goes” Swiss have finally had enough. Kudos to them.

The Swiss better be ready to take out 10 Muslims for every Swiss that is harmed in the wake of this.
Hire hundreds of deportation clerks, and get the rail cars ready for brisk business to the southeast.

They have no moral ground to stand on as long as Christian churches are not allowed to be built or repaired in Moslem countries and if any Christian is persecuted within Islam.

With many homes armed with full auto military rifles and tinned ammo, by law, I don’t think that the usual riots will occur.
If they do, it’ll significantly minimize the transport problem.

I say the Swiss offer them a proposal:
Minarets will be allowed in Switzerland when Bibles are allowed in Saudi Arabia.
Ask a Muslim what they think of that proposal.

The Swiss should announce they will reconsider allowing one minaret for every Christian Church and synagogue built in Saudi wahabbi land.

Whatta laugh. Muslims talking about religious freedom.
In Muslandia, "religious freedom" means freedom of Muslims to kill pretty much anyone else.

Every action or thought of a Muslim has to a non-muslim is connected to dhiminitude. Of course our “elites” never think to even ask this of the mooslims, instead they want to play big momma day care supervisor.
