Much MSM harrumphing has broken out about the Swiss anti-Minaret vote - such as this limp-wristed comment from The Wall Street Journal. In America, the spectacle of the Peasants defending their culture is still more frightening than the Muslim onslaught. A more astute comment has appeared on the U.K.
In Switzerland, voters in local elections get a chance to approve or disapprove of individual immigrants, and I remember how this horrified Raoul Lowery Contreras--Steve Sailer wrote in 2000--
Aren't we constantly lectured that illegal aliens do the work Americans don't do? And aren't illegal aliens often hired to do lawn work for Americans?
Here's a horrific story about a trusting lady who hired illegal aliens to do her lawn work. She provided them work and was kind to them. The illegals (from El Salvador in this case) returned her kindness by killing her.
It's great news that the Swiss have voted to ban minarets, despite the propaganda blitz from business and government elites that characterized the defense of western values as xenophobic and unwelcoming. Business fears the sort of boycott that Denmark faced from the Muslim world over the cartoon controversy a few years back.
With commendable indifference to Political Correctness and the orders issued by their own political elite, the Swiss appear to have voted to ban the construction of Minarets in their country.
Minaret ban approved by 57 per cent of voters Swissinfo.ch November 29, 2009
Wow, I would have thought that Britain already has plenty of resident hostiles, like the Islam4UK bunch that demands sharia law in the country. Plus a poll taken in 2006 found that 40 percent of Muslims living in the UK want sharia to replace British law.
