Switzerland: Multicultural Paradise?
gatestone institute ^ | May 21, 2013 | Soeren Kern

In March, the Swiss Federal Intelligence Service announced that a growing number of jihadists are being recruited in Switzerland. The number of robberies and assaults on Swiss trains has skyrocketed to such an extent that the Swiss government recently opted to equip transport police with firearms, and at least 1,400 women in Switzerland have been victims of forced marriages.

A controversial new report by the Swiss government claims that Muslim immigrants are so well integrated into Swiss society that no further federal policies or programs are needed to promote Muslim integration or to counter Islamic extremism.

...

since the beginning of the Arab Spring, the crime rate in Switzerland has doubled, and some politicians are now demanding that all male asylum seekers from North Africa and the Middle East provide DNA samples that would be stored in a data bank to help Swiss police investigate crimes.

In March, the Swiss Federal Intelligence Service (FIS) warned that a growing number of jihadists [holy warriors] are being recruited in Switzerland.

In September 2011, an immigrant group based in Bern called for the emblematic white cross to be removed from the Swiss national flag because as a Christian symbol it "no longer corresponds to today's multicultural Switzerland." In an interview with the Swiss newspaper Aargauer Zeitung, a Muslim activist said the cross has a Christian background, and while the Christian roots of Switzerland should be respected, "it is necessary to separate church and state" because "Switzerland today has a great religious and cultural diversity. One has to ask if the State wants to continue building up a symbol in which many people no longer believe."

He said, “NO! Don’t you know history? They want to take over.” They thought he was so mean!!

They should talk to Don Juan of Austria, who had to fight off the Turks at the gates of Vienna, which was just next door. I'm sure tons of Swiss fought there, too.

This is what happens when liberals purge history from the schools in favor of Barney the Dinosaur platitudes.

PC National Suicide

I can only hope that there will be a real global backlash, but its possibility seems dimmer and dimmer.

One unreported element of this story.....

European Muslims vote 90%-95% for Socialist candidates.

For decades, white European Leftists have actively encouraged the highest possible levels of Muslim immigration.

Yes, I know too well the Battles of Vienna and also Lepanto. Our friend was tearing his hear about their deafness, although the Swiss rallied for and held the minaret ban. (Not sure how the proposition read).
