Ban on Minarets
It is quite amazing, if you think about it. A popular ban on minarets in Switzerland passed without a whimper or opposition in the West. In the Arab East, it also went down without a whimper, stories to the contrary in Zionist media notwithstanding. Arab governments were clearly under instructions from Washington to shut up, and they did shut up and shut off their propaganda media which they unleashed against Danish cartoons. But think about the historical significance of the ban. Imagine if this was a ban on stars of david or of synagogues in a European country? There would be official bills of boycott for that country in the US congress. Can you imagine the liberal US press if this bigoted ban was directed against a Jewish minority in a European country?
