Switzerland Votes on Muslim Minaret Ban

[Red Dwarf]

The only thing Osama Bin Laden achieved is making people hate islam.

So true.

before 2001 no one hate islam.

Only you can say that. You people tasted the bad effects of terrorism only after 2001. Before that everyone thought that it will happen in poor third world countries. We are facing it for decades, and will never say after 2001.

 

[Awesome]

Just because the question of how Pakistanis would react about Christians:

 

[Awesome]

It's a christian country, so you are saying they should change there culture to fit in with islam?

What if everyone said that Pakistan had to change it's culture to fit in with Christianity? No one in Pakistan would agree to that would they? double standards.

Then They Should Rename country to " Christian Republic Of Switzerland " & banned All other religions

I should put a question to your genral knowledge.

Switzerland has no Official religion!!

Switzerland has no official state religion, though most of the cantons (except Geneva and Neuchâtel) recognize official churches, which are either the Catholic Church or the Swiss Reformed Church. These churches, and in some cantons also the Old Catholic Church and Jewish congregations, are financed by official taxation of adherents.[99]

Christianity is the predominant religion of Switzerland, divided between the Catholic Church (41.8% of the population) and various Protestant denominations (35.3%). Immigration has brought Islam (4.3%, predominantly Kosovars, Bosniaks and Turks) and Eastern Orthodoxy (1.8%) as sizeable minority religions.[100] The 2005 Eurobarometer poll[101] found 48% to be theist, 39% expressing belief in "a spirit or life force", 9% atheist and 4% agnostic. Greeley (2003) found that 27% of the population does not believe in God.[102]


A modern church, the Church of San Giovanni Battista, designed by Mario Botta in MognoThe country is historically about evenly balanced between Catholic and Protestant, with a complex patchwork of majorities over most of the country. One canton, Appenzell, was officially divided into Catholic and Protestant sections in 1597.[103] The larger cities (Bern, Zürich and Basel) are predominantly Protestant. Central Switzerland, as well as the Ticino, is traditionally Catholic. The Swiss Constitution of 1848, under the recent impression of the clashes of Catholic vs. Protestant cantons that culminated in the Sonderbundskrieg, consciously defines a consociational state, allowing the peaceful co-existence of Catholics and Protestants. A 1980 initiative calling for the complete separation of church and state was resoundingly rejected, with only 21.1% voting in support.

It is my belief that muslim countries should stay muslim countries and christian countries should stay christian countries.

Then you are an anachronism and belong in medieval Europe.

Congratulations, you would fit right in with the Taliban, the Evangelical Christians, and the Zionist fanatics -- all birds of the same feather.

How would muslim countries like it if thousands of christians flooded the country by immigration and then started building churches everywhere and other christian symbols? They just wouldn't stand for it.

You really need to get out more often and learn about the real world outside the Murdoch media cocoon.

Only you can say that. You people tasted the bad effects of terrorism only after 2001. Before that everyone thought that it will happen in poor third world countries. We are facing it for decades, and will never say after 2001.

The Sikhs in 1984, the Muslims in 2002 and the Christians in South India have known about Hindu terrorism for a long time. The Buddhists experienced Hindu terrorism firsthand thousands of years ago.

No, Osama bin Laden just helped the Christian countries to unmask themselves. Now, we can see clearly the real faces of Christian societies.

Or, better "Crusader Republic of Switzerland."

Xdrive how would you like an australian build church in Indonesia closed down or voted and banned any church? Take the example of Pakistan more than atleast 15 churches small and large churches we Pakistanis didn't say and or think that these churches are a danger to Islam or might christianize Pakistan.

You're one paranoid person on this forum with Islam and muslim women.
Your statement Islam does not fit with these countries culture does not fit because large number of Islamic countries have many churches non of these countries ever complained about it I've never seen US/Canada talking about banning it i guess mentality of europeans is same from the period of medieval insecure narrow minded and blah blah..How would you like nude resorts in Indonesia are closed down this is one thing unacceptable..

How would muslim countries like it if thousands of christians flooded the country by immigration and then started building churches everywhere and other christian symbols?
There are already hundreds of churches in Islamic countries right from Iraq to Pakistan. google it..no we welcome christians to immigrate here but you won't follow laws of Islamic countries. building churches everywhere? not even in Muslims countires masjids are build everywhere..don't spew out utter rubbish.senseless..

Why do you call it an "Australian" church? I don't believe churches have a nationality.

As for your question i wouldn't care if a church got closed down in indonesia. Indonesia is a muslim country, not a christian country. Also i am not a christian. 1 misconception all middle eastern people have is that they think all western people are christian. Barely anyone in my country has a religion.

No, Osama bin Laden just helped the Christian countries to unmask themselves. Now, we can see clearly the real faces of Christian societies.

Christian societies? The united states of America is not a christian country, it has no official religion. I was correct in what i said, all osama bin laden did was make people hate muslims.

next time xdrive try to "research" a simple word if you know the meaning or change the flag lol i gotta creepy feeling about it.

Research what word? Change what flag? make sense, or don't speak at all please.

Then it can be said mosques don't have a religion either, because they are open of everyone.

BAHAHAHH. Do you realize how stupid what you just said is?

I said.

"Why do you call it an "Australian" church? I don't believe churches have a nationality. "

You said "Then it can be said mosques don't have a religion either, because they are open of everyone." Thus implying that "Australia" is a religion which it is not.

Main article: Religion in Australia
Australia has no state religion. In the 2006 census, 64% of Australians were listed as Christian of any denomination, including 26% as Roman Catholic and 19% as Anglican. "No religion" (which includes humanism, atheism, agnosticism, and rationalism) accounted for 19% and is the fastest growing group (refer difference in census 2006 versus census 2001 results) and a further 12% declined to answer or did not give a response adequate for interpretation. The second largest religion in Australia is Buddhism (2.1%), followed by Islam (1.7%) and Hinduism (0.8%). Overall less than 6% of Australians identify with non-Christian religions.[102] Weekly attendance at church services in 2004 was about 1.5 million: about 7.5% of the population,[103] and religion does not play a central role in the lives of a large portion of the population.[104]

He is either Indian Hindu or Jewish Australian.

He has a soft sport for Israel and India, and always posts against Pakistan and Muslims.
