Forums - General - Switzerland bans minarets.

Mise on 02 December 2009

Yep.

Direct democracy isn't the saintly form of government that some people think it is, but a dictatorship of the majority, and this vote shows it pretty damn well.

And Slimebeast might want to elaborate on his case some more, since I can't really see tolerance being the main reason for any of those little incidents.

The banning of Minarets is a direct attack against the Islamic religion. Anti-Muslim stance has been expressed in a lot of Western world countries since the 9/11 World Trade Centre attack.

The banning of Minarets is racist and an attack on the Islamic faith and Muslims.

BTW: Jews and Christians have caused a lot more problems in this world throughout than Muslims.

Yeah because of ocurse it isnt like the Islamic world went hysterical about the danish cartoons remember?

Considering you get countries that ban any other public worhsip then islam ,i dont see how their being hard done by.

It's shocking to see some peoples' true colors come out in threads like these.

All this tolerance and wussyness does no good whatsoever. It only teaches foreigners to become more arrogant and demanding. Give them something and they'll just demand more. And all of a sudden the natives are the oppressed miniority and the old culture is gone. History has shown this time and time and time again.

I can't understand how all you saints are unable to see it.

America is going to be a majority Latino country in a few decades and I don't see this country's culture falling apart at the seams. In fact, we're already coming close to a non-majority culture already... some states like California already are that way.

I don't see anyone rioting in the streets of Los Angeles... unless the Lakers win a championship, that is.

You've been gone for far too long, it seems.

Err, where has history taught us this?

In Kosovo for example, slavs vs muslims. The Indians in S America vs the Spanish. Indians in N America vs the English. The Tutsis vs Hutus in Rwanda.

I was going to ignore this conversation except for a few quips, but this right here is giving me a headache.

To clarify, are you actually comparing "tolerance and wussiness" with how the natives treated the conquistadors and the English in the Americas?
