Anti-minaret poster campaign divides Swiss cities

Good. It's about time the Muslims learned that if they don't tolerate Christianity and atheism, we won't tolerate their religions here.

Why do you hate freedom?

I don't. It's them who hate freedom. If they're not willing to allow our women to drive in Saudi Arabia, or for atheists and Christians to practice their rights, then I don't see why we should respect their rights and it's ludicrous that we do.

1.) Why are individual muslim immigrants responsible for what governments in the Middle East do against Christians? What you're advocating is punishing someone for something they didn't do.

2.) If we're serious about being liberal democracies that care about individual rights, then it doesn't matter what other countries do in that regard. We're supposed to be setting an example here.

3.) Your opinion here is very anti-libertarian, and to be perfectly honest, borderline fascist.

1) Try reading the Qu'ran

2) We should care about individual rights, which is why we should challenge them over their theocratic laws.

3) No, my opinion is logical. Also, don't use the word fascist out of context. The fact is, if I'm fascist for saying what I said, so is Islam, and of course you don't want to say that seeing as it might be 'OMG!' offensive to someone.

[k-onmmunist]

1.) Who cares about the content of their religious book? We're talking about individual rights that are being abused by the government.

2.) Whose theocratic laws? Did the Muslims immigrants here in Europe make them?

3.) Incorrect. I very strongly oppose Islamic government in the Mideast. BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE!

1) You don't think that has some influence on them?

2) Theocratic laws in the Muslim world.

3) Again, I'd hardly describe the Qu'ran as a peace-loving tome.

[k-onmmunist]

I give up. It's like talking to a brick wall.

No. It's talking to people who fail to see the evils in religion that is like talking to a brick wall.

[k-onmmunist]

That's ok. I'm sure the BNP agrees with you.

No, the BNP are actually pro-Muslim. Get it right you fool. Also, the BNP are theocrats as well, given their love of Christianity, which is just as bad. So don't you DARE associate me with those idiots.

[k-onmmunist]

You must be logged in to read this quote.

This is on the BNP's site. It sounds quite similar to what you say.

Wow, so what? I'm sure you sound similar to communism on some issues, doesn't mean I should associate you with it. Given that the BNP support a socialist economic policy, nationalism and racism, the fact that you're associating me with them is laughable.

[k-onmmunist]

Now I'm confused. You are now admitting that the BNP is nationalist and racist?

But just a few posts ago, you claimed they were pro-Muslim. Which is it now?

<N>

ISLAM ISN'T A RACE.

Yes, the BNP is nationalist and very likely racist. But, come on, their leader has shared a platform with well known Islamist nutter cleric Abu Hamza before. If you're going to claim I'm a racist for not having a positive opinion of Islam, then fine. In that case, I would be a racist. But the term is not used for that.

[k-onmmunist]

If you're going to claim I'm a racist for not having a positive opinion of Islam, then fine.

As in most debates, you're completely missing the point.

I don't give a damn what you think of Islam. You can piss on the Koran for all I care. It's about protecting the minority from the majority.

Individual rights are at stake here. Guilt by association is absurd. Why should immigrant muslims be refused rights because governments they've never voted for (and btw, even if they had....it's not a reason to go down to that level ourselves.) restrict rights on Christians.

What you're doing here is looking for a reason to support state sanctioned discrimination against Muslims. 

I don't support state sanctioned discrimination against ANYONE. This issue is rather ridiculous to begin with considering there are only 4 minarets in Switzerland to begin with, which kind of blows the issue to Daily Mail proportions.

[k-onmmunist]

Well limiting the rights of religious minorities qualifies as discrimination in my book.

And why is the number of minarets in Switzerland (I believe it's 2 actually...not sure though.) have anything to do with the underlying principle?

It's the ban supporters blowing it out of proportion, if anything.

Wikipedia claims it's 4. I'm saying the entire issue is blown out of proportion by both sides.

[k-onmmunist]

No, stop right there. You can't weasel your way out here by trying to neutralize the debate by claiming both "sides" are to blame for this.

You have clearly stated your support to limit the rights of a religious minority!

How dare you claim that supporters of freedom are blowing anything out of proportion.

Lol. Ultimately, it wasn't the state that was to blame, given it was done by referendum, so unless you're going to go round saying 'SWISS PEOPLE SUCK LOL ' then I don't know who else you can blame for this.

[k-onmmunist]

Disgusting.

Good. It's about time the Muslims learned that if they don't tolerate Christianity and atheism, we won't tolerate their religions here.

So you want to be as stupid and intolerant as them ? What a formidable libertarian !

So you admit Islam is intolerant? What a formidable social liberal!

Radical islam is intolerant, as radical christianism and radical atheism. Radical islam is just more vocal.

Religion altogether is intolerant, in most cases.

It doesn't concern me how this ban came into effect.
 
I'm talking about your support for it. How can you justify it and, in that process, not look like a freedom-hating idiot?

Retribution.

Nah. Just let them wallow in their silliness.

You're one of my favorite posters. Just wanted to get that out there.

How surprising!

[k-onmmunist]

I love it when a circle jerk comes together!

[k-onmmunist]

Retribution.

Yet again, you're going around in circles here.

Retribution for what? Do you support punishing people for something out of their control?

This is like wanting to throw both husband and wife in jail if the husband is convicted of murder.

Aforementioned laws against 'apostates'.

[k-onmmunist]

But you didn't address my two hypothetical questions.

I've been called a fascist, asked if I want another Holocaust, and been compared to defenders of slavery. I guess I lose.

This is what you get when you try talking to the sort of people who think religion is wonderful.
