The Swiss are now known for 4 good things!
Fine watches, excellant chocolate, and the Alps have always been admirable features of the Swiss. Now we can add common sense.

It just shows the Swiss are not "Cheesy People". They have recognized that the islamic threat is real, and they have the ba##s to address the problem through a democratic vote. They don't appear to be worried about being PC. When are we going to wake up here in the USA?

Good piece Mike. To bad our country has leaders who are afraid to do anything for the country but give it away.

"The Swiss have failed to give a clear signal for diversity, freedom of religion and human rights," said Omar Al-Rawi, integration representative of the Islamic Denomination in Austria, which said its reaction was "grief and deep disappointment."
This type of comment makes me laugh as there is no way any sort of diversity is even considered, let alone tolerated in any of the fundamentalist Islamic countries.

Egg Zactly. Just go ahead and try to erect a Christian church with steeple and cross in their countries and see what happens. Hypocrites.
Walter, you need to show us how to contact your lawmakers so we can congratulate them on a job well done.

My friend...a little history. Several orthodox Christian faiths have maintained churches and monastic facilities in the Middle East for centuries...well before Islamic faiths became dominant in the region. For example, the Armenian Orthodox Church has major religious centers in just about every country in the region, including Syria, Iraq and Iran. I have folks in Tehran who have never been bothered by anyone from Ringo's forces.
Course...the Eastern Orthodox Christians didn't go a viking on any crusades...they already lived in the region.

I am talking about today, not several eons ago. I realize there are Christian churches in the Islamic world. But today, the very idea of "diversity" in faith does not exist in the ME. In fact, I would think that the way these churches and mosques got mixed together is related to who won the last war.

Well at least we have freedom of religion over here in the USA.
It sounds like the Swiss are adopting some of the same ignorant concepts as the Taliban. Maybe the Swiss need to replace their government with their predominate church?

Just not much freedom from religion...
Although we do have porn and can buy beer on Sunday now, still have to go to the local church to vote though. 
Religion is merely the oldest form of government just as corrupt and deadly.
I like the "mutilation of genitals" dig, wonder if removing foreskins counts? (oh wait, that's us)  |

Wellll, since I started this thread, I would like to say that I am a Christian and in no want to see this turned into an anti-any-religion thread. I see the Minarette's issue as a political one. If one popped up in my neighborhood, I would protest it from a political POV. Add to it the fact that in modern day Islamic regions, such stuff would not be tolerated from Christians and Jews and you begin to get my drift. At some point, someone is going to bring up churches and their bell towers. Fair enough. But read my previous point again. Add to it the 5 times a day call to prayer and it becomes a huge problem.
Mike

The main difference between the religions is the economic conditions they reside in. If the US economy sinks to the levels of the late 70's you'll see our armed forces recruitment go up. I joined the Navy for these very reasons, to escape the crappy future my home town offered. This is in reality what many of these "recruits" are also running from. My Church was very supportive of my decision to join the military. 
I don't think it's political or some concern over noise ordnances, these folks are just fed up with Muslums and would like them to get the hell out of their country.
I can't lie, I have similar feelings about the Southern Baptists... Although technically, I'm in their country.  |

Mikie...the spread of Islam did in fact win the war. They even stopped the Khan's offspring. But rather than destroy the Orthodox Christian (and Jewish, as a matter of fact) institutions, they protected them. You might want to read up on it a bit.
If fact, Catholic crusaders even attacked Orthodox Christians.
Not suggesting that everything is muy perfecto throughout the region, but let's not broadbrush reality to fit an argument.
As for the Swiss...a hoorah moment, nothing more.
