Switzerland at War!

An astounding situation for a country that has stayed neutral through both The Great War and the Taming of Hitler; A country that has not even joined the European Union and does not belong to any military alliances. Nevertheless, the Swiss have managed to irritate Libya’s Gaddafi to the point that he has called for Holy Jihad against them.

Granted they did vote to ban the construction of Minarets, which is roughly the equivalent of voting to ban crosses on churches. Expect for the obnoxious call to prayers (sorry Muslims, but its horribly annoying to those not of faith). An unnecessary move, but one that warrants a call for suicide bombers and civilian attacks? Certainly not.

The Swiss response? To ignore it. The Swiss-Muslim response? To rise above the issue, stay neutral and poke the blubbering idiot back.

“it did not shock us, as he often says such nonsense.” - Yasar Ozdemir, member of the Zurich-based Swiss Federation of Muslim Associations
