EU, United Nations and Turkey Gang Up on Switzerland Following Minaret Ban

The European Union, the United Nations and Turkey have ganged up on Switzerland following that country’s brave decision to ban the further construction of minarets.

Leading the charge against the democratic will of the Swiss people is that country’s so-called justice minister and dreadful liberal, Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf. She has already announced that the minaret ban could be struck down by the European Court of Human rights because it “contradicts the European Convention on Human Rights.”
Although Switzerland is not formally part of the EU, it presides over the European Court of Human Rights, which rules on breaches of the convention.

Meanwhile, the UN Human Rights Commissioner, a lady rejoicing in the name Navi Pillay, has said that the ban is “discriminatory and puts it on a collision course with international law.”
Ms Pillay condemned the vote as “anti-foreigner scare-mongering” and called the result “deeply divisive.”
She said the ban could “violate fundamental liberties” and questioned whether “human rights” ought to be subject to popular votes.
The condemnation was echoed by Turkey, which hopes to become the first Muslim member of the European Union.

In a statement, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said that the Swiss vote “violated basic human rights and freedoms.” The Turks called on Switzerland to “correct” the decision.
The Italian government has in the interim indicated that it might also hold a referendum on the issue of banning minarets.

Cabinet minister Roberto Calderoli said Italy “should confirm its Roman Catholic roots and hold a vote as soon as possible.”Mr Calderoli said the Swiss decision was a triumphant “yes to bell towers and no to minarets that served as an important example for other European countries losing touch with their Christian identities.
“Respect for other religions is important, but we’ve got to put the brakes on Muslim propaganda or else we’ll end up with an Islamic political party like they have in Spain,” he said.

Italy has one of the tallest minarets in Europe standing just three feet shorter than St Peter’s Basilica, at the Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre in Rome. Italy has around 1.2 million Muslims, making Islam the second religion after Catholicism.

If the Swiss didn't want that they should have referended this too back in 1999.

In the course of the 1999 constitutional revision, the Federal Assembly decided to codify that case law in the form of a comprehensive bill of rights, which is substantially congruent with the rights guaranteed in the ECHR, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Just when a democratic country makes headway, the socialists step in and reassert their control.

It would actually cease to be a democracy as one the fundamental principles in every democracy is the inalienability of the individuals rights(granted in any constitution) which cannot be curbed in any circumstance to serve the will of the majority.

I want to know why people aren't up in arms against these terrorist organizations. (EU, UN)

Silly woman, I wonder if people like her understand what hypocritical idiots they sound? Or is it more to the point they don’t actually care?

People need to understand exactly what people like Ms Pillay mean when they speak of “liberty” and “rights”…..

Democracy is mob rule. If the mob don't want it, the stones are counted up and the issue is thrown off a cliff. The EU and the UN bypass this completely under the guise of 'human rights' and 'liberty'. It's nothing short of global governance and NWO.

I'm sorry but when you sign a contract it is expected that you follow it. And in any case this contract is quite fair as you can break it whenever you wish so.
But there's another thing stepping in the way which is their own constitution, which actually can be revised through a referendum, but i just don't see the Siss willing to give upon religious freedom.

Pure bullshit. With the grid of control the EU is suffering under, let's see how far a referendum would get you.
