Swiss Minarets or western intolerance?...Decide what?

Some argue--"non-muslims are not even allowed into mecca and no other religions are tolerated in muslim countries"

I am surprised at these ignorance utterances. The Islamic world is filled with churches in places where there are christian minorities. Yes saudi arabia doesnt have that but then again, how many mosques are there in the VATICAN?? and its not like Muslims are free to worship all over the christian world as not all of the christian world follows religious freedom. These mongers need to check their facts before they speak.
switzerland claims to be a democratic secular country not a church-state or a opressive state hence why you cant use the same kind of standards of countries with dictators as thats hypocrisy. By the way, count how many churches there are in Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Egypt alone and then compare that to how many mosques there are in the entire EU!!

If a muslim country had voted against building churches in a Islamic country the "holders of democratic values" would say nothing right? you would just say "we respect their honesty and we will not condemn it"? Yeah right, you guys would have bombed that country to pieces in the name of bringing it democracy! My God, Isn't their a limit to your hypocrisy

why are we trading and traveling to these people lands? Just look at the reality: they need us more than we need them yet we tolerate their insults intolerance and hatred continually.

If you do not know what happened during the Dark Ages in Europe you should read about this European era. And if you do not know who helped Europe emerge from its Darks Ages you should read about that too. And if you do not know who inspired Saint Thomas Acquinas to reconcile between Faith and Reason you should read about that too. Watch "Islam Empire of Faith", that will tell better about historical facts.

I read through a news that politicians and people are taking steps to reopen a historic Christian Seminary in Istanbul.Senem Ozer, US opines that Europe is banning a small community mosque, while caving into fears of their own fringe nationalistic fears. I think it's clear who is more "European" in this regard. Turkey is certainly more European than Switzerland today.

(I wanted to vent out my frustration..thanks to my own conscience and other websites i have referred,like Al Manar,for their inputs)
