A friend of mine told me when we talked about the minarets that it expresses the feeling of the Swiss, that you have to do something against Islam. Well, here is what can be done. A well-vs. Islam debate. The atheists would probably have entertainment value. And I should not wonder if you would come to similar numbers.
The Swiss Constitution zukünfigi prohibit the construction of minarets.
The reasoning of the proponents seem to be about that minarets are a symbol of power more than the act of worship. I think this is nonsense, but I think it would be a weak argument, for minarets to be, just because Muslims such nice people are. Or to allow only buildings that are not symbols of power. Suppose, then, minarets would be nothing but power symbols of Islam. Since
is more, the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's said in 1997: "Mosques are our barracks, domes our helmets, minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers This holy army protects my religion.." Egerkingen The committee was not too bad, to quote the sentence.
is totally pulled out of thin air any of it. Although not every Muslim a terrorist, but the proportion of Muslims among the terrorists is frightening. Who would have ever criticized the initiative because he thinks Islam is a religion of peace, ignores the most visible part of Islam. And who says that religion had nothing political, which can be washed his head: Islam is politically so long as there is. And so he is not alone: Christians use their values wherever they are going to make that policy.
And no, Christian values are not Western values. The modern Western values had to be at great sacrifice to prevail against Christianity, and still suffer from Christian tyrants who believe us to be able to prohibit other stem cell research because they have found somewhere in their fantasy book is a line that can be interpreted only just so that their imaginary friend does not like stem cell research. Mother Teresa fought to make abortion in prison. The struggle for freedom is a fight against religion. Against them all. It is no coincidence that not one of the founding fathers of the United States was a believer. may
The fight for freedom is also a struggle to think that everyone what he can and as long as it remains undisturbed not harm anyone. It is a fundamental respect for other people, that often their views on how the universe works, accepts, no matter how confused they appear, once you have cleared his head. This is important because no one is born liberal or a skeptic. It is a position that is intellectually against itself first rides. It is s battle against our innate instincts, against our innate morality, with which it is perfectly compatible people make life difficult are not part of our group.
can be no coherent argument put forward against minarets that could not be used just as well to ban synagogues and church towers. Erdoğan lists as a carrier and symbol of Islamic power only minarets among others. Just so good you could ban headscarves or equal to the faith itself. Of course, the effect would be larger, but nothing of what Ulrich Schluer, the Haupfbefürworter says, can be applied to more than minarets on headscarves Mosques, domes and believers.
Ulrich Schluer may now be objected that mosques and headscarves for Islam is necessary, but not minarets. But he is also apparently not from Islam. The remarks by the fact that he claims it would be over minarets nothing in the Koran and it could be assumed that it would be irrelevant to the religion. He does not know that Islam across all flavors of the hadith, the traditional stories about Muhammad, just as respected as the Koran. That something in the Koran can never prove so that something would be Islamic. (By the way, in Hadth point out that "If someone defected [of Islam is] ... so it must be geötet. The penalty is death. "The only help that Islam was the religion of peace, as the opponents of the initiative, called Islam.) The majority of Muslims informs us that minarets would be needed for their religion.
Since we only be injured than aesthetically, we must accept it. And they can build their towers. From basic human respect. Everything else is the ugly bullying of a minority, based on nothing more than xenophobia and intolerance.
Is Islam evil? Yes. Do we have the moral right to interfere with people because they hold something as true that the harm mankind? Of course not. That would be absurd. On the way to skepticism is a lot of hocus-pocus and confused ideology. Religious freedom, freedom to believe the insanity, is absolutely necessary so you can find the truth first. It's disgusting, their own cultural identity, to abuse their own majority to bullying dissenters.
When the famous bearded and lovable curmudgeon of recent pop history a film about his father , wrote down his life ( for grandchildren do not exist ) and an album made man as long Wolf (or better: has wolf had become human) howling at the moon, said Mark Oliver Everett III, the frontman of EELS: the end is near.
Admittedly
the END TIMES he speaks of is not about "Mayan calendar conspiracy theory bullshit," he says, but, "the state of the desperate times we live in." The eighth
EELS album is actually "End Times" are called, and after what we know so far, there is a separation album that even under the has included his abbreviated name simply as "E" Known alone on a four-track tape recorder in the home's basement. Origin of the admittedly not very apocalyptic title was & ndash according to the press release - the artistic experience the pain of separation as breaking the world around him. Thus, even a little Emmerich, but more like a metaphor.
Sounds will definitely be back once for a classic EELS topic. After wolfish excursions (with statements like "she's tremendous dynamite" etc.) So now it goes back to the sensitive core of what holds the world together. More on 19 January 2010 (!) - the countdown .
