Comments on: Analysis: The utterly idiotic Swiss minaret building ban http://www.yalibnan.com/2009/12/02/analysis-the-utterly-idiotic-swiss-minaret-building-ban/ World News Live from Lebanon Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:54:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jessie http://www.yalibnan.com/2009/12/02/analysis-the-utterly-idiotic-swiss-minaret-building-ban/#comment-751 Jessie Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:18:23 +0000 http://www.yalibnan.com/?p=994#comment-751 We live in a modernised society, but yet it is full of ignorant minded individuals who attack another faith's architecture of their Place of Worship. Has the world not got better issues at hand! Look towards global warming and poverty! These are the issues governments should focus on. If the minarets of mosques really are a problem then the Swiss government should use a DEMOCRATIC approach.One which doesn't involve dictating to Muslims that their minarets are displeasing! You do not see USA limiting the height and constructions of their sky scrapers nor do you see the Russians complaining about the size of the Kremlin. Lastly, many women i have spoken to wear the Burka by choice! No Muslim man can force a Muslim women to adorn herself in a Burka. Islam has provided Muslim women with a voice. No government intervention is necessary to fight their corner. So maybe President Sarkozy and his pals should back off them! As for the Swiss they need to get themselves a hobby!

But at the end of the day we do all know that there are Christians in KSA, working or living, such as some Lebanese Maronites, so banning any religious sites anywhere in the world is wrong, despite the fact they might be a minority.

Muslims may design minarets as rockets but don't blame the picture for the facts. As you mention the muslim brotherhood you should know it is arabic and not "homegrown" european. The swiss peoples party at least accepts 4 languages as equal among others and the freedom of religion without a jiza. Islam does n'either of both. And finally: the veil is the quran but the minarett is not. The minaret ban is absurd but most of the reactions against it are even worse.

If anything, to support the ban on burqas is to restrict, neigh force, women to properly practice a religion as they see fit. Not once did I see a rally FOR such a ban by 'ex-burqa' ladies. the author of the article did the same mistake he is criticising – he asks the swiss why they are rallying pointlessly and foolishly against minarets when they are a cultural and traditional jewel of no harm to themselves, but at the same time the author is almost supporting the ban on burqas just because he believes they are some evil, predated and oppressive act.
