Minarets yawn…

What rubbish some of you lot write. What religious freedom do those christians living in Arab countries have? Are there churches where they can worship – no – not allowed. Get your facts right before you write drivel. At least the Swiss get a choice. Most Europeans have to put up with decisions of politicians for their own selfish ends. Why else was the UK denied a referendum on the Lisbon treaty, and the Irish gov’t forced by the EU to hold a 2nd referendum. Democracy is dead in Europe!
Adam Smith, London

I’m not entirely sure who Smith is addressing here. In observing Proper BBC Impartiality, the HYS moderators have naturally ignored anyone not rabidly in favour of the minaret ban and filled the entire thread with the same post over and over, as if William Burroughs did 500 cut-ups of the same BNP leaflet and expelled them like half-digested coackroaches from an ailing gut clogging up the oesophagus of the internet. In fact, I like to imagine that the average HYS post is nothing more than the stream-of-consciousness fingerdribble of a smacked-up fuckhead. It’s the only explanation that doesn’t hurl me screaming into a fit of existential despair.

I have just been ’somewhat surprised’ to hear the BBC’s reporter’s comments about religious symbols that might be acceptable, pointing to the Christmas tree behind her. I beg rather strongly to differ, but the Christmas tree is NOT a ‘religious’ symbol in any way, shape or form; Yes, it has been adopted by western societies to be part of our Christmas tradition, but it is no more religious than the Christmas card, pudding or cracker! So, please, let’s not get minarets and trees in the same boat.
Jerome, Redhill

Unless it was, like, a fucking really big boat, of course, like a cruise liner or one of them ones that planes go on. Then it might be alright.

Well done the Swiss! At last a strong message is sent to all those Muslim extremists who think that people are too passive to oppose the takeover of their country. Until when for every mosque built in a christian country a church in a muslim country is allowed to be built, muslims should not take freedom of religion as granted. That might help them to understand the true meaning of sacrificing your own space in the name of tolerance!
Marco Furlan

Woof! Holding all Muslims responsible for the actions and infrastructures of all predominantly Muslim nations, from Bosnia and Herzegovina, through Iran to Indonesia… That kind of talk could make a man erect. Not me, though. I’m not an idiot.

Minarets and religion are just symptoms of a problem. Let’s face the facts. It is a natural instinct of humans to defend and preserve their racial background, culture and history. Anything perceived as a threat to those qualities is regarded by most as invasive and obnoxious, and so it has been throughout history. Man-made laws to eradicate so-called “racism” cannot change human inborn instinct.

So the Swiss vote should not surprise anybody. It’s the way we are made.
[Anglobert], Surrey, United Kingdom

Governing societies on base human instinct! It’s so simple! Why did no-one think of it before?

Can someone tell me – Are you allowed to build a Cathedral in Mecca?
Allan, Afghanistan

HA HA HA HA HA. No matter how many times you see this same clever point reiterated clever point reiterated clever point reiterated like a stuck CD player in Hell, it never stops being utterly fucking fascinating.

Mind, I haven’t checked for a few days, but I’m pretty sure Switzerland is still not a place of particular religious significance for Christians. Try building a mosque in the Vatican, Allan, see where that gets you. Shot, hopefully.

Instead of banning minarets and headscarfs Europeans should ban immigration from Muslim countries, then the issue of cultural transgression will be moot.Half measures will not save Europe, otherwise 50 years later you will have to fight a Reconquista Yugoslavian style or convert to to Islam.
Nick, New York

Believe me, I’ve tried – Lord, how I’ve tried! – but I just can’t think of a response to this that doesn’t invoke Godwin’s Law. Try it for yourself – it’s impossible!

I tire of hearing what Muslims are or are not. They are what they demonstrate themselves to be–if they don’t want to be known as a bunch of genocidal fanatics, perhaps they should alter their behavior. If Swiss voters don’t want their skylines to look like Baghdad, then they have a right to say so. Brits take note–you’re so intimidated that you won’t even sing carols or put up a Christmas tree for fear of offending the Muslims.

  10. on 04 Dec 2009 at 11:22 am Stuart F

    I think the real problem for the Swiss is that every other country in the world has its own impressive or memorable architecture – the churches of Italy, the Kremlin in Russia, the Eiffel Tower and palaces in France, Germany’s fairytale castles, Japanese temples and pagodas, the mosques and palaces of Istanbul, the castles of Scotland, American skyscrapers, the Houses of Parliament, the windmills and canalside houses of the Netherlands – even Luxembourg is unforgettable if you see it. But what has Switzerland got? The ski chalet. They’re clearly just worried that anything a Muslim builds in Switzerland is going to be more interesting and memorable than the indigenous Swiss architecture.

    Of course that doesn’t explain all the British fuckwits commenting on it. They’re just racist cunts.

  11. on 04 Dec 2009 at 11:29 am Jones

    I always assumed that Switzerland would have some giant, fuck-off clocks. Or buildings that could open wine bottles and act as compasses or… you get the idea.

    This is scarily similar to that awesome Stuart Lee sketch about political correctness GONE MAAAAAD.

