Way to go Switzerland

Amen to that!

They (minarets & muezzin) make an excrusiating noise 5 times a day, so I don't blame them.

Not only that, the minaret itself is a symbol of conquest. Or as Turkey's PM said, minarets are Islams' missiles.

Are they planning to ban Church steeples or Synagogues next? It'd be only fair after all.

Like Canadian public schools that won't allow the use of the word Christmas at their "Holiday Concerts" but have no problem with using words like Kwanza, Ramadan, or Hanukah.

I know! All this 'Holiday' shit is driving me nuts! Which 'Holiday' is it? The 'Holiday-Holiday'?

It's Christmas. My kids go to Catholic schools. We Catholics can say 'Christmas'. There's a special bit for us in the BNA.

The rest of you lot are stuck with the PC Nazi's version.

I hope you all have a very merry Christmas! Happy Holidays my arse!

[Brenda]

I'm an Atheist, my kids go to a public school. And it is MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Just as it is Happy Hanukah, Happy Ramadan and Happy Easter.

As EB said: Happy holidays my ass!
My holidays are in Summer when I actually take days off to GO ON HOLIDAYS.

Proculation Proculation:

At last an European country standing against Islamization of Europe.

Britain has a bigger part, they got a very popular party that is generally against Islam. They got another that is just against extremist Islam. Which generally goes around protesting in the same areas those muslim extremists that expects the religious take over of Britain, turning the Buckingham Palance into a mosque and forcing the queen to turn muslim or get out of Britain.

Both parties have a decent ammount of supporters that help them protest.

Definately. Saying Merry Christmas is a little PC backlash that we can all take part in.

[Brenda]

I just got a note from school, btw, to order tickets to watch my kids take part in the CHRISTMAS CONCERT: "A Christmas Carol"

As it schould be.

Sort of.

Its only the minorets, not the mosques themselves.

But it is something at least.

Everything has to start somewhere

Nope...church steeples are part of Swiss heritage, and there aren't any steeples or minarets on synagogues. The people have spoken, something the left tends to dislike.

Yes, and as it has happened many times before in Europe, the majority has spoken to discriminate against a minority religious population.

In this case they are discriminating against a vociferously anti-Semitic, misogynistic, globally intolerant, political and religious movement and, in this context, I see no problem with that.

[EyeBrock]

Bart. Nicely put and I agree.

[xerxes]

So the Swiss are going after the Catholic Church now after all?

The Swiss are smarter than that. They control the Catholic Church and have done so for hundreds of years.
