No, must have me confused with someone else. You never said anything to me about an ignore list.

It was definitely you! I did put you on my ignore list briefly - although didn't actually tell you that - but you then when on to mention the word ignore in following posts - so I thought you knew!

The UN has stated its concern about the whole issue asking Switzerland to take it back as it goes against the Human rights. Furthermore, Switzerland has been warned a few days ago but the referendum still went ahead.

I don't know what to think really. Switzerland has always been in a special position in the world, probably the most neutral country so it's rather surprising this went through as they are known for peaceful and calm people.
I kinda agree with them because they don't want minarets to invade their beautiful environment (I've been several times there and to me, Switzerland is one of the most beautiful country) but at the same time, they can't prevent people from praying. S yeah, tough choice.

I believe you asked for an argument, and when I gave you one, you complained about it's lenght before deciding you would get back to me on it eventually. We call that a waste of time. Or dodging the points. It's an easy assumption to make love, sorry .

Either way it's a totally different scenario to the one you and Wildcat are in thus it is pretty indifferent to the thread, really.
Your interpretation, as usual, love!

And I find Wildcat's views about many things equally distasteful - so!

Nobody is stopping them from praying - just not allowing them to do so as publicly as they would like. As it is not an Islamic country - they should respect that!

Yes because we are soooooooooo ignorant of Islam it MUST be Islamophobia! Because we criticise the Religion we MUST be Racist, yet Muslims are from all over the world and most probably would not want to be put in a nutshell like that.