    I do wonder about this one though. I’m yet to meet anyone who has been prevented from singing christmas carols or putting up a tree in their home. I have also never met anyone who has spent time languishing in jail having supplied their child with a conker and the words to baa baa black sheep.

    Having said that, I’m not completely fucking mental. So that might have something to do with it.

    Ignorance breeds fear , fear breeds bigotry , bigotry breeds insecurity , insecurity breeds hatred .
    Can a minaret , steeple or a dome alter or influence the conviction of any one ? Obsessive Phobia is the acid that starts to erode from within . What a sad , sad day for Switzerland it’s joined the ranks of the Talabands that brought down the statue of Buddha in Afghanistan . When will they be banning strip bars , casino’s , beauty salons and flying kites ?

    Try building a mosque in the Vatican, Allan, see where that gets you.

    The Vatican is a modern irrelevance. If you’d stopped heckling when Mr Griffin MEP was speaking, you’d know that Engerland is the home of Christianity – we had indigenous Xians here millennia before those filthy Europeans had even heard of it.

    And because I hate myself, I decided to read the thread for myself.

    Let the British be British, the Scots be Scottish, the Irish be Irish and the Swiss be Swiss in their own countries! Dont play the racist/religion card when its simply not needed.

    for me the problem isnt minarets, they can put up as many as they like just as long as they dont put fucking loudspeakers all over them. if there is a genuine problem with muslims forgetting what time the call to prayer is maybe they should create an iPhone app with automatic reminders. iPray or something.

    Where on CIF? Down near the bottom of this. I’m finding it works well in Richard Herring’s voice. “Who is the real expert?”, etc.

    And from the minaret thread, this.

    Look at a Hindu Temple right in front of Mumbai famous IIT in mid-road making 24 hrs traffic snarl causing intolerabe hardship to motorist and student and the public.

    I think my favourite CB quote is from

    http://cugerbrant.co.uk/COAL.html

    The simplest way to explain all this gobbledygook is; Imagine living in a land of perpetual budgets. What you give with one hand, someone else will take with the other. So everything evens out. Well on the stockmarket at least! But not to your benefit! Cuger Brant.
    With this logic, even the ‘Tata’ motor industry is green! You tweak the engine of a Tata Nano car, thus saving say 10% of its fuel consumption, then sell the offset to the Chinese. Notwithstanding that the more cars you produce, the more you are contributing to Carbon offsetting. Is it me? Or have I missed something?

    This is precisely what carbon credits are. And, like anything else “managed” by the United Nations, it will give birth to a whole new system of pocket-liners, fraudsters and corruption.
    Stephen Harper, Canadian Prime Minister

    It’s like Stephen Harper’s comment is directly following on from what CB is saying! It’s not at all like he’s taking two sentences out of context in an attempt to lend credibility to his inane ramblings!

    What he means is, as you’re giving something to the guy on the left (let’s call this a “hand job”), your other hand is receiving something from the guy on the right (let’s call this a “soggy biscuit”). Thus even when you’re giving something away, you’re left with an unpleasant taste in the mouth.

    Accidents [Bhopal] happen. What is worrying is if a similar incident occurred – then it would seem that lessons hadn’t been learned.

    One lesson that hasn’t be learned is how to move on after a major accident. The people of Bhopal seem to be frozen 25 years ago, dwelling on the past instead of looking to the future. It may seem hard, but people die or are disabled every day – most bereaved relatives and newly-disabled people just get on with life.

    Yeah, fucking funny that most modern versions of the Qur’an are entirely written in Arabic, and Islam is the religion predominantly practised in bits of the world with brown people in them, while you wank on about how Britain is a Christian country with Christian values. Isn’t it.

    Last time I checked, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Oman, Yemen, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, which all have churches, were Arab countries. And many of the Christians who worship in them are Arabs

    Nice try, but he was making a reference to Arabic being written right-to-left. Sorry to have to award you an “irony fail”. Just doing my job.

    Not a very good reference. He should have written it like this:

    .dam enog ssentcerroc lacitilop s’tI’
    tnaw ll’yeht txen,hcruhc a tsriF

    Oh great, it’s reformatted the text, so it reads from left to right. Add a preview button, and one for HTML formatting, Nelson. Please.

    The closest comparision for Switzerland is Dubai, where churches are allowed but may not build towers or ring bells.
    But this cannot be mentioned since Dubai are official “good arabs”.

    Saudi Arabia doesn’t allow churches at all, but they (also good arabs) are a fiefdom where the entire country is the personal possesion of a single western-backed family.

    Iran, does allow religous a degree of freedom, as the 25,000 Jewish Iranians often confirm.

    To really see the true idiocy of the Swiss ban one has to live in a catholic canton and be exposed for around two hours a day to their cacophonous belling. I live 200 metres from a catholic church and reckon quasimodo got a result.

    When did you last see a cuckoo clock factory in Saudi Arabia? Eh? EH? It’s one rule for them…..

    Damn, I missed my very own Arab-Christian thread!

    iPray does exist, incidentally.
