Anti-Minaret Online Referendum

[Grallon]

On Nov. 29th the citizens of Switzerland will be called to approve or disaprove a ban on the construction of muslim minarets in their country.  My new avatar is the poster of the YES camp, and the source of major anti-racism handwringning from what I read.

The Swiss case is merely one of the many symptoms of the increasing unsease in the West regarding the numerous excesses of multiculturalism.

So are you in favor or not of such a ban?

Absolutely not? Unless ya'll want us to start voting on your rights, Grallon.

[Sheilbh]

Architecture the latest excess of multiculturalism.

No.

To which I'll reply what I usually reply: show me throat-cutting, bomb-exploding, plane- highjacking, honor-killing, religious-creeping homos, in vast numbers, and I'll accept this moral equivalence as a valid argument.  Actually if you can find one, just one, that isn't a psychopath mind you, and I'll concede the point.

I think it's the opposite of moral equivalence to insist that all people have the same rights.  Surely the moral equivalence is that one's rights can and should be limited according to the behaviour of your group represented by its most extreme and violent elements.

We would need to ban Irish pubs as well

And Americans.

Hrmm. I dunno. I can't help but suspect that more Americans have been killed by gays spreading AIDS than by "throat-cutting" Muslims.

We'd have to ban pubs

I won't rest until everybody lives in a split-level in the 'burbs.  That way everyone is a proper person.

Except poor people. They are often smelly.

[DisturbedPervert]

If I were Swiss I'd vote yes

Why would I care about minarets?
