What a great idea! Maybe those who want these will go elsewhere – like back to the hell hole countries they came from where their behavior is compatible with others in their culture.

Well it’s about time that the Swiss, Danes etc., finally get their act together and deny those Islamic fascist their attempt to bring Jihad to these countries. Let them go back to their own countries and do what they wish…

Christians have been denied their symbols for years. Got to nip this in the bud…

Couldn’t happen to a more asinine religion.

Muslims have their own brand of violent cray-z. A truly diabolical belief system. Have a nice day!

That’s one tough homeowners’ association!

Good for the Swiss!

Now America needs to get some NADS and get on board to rid the world of this awful, brainwashing religion they call Islam.

Oh wait, America’s president is a Muslim.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Applause…Applause…Applause!

Keep your political ideology in your own failing-defunct part of the world.

Better yet, come to grips with the truth and begin to enjoy life!

Since when have THE SWISS allowed muslims to become part of their nation? 300,000 muslims in Switzerland? These are “temporary workers”…right?
Why would they want a death cult in their midst?

Travis   November 29th, 2009 - 12:53 pm

Europe could learn a lesson or two from the Swiss.

The Bubster   November 29th, 2009 - 2:01 pm

Muslims don’t need those minarets anyway. Just give ‘em a cave and a throw rug and they’ll be fine.

Gandhi's Fist   November 29th, 2009 - 2:31 pm

@Travis

Not only Europe, America could take a lesson or two away from this as well.

Soldier of Allah   November 29th, 2009 - 2:51 pm

We can build minarets in USA and in the next 100 years America will be be an Islamic State Inshallah.Maafi Mushkil.
Islam is the fastest growing religeon in the USA.

The USA will never be a theocracy. Go back to Yemen and beat your women there.

Gandhi's Fist   November 29th, 2009 - 3:22 pm

@Soldier of Allah

I agree, it is the fastest growing “religeon” mostly due to invaders, whoops, I mean immigrants or is it ingrates. Hard to figure out. In Gandhi’s humble, first person opinion, the smartest, most centered Imam in the world has about the theological relevance as a typical alter boy, say, in the Catholic faith. I’ve got an old shoe with more spirituality than an Imam.

Libs cannot remain in power forever, the true conservatives are coming and the open door policy of louts like the hell roasted Teddy Kennedy and Barrack Hussein Obama will be sent packing. Their soul purpose being, a reminder to the electorate of just how corrupt and insipid liberalism is. That level of corruption and inbred insipidness is second only–of course–to that demonstrated to the leaders & followers of Islam.

I will change my opinion when those the Islamic terrorists have killed are returned to life and their threat to the peace and freedom of every non Muslim is ended.

At least someone has the balls to stand up against political correctness. Now if we here in the States could get our spines back.

Outstanding! Lead on Swiss!   November 29th, 2009 - 5:20 pm

YES! A breakthrough in Europe! Let’s corral these crazies and herd them back to the desert of the Middle East where they belong!

A GREAT DAY FOR THE WORLD!

Soldier of the PIG Mohammad   November 29th, 2009 - 5:25 pm

Yo “Soldier”, Islam is the fastest growing ~religion~ amongst black inmates, leave the citizens out of you craziness.

You will find yourself lying in a puddle of your own blood if you try to force the garbage called Islam on me!

America – by far the most HEAVILY ARMED and ready to fight country ISALAM will ever encounter!

EEuro   November 29th, 2009 - 5:50 pm

Americans are cowards, you elected a muslim as president and brag about guns that we will never use except for training.

You have thousands of mosques and millions of muslims only because of the oceans that help you.

In the future you will have to deal with at least one hundred million latinoes, sixty to eighty million blacks and one hundred million muslims.

The best case scenario you will live in ever decreasing islands and then disappear.

EEuro   November 29th, 2009 - 5:55 pm

Eastern Europe has zero mosques after hundreds of years of war with the muslims and with the help of Russia and against UK and the Ottoman Empire we defeated Islam.

I am so glad that our enemy the British will have their own taste of Islam(their ally in the war against Christian E Europe.

I pray to God that Islam will take over UK(the ally of the turks against us).

UK is already a mulatto nation.

Thor   November 29th, 2009 - 8:14 pm

Right on! America take heed. Maybe the Europeans are seeing the light and growing a backbone. To hell with these muslims. It is their way or the highway. Push them into the sea. Either accept our culture or leave the country whether America or Europe.

