ANKARA: Muslims should consider withdrawing their money from Swiss bank
accounts in response to the country's ban on construction of minarets, a Turkish minister said.
"I am certain this (vote) will prompt our brothers from Muslim countries who keep their money and investments in Swiss banks to review their decision," said Egemen Bagis, cited by Turkish daily Zaman.
Bagis is the chief negotiator for Turkey's European Union accession as well as minister for European affairs.
"In 2008, when banks around the world were falling, no bank was affected in Turkey, and the door of Turkey's banking system is open to them," said Bagis.

They have the right to take their money out.
If they do, the Swiss slit their own throats.
And put it in some Muslim bank? They know better than that. They have to have someplace to run to when the next dictator comes to power.
“And put it in some Muslim bank? “
EXACTLY! You know, Muslim banks are renowned for safety!!!
Go for it Muzzies!!!
Well now they’ll have a chance to put their money where their mouths are. Let’s see who’s actually more important to your average Muzzie zillionare, Allah or Ben Franklin.
Some truth in what you’re saying. Mideastern oil rich companies have so much money in the international banking systems that if they ever wanted to cause havoc they could bring the whole system down. So I see this threat, to withdraw, a monetary blackmail on the Swiss.
Money equals power, as we see operating now in this situation.
Good Muslims aren’t supposed to believe in interest.
They can take their money and leave the West.
Bringing down the world banking system sounds fun, but it’s bad for the oil business. Oil rich Muslims don’t do anything that is bad for business.
How many Catholic Churches are there in Saudi Arabia? Answer me that Mr. Turkman. When islam renounces death for the infidel, then maybe we can build a few minarets.
So all these “good” muslims have their money earning
swiss interest? I suppose that’s ok cause it’s infidel
interest they are collecting.
Go ahead, move it to an Islamic bank, I dare you.
Bwhahahaha.
Besides, they keep it in a swiss bank for the same reasons
other people do to keep it out of the hand of taxing government.
Since those Swiss accounts are interest bearing, good Muslims shouldn’t have had their money there in the first place.
Well, that’s true. One hand does feed the other.
That is a good way for Turkey to get in the EU. Dummy
For the most part Turkey has abondoned that effort pretty much. They’ve gone the other way with the Mid- Eastern alliances. Besides it wasn’t going to happen anyway...their government has moved way to far under Islamic Mulas once again, though some remain who do not adhere and continue the effort.
It won’t happen on any large scale. Swiss accounts are still the safest in the world and the rich MUZZIES know it!
the funny thing is that those muzzie companies have lost tons of money in really bad investments. I mean REALLY bad.
Perhaps so , but it must be remembered they are Masters at bluffing not to mention they view everything thru the lens of Islam. Not that they are practicing that, most with the big bucks put on a good show. But the perseption, in the eyes of their nation who do practice Islam, must appear to guard and defend that.
Therefore though Dubi certainly got in trouble, and monies appear wanting, they will do what is needed to curtail this situation in Switzerland.
Hey how about emptying your houses as well.
