A 'neutral' Switzerland is no longer neutral
Reader comment on item: The Swiss Ban on Minarets: A Possible Turning Point
in response to reader comment: Poor choice to lead a moral cause
Submitted by Ghulam Muhammed, Mumbai (India), Dec 1, 2009 at 23:28
The apparent 'moral compass' is in fact, a revival of fascist hijacking of Europe's democratic system to organise another Kristalnicht coup, step by step, country by country. The saying about 'today they came for the Jews, tomorrow they will come for the Christians' is coming true. This time they came for the Muslims. That changes nothing as far as their agenda is concerned.
