Indeed, history is full of women who set great examples of nobility and righteousness.

Indeed, history is also full of examples of "honor killings" when women exercise free will, including recent examples in the west. In many Muslim countries women cannot vote, drive a car, get an education, or access healthcare using Islam as justification. And I don't mind pointing out once again that while all Muslims are not terrorists, the overwhelming percentage of terrorists are Muslim. The planes hijacked on 9/11 were not full of Norwegian Nuns.

I don't claim to know the mind of the Swiss. But I do understand the concerns of integrating muslim immigrants into the west; it's a concern founded upon a history of Islamic violence and the desire to not follow the lead of the UK to integrate Sharia law into western culture. Dismissing it as "Islamophobia" implies an irrational fear when in reality, the Swiss are being prudent to resist integrating the potential of Islamic violence.

Islam is one of the great Abrahamic religions and as such, share a brotherhood with Christianity and Judaism. I look forward to the day when moderate Muslims take ownership for helping overcome those who pervert Islam into Islamo-fascism. Perhaps you will renounce terrorism here or will you be an apologist for terrorism like Abdulksaida?
