Speaking of faggot Mooselimbs, where's Vile Wahabbist?  He still post on EUOT, or is he dead now?

Last time I checked, he was studying in California, starring in college musicals and dressing up as Tinkerbell for Halloween.

Don't ask how I know.

Incidently I found a site with muslim gay porn... Quite arousing!  So different from the overly staged, overly expressive straight guys doing gay porn for money one gets from the US or Europe.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The Swiss voted to ban minarets...

QuoteSwiss voters favour minaret ban: exit polls

(AFP) – 6 hours ago

GENEVA — Voters in a referendum on Sunday voted in favour of imposing a blanket ban on the building of minarets in Switzerland, public television reported, citing exit polls.

With ballot-counting still underway, the exit polls suggested that the proposal -- put forth by far-right politicians -- enjoyed around 59 percent support.

Prior to the referendum, opinion polls indicated that more Swiss would oppose rather than support the ban.

Earliest results after polls closed at mid-day (1100 GMT) showed that at least four cantons -- all in German-speaking Switzerland -- want a ban on minarets.

Partial results also showed that Lucerne is for the ban, while French-speaking cantons Geneva and Vaud are against.

The Swiss People's Party (SVP) -- Switzerland's biggest party -- had forced a referendum under Swiss regulations on the issue after collecting 100,000 signatures within 18 months from eligible voters.

It claims that minarets -- the turrets or towers attached to mosques from where Muslims are called to prayer -- symbolise a "political-religious claim to power."

The Swiss government has asked voters to reject the call, arguing that accepting a ban would bring about "incomprehension overseas and harm Switzerland's image."

Switzerland, a nation of 7.5 million people, has an uneasy relationship with its Muslim minority of around 400,000. Islam is its second largest religion after Christianity.

Four minarets have so far been built in Switzerland and the construction of a fifth is planned.

In the run-up to the referendum, a mosque in Geneva was vandalised for the third time during the anti-minaret campaign, local media reported Saturday.

Determined to stop the SVP from gaining sympathisers, Bern issued several statements calling on the Swiss to vote against the proposal.

Swiss President Hans-Rudolf Merz made a video broadcast to the nation, saying: "Muslims should be able to practice their religion and have access to minarets in Switzerland too. But the call of the muezzin will not sound here."

However, an opinion poll published a day after Merz's broadcast found that support for a ban had increased three percentage points from a month ago to 37 percent, while those who opposed the ban remained unchanged at 53 percent.

In a bid to push their case, the SVP, which had been accused of xenophobia with their election poster campaign in 2007, has once again turned to controversial tactics.

Its latest poster campaign depicts a burqa-clad woman against a background of a Swiss flag upon which several minarets resembling missiles are erected, sparking an uproar in some quarters.

Switzerland's Commission Against Racism said the campaign defamed the Muslim minority, stirred up hatred and could threaten public peace.

Religious groups, including Christians, Jews and Muslims, have also come out in a rare show of unity against the right-wing proposal.

On the diplomatic front, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary general of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, had earlier expressed quiet confidence that Switzerland would turn down the ban.

"We are sure that the people of Switzerland will reach the best consensus and will take the best decision -- this is an old democratic society," Ihsanoglu said.

Ironic, given that you guys were the ones the perpetrated the Holocaust and the post-Holocaust festivities.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

The thing is, the Swiss might be the one nation in Europe that has the spine to put down violent protests by Muslims.
