Swiss vote on referendum to ban new minarets

[Riesstiu IV]

Hey Ben, can you give me a link to that crappy website you made? I could use a good laugh.

[Ramo]

Christians shouldn't be allowed to build churches until Ben stops being a lying bigot.

I've never made a website. Sorry.

Also, It should be noted that fundamentalist Sikhs and Hindus are known to indulge in honor killings.

Indeed point well taken.

Mormons too.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Aaaaaaaand a quick Google reveals cases among Coptic Christians too.

[BeBMan]

Pretty much everybody but Buddhists need to be deported from every country.

Buddhists are terrorists or something in Tibet.

[Elok]

Buddhists should not be allowed to build temples until such time as they publicly disown Blake and his child-eating ways. Maybe AAHZ too, though I'm not sure he actually understands the religion.

Poor Christians will never be able to build churches until Ben dies

So it's bigotry to insist that Muslims should abide by western standards of justice and religious freedoms?

[loinburger]

That's not what you're insisting. You're insisting that muslims in Europe be punished for the actions of muslims in the middle-east.

"Blah blah honor killings!" I'm pretty sure that muslims in Europe are prosecuted for honor killings, so this is a logical fallacy (I can't remember the name of the fallacy offhand, let's just go with "****ing retarded argument").

[BeBMan]

After reading the threadi again, I understand now better. We can just promote western standards of justice and religious freedom by limiting freedom of religion

Plus if the situation is bad for Christians/whatever in Saudi Arabia/whatever it will suddenly improve if you ban minarets in Switzerland

Have they banned the darkies yet or is this a two step process?

[Boris Godunov]

From your Time article.

So if one Arab country is an oppressive regime that ****s on other religions, then it's OK for another country to single out the religious faith of that country for persecution within its own borders. Gotcha.

The verb 'build' presumes that the churches in question do not predate Islam.

You're so dishonest. You asked if Arab countries allowed Christians to build churches, and I provided several examples, many of which were recently-built structures. The Aswan Cathedral was built in 1968, the Qatar church even more recently. Lebanon is full of newer churches, given its large Christian population. You also asked if Arab countries allowed Christians to worship publicly, and ALL of the links are examples of countries that do, whether it's in new or old churches.

Of course, why you're singling out Arab countries I'm not sure, since not all Muslim are Arabs by any stretch of the imagination.

We get it, Ben--you're a religious bigot and you think it's A-OK to persecute a religious minority so long as it isn't yours. You don't believe in religious freedom.

But French and Italians are darkies. They can't ban themselves, can they?
