Same ol' same ol'

'It's a harsh message for Swiss Muslims, many of whom were born in Switzerland. There are fears that the campaign against minarets will provoke growing resentment against Swiss society.
"I think Swiss Muslims will be angry and bitter over this," said Reinhard Schulze, professor of Islamic Studies at Berne University. "And we know that anger and bitterness among a community can lead to radicalisation, even to militancy." '

Let us have mosques with Minarets, or we'll start to blow shit up. Did I get that right? Just saying, because I seem to have heard this script before... Oh I remember now, EVERYWHERE IN EUROPE. The clash of civilisations is here, has been here since at least the early eighties. At least the Swiss seem to have a clear and straightforward understanding of this.

'"But we don't want minarets. The minaret is a symbol of a political and aggressive Islam, it's a symbol of Islamic law. The minute you have minarets in Europe it means Islam will have taken over. We have our civil laws here," insisted Mr Freysinger. "Banning minarets would send a clear signal that our European laws, our Swiss laws, have to be accepted. And if you want to live here, you must accept them. If you don't, then go back."'

If only the rest of Europe understood how Moslems understand the freedom we allow them: as a tacit acceptance that we agree to be dominated by them.