What next? “Voters outlaw alternative music” or “Voters reject freedom of assembly” or “Voters outlaw voting.”

pepito cojones   November 29th, 2009 - 9:21 pm

Islam is a gutter religion…

Jana   November 30th, 2009 - 12:23 am

Note how the government was encouraging the population to allow for the minarets claiming a ban would “upset” the Muslims. I love it that the general public mostly ignored this PC crap and voted against them anyway.

Gandhi's Fist   November 30th, 2009 - 12:35 am

@pepito cojones

My gutter is offended.

GOD BLESS THE SWISS   November 30th, 2009 - 12:35 am

THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES LEFT IN THE WORLD WITH TESTICLES.

ISLAMIC RADICALS ARE SATANIC EVIL DOERS.

IS OBAMA A MUSLIM OPERATIVE DESTROYING AMERICA FROM WITHIN?   November 30th, 2009 - 12:37 am

WELL, IS HE?

breitbart knows   November 30th, 2009 - 7:05 am

This is being called “right wing” in Europe but in reality a LOT of people support it, not just “right wingers”.

Of course no one in Europe asks why the swiss government has to be afraid of repercussions from wealthy muslims and muslim protestors…

And no one asks just WHY minaretts are not associated with a peaceful people…

There are a lot more left-of-center sympathizers in this country than y’all would like to think.

Try getting a permit to build a Church or Temple in a “tolerant” Islamic dominated location.

Well done Switzerland. I’m gonna buy myself a beautiful Swiss watch and a large piece of Swiss cheese for Christmas. A toast to Swiss Nationals from my side. Send those Islamists packing back in Swiss Red Cross Ambulance.

Can Muslims or Obama ever be good Americans or Swiss citizens?

Theologically – NO! Because: their allegiance is to Allah, the Moon God of Arabia, is their pagan god.

Religiously – NO! Because: no other religion or belief is accepted or tolerated in their world but Islam. Obama’s own gaffe, he stated he is Muslim on TV, is undeniable.

Scripturally – NO! Because: their allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam as the Koran states. Obama’s own gaffe stated there are 57 states, (as the Koran states 57 times) on TV, is undeniable.

Geographically – NO! Because: their allegiance is to Mecca (Arabia), to which they turn to in prayer five times a day, they must return to, and “god damn America” as Obama’s spiritual leader Rev. Wright stated, is undeniable.

Socially – NO! Because: their allegiance to Islam, and forbids them to make real (true) friendships with Christians, Jews or any infidel (non-Muslim) republican or demoncrat, only to Obama’s czars.

Politically – NO! Because: they must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and the destruction of America, who state the great satan (America) must be destroyed, Obama’s spiritual leader Rev. Wright stated many times (god damn America), as Obama is doing financially.

Domestically – NO! Because: they are instructed, it’s ok to marry up to four women and beat and scourge (mark) their wife or wives if they disobey them. Obama is the great black half white divider deliberately destroying America.

Constitutionally – NO! Because: they cannot accept the American Constitution, since it is based on Biblical principles and they believe the Bible to be corrupted by infidels, and Obama can’t prove any birth right to hold office.

Philosophically – NO! Because: Islam, Muhammad, and the Koran do not allow freedom of religion and expression, Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist, and every Muslim nation or government is either dictatorial (leaders) or by autocratic (religious mullah leaders) just like Obama’s appointed czars.

Spiritually – NO! Because: when Americans declare “one nation under God,” the Christian God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as our heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Koran’s 99 excellent names, Obama will admit to that, egotistically, “America is not christian nation”, Obama said it, undeniable.

Honestly – NO! Because: the Koran states its ok to cheat, lie to and kill anyone (infidels) who are not Muslim, just like Obama does.

Truthfully – NO! Because: Islam (Muslims) and Christianity are diametrically opposed to one another. Just ask any Sunni or Shiite living or dead (lol). Like Islam is a religion of peace, as is Obama’s a form of government for We the People.

Sexually – NO! Because: pedophilia is allowed by Islam, after all it was Muhammad’s (9) nine year old bride who eventually poisoned him. Just like Obama had killed his bl*w jobber driver man in Chicago.

Intellectually- NO! Because: Islam only believes in Islam, nothing else matters or is tolerated, just like Obama’s health care plan says, “take the pills” and die infidels (America).

Therefore consider and deliberate; perhaps the Swiss and Americans should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in their country, for obviously they cannot be “good” Muslims and “good” Swiss or Americans citizens at the same time, can they or he.

It needs powerful America to tell muslim countries what to do.
