If Libyans are anything like the Iranians I know, the reaction in Libya to the latest let's-kill-all-the-infidels rant by dear leader: "Oh God, he's embarrassing us again."

hehe seems so. this weekend there will be a big rally organized by Libians living in Switzerland, demanding Gaddafi to shut up and leave us alone :)

PS: Can we hire the Mossad team from Dubai ? :D

Oh, this is a real story? I came across this a few days ago on the Daily Mash and thought they'd just made it up.

Maybe NSFW (http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/international/blair-backs-gaddafi-on-swiss-genocide-201002262510/)

Truth is stranger than parody.

well most people around here see it as a huge comedy show.
Gadaffi is the most popular Middle easten comedian around here.

mega LOL at your link :)

There are relatively peaceful relations between Christians and Muslims in Libya. However, there are restrictions for Christian religious activity. It is prohibited to proselytize Muslims, even though a non-Muslim man must convert to Islam if he wants to marry a Muslim woman. Also, religious literature is restricted.

alot of restrictions there, i guess thats OK but alowing moskues without a minaret is not OK.

so Swiss has banned building of minarets?! what about freedom of religion?

well i voted against the ban, and i dislike the law.

But there is still religous freedom. you can build a moskue, but not a minaret, you can convert to Islam if you want. you can marry a Muslim person.

I still dont understand... Minarets are one of the primary signs for the Muslim people, like church tower for Christians. I think that is an attack on personal freedoms.

Functions

As well as providing a visual cue to a Muslim community, the main function of the minaret is to provide a vantage point from which the call to prayer is made. The call to prayer is issued five times each day: dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and night. In most modern mosques, the adhan is called from the musallah, or prayer hall, via microphone to a speaker system on the minaret. Minarets also function as air conditioning mechanisms: as the sun heats the dome, air is drawn in through open windows then up and out of the minaret, thereby providing natural ventilation.

yes it is. thats why i am against it.
but still you have freedom of religion while it is under atack from this bigoted law.

They're also a source of noise pollution. I don't scream in a high-pitched voice at Moslems five times a day; I'd rather they treated me similarly. However, that's not an argument against building them, just against using them as a stone-age-technology replacement for texting.

But Catholic and other Church towers are alowed to annoy me. they dont ring just 5 times a day, they ring every 15 minutes.

Swiss Air Force? I approve of the fitting of corkscrews to F-18s; it's about time. And that thing for removing stones from horses hooves is bound to come in handy for something or other too.

It is part of their culture and tradition... If you disrespect them, they`ll disrespect you. I have Muslim friends, and their culture never cease to amaze me...

On Gaddafi... He rants over this solely for one reason... the same reason why a dog licks his b*lls. Because he can.

And it's part of my culture and tradition that people don't do things like that. Somehow that matters less because I haven't pretended an omnipotent being told me to do it.

If there is going to be fighting on the streets, I hope it can be deferred for another week or so. The Geneva Car Show is on at the moment and the traffic is a nightmare as it is, so we certainly don't want to add tanks and barricades and burning wrecks to the mix.

It is one thing to demand mosques comply with noise pollution laws; quite another to ban the buildings of minarets.

Would the Swiss policy of neutrality require them not to take sides when Libya declares war on them?

I agree; I really can't see any justification for the ban on building them. Still, that's direct democracy for you; the will of the people isn't required to make sense.

Libya's Gaddafi urges 'holy war' against Switzerland.

do like the Gaddafi Family wants or get a holy war.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8537925.stm

what do you people think about this Lybian Comedian?

The row began after the arrest of Mr Gaddafi's son Hannibal and his wife, Aline Skaf, in Geneva in July 2008.

They were accused of assaulting two servants while staying at a luxury hotel in the Swiss city, though the charges were later dropped.

They aren't E/F Hornets. The leading edge extensions are too narrow and the engine inlets are too far back to be Super Hornets.
