A Swiss friend who had studied here and his dad came through LA recently, returning from a wedding. The dad said, “In ten years you will not know Switzerland for the immigrants.” I’m sorry - you never read this, but they’ve been letting them in for some time.
Another Swiss friend worked hard to pass the law forbidding minarets in his canton ( he is in Basel). He said the Catholic monastery/ monks were the only ones who got it and fought it. The Protestant pastors (he is Protestant) would NOT support the bill; ‘they will become Christians once we are friendly with them,” they told him.
Just like the Battle of Lepanto; just like the Battle of Vienna. Many Protestant countries did not fight in these huge battles, but the Catholics understood the danger.
I was Protestant for 20 years, now Catholic. Not blaming, only naming facts.
The Protestant pastors (he is Protestant) would NOT support the bill; they will become Christians once we are friendly with them, they told him.
They are not Protestants, they are (a) fools, (b) post-Christians
There was a time when immigration was not allowed in Switzerland
We had a German friend who swore their invading muzzies were intelligent, skilled and hard workers who would never change Germany.
I am amazed at the people like that, and the Pope and other religious leaders, who don't know about other competitive religions.-Tom
