What does aggressiveness have to do with Islamic law? And what does minarets have to do with Islam? Just because most Mosques have a minaret or two? hmm, what do they mean by “and aggressive Islam, it’s a symbol of Islamic law.”
What does aggressiveness have to do with Islamic law?
And what does minarets have to do with Islam? Just because most Mosques have a minaret or two?

The minute you have minarets in Europe it means Islam will have taken over" Its obvious what they mean by this...its like the French banning hijabs in school...to 'stop secularism', but looking beyond this idea of 'lets all be one'...it shows an underlying message to all the Muslims out there...they want u out, the sooner the better, and if it takes time...like what Zain Bhikha says in his nasheed "Every step makes up the mile, even though it takes a while"..lol, but its true! Quite irrelevant, i must admit...but i still like that line, so i thought id put it in somewhere! :P But yeh, u get wat i mean about the minarets? That could well be the case, but look at whats been quoted again:

But then I had a think about it. I think what the Swiss are trying to do is comparable to the Islamic system of Ahl ul Dhimmah, where (from what I understand) non-Muslims may not have their religious buildings taller than the local mosque. By banning the minaret but not mosques, the Swiss are making a statement that they are allowing Muslims to live in Switzerland but also that the country is secular/Christian, not Islamic. That's just how I see things anyway. Feel free to disagree. :) At first this also seemed completely ridiculous to me. But then I had a think about it.

The thing is Switzerland claims to be a democracy, Saudi Arabia isnt. In Democratic nations there should be certain freedoms that people have, right? A minaret on a musalla/masjid does not pose any threat to their secular values whatsoever. They must believe this will decrease the number of European converts to Islaam or something…they are just pissed that more and more Europeans are converting to Islaam.

And they cant do anything about it…

Good point.

Muslims in Switzerland are not at all invisible. Just have a look at Brother Tariq Ramadhaan (see Shaikh Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariq_Ramadan) I suppose that it is now over with Switzerland's neutral attitude towards anything which has to do with politics. I like beirut's comment about democracy. So true! Wasalaam. Quote:”, and because the Muslims living there were too invisible to show what Muslims are really like.”
