The Swiss People’s Party (SVP) of Switzerland has created an atmosphere of fear and hatred of Islam and Muslims by launching an initiative to prohibit building of minarets on mosques in Switzerland. The campaign leading up to the voting has been Islamophobic and hateful.
Some of the Swiss Media such as Tagesanzeiger, a Swiss German newspaper has been extremely anti-Muslim and published scare stories to swing people’s votes against the Muslims.
The Swiss voted to accept prohibition of mosques and minarets on November 29th 2009 and the situation for Muslims in Switzerland is becoming dangerous.
In view of the above we the Africa Muslim Party of South Africa call upon all peace and freedom loving people around the world to boycott Swiss products, and to avoid traveling to Switzerland as tourists.
Please sign the petition to show your support and stop buying Swiss products.

This article has a mistake. Switzerland doesn’t forbid the construction of mosques, churches or synagogues. Everybody is allowed to profess their religion. A minaret is not necessary.
Christians are not allowed to have a CHURCH in Saudi Arabia and in other Muslim countries. So why exactly do you need to have a minaret
By the way, I am not Swiss, I don’t hate the Muslims but I think that the discussion against the Swiss is unfair. It is their country, they can do what they want.

Maria have you seen the rascist poster with s woman in Burka. The Swiss remind me of the Nazi. A woman in Germany was killed because she wore Muslim dress. No more Swiss cheese or chocolate in my house.

These rascist posters were created by only one specific Swiss politic group. So you should not say the Swiss and compare them with the Nazi. The vote was not against Muslims or their community but against the building of the Minaret that’s all. You have to understand that this country is leaded by a political system called Democracy. I am not against Muslims and other religion but I know that a neutral country like Switzerlands helps to solve a lot of countries like the conflict between Israel and Palestinien. So I will continue to eat Swiss cheese, chocolate and not react with emotion.

Do we muslims need other people to explain us our religion? Why do you get in the position to tell us if we need a minaret or not? And what about churches are not allowed in muslim countrys?
You are ignorant people. Here are some Photos, only for your lying society:

You are nothing than ignorant people! We respect other religions, not like you do! Who can post a boycott list of products from switzerland! I need one!

You should learn more about history. You keep bringing Saudi Arabia as an example. Did you forget Spain, a christian country. Which was ruled by Muslims for 700 years and has more than 800 mosques. Muslims are not allowed to build any mosques, they are not allowed to even call for prayers from these mosques.
Call it what it is. You are trying to defend Switzerland for there racist decision, because it is against Muslims.

hey! i am a muslim from morocco and i dont even practice my religion but i was shoked that people of swizerland have banned minaret the most precious part of a mosque when they have give and granted the rights for all the other religions to build their house of god. i will boycott all swizerland products starting from watches to food etc...
even that i’m not a muslim practicant and i dont pray. i will never understand how people in swizerland who are mostly atheists vote against the right of one single religion and i will only see it an act of racism and a slam to human rights from a country that says is a symbol of human rights and is "neutral".
Peace!

I think Swiss people have followed Saudi-Arab role model of religious freedom...then why don’t first bann Saudi Arabia?..
30 November 2009, 11:39, by Peace Maker
you dont get it my friend? saudi arabia doesnt allow to any religion other than islam to build their place of worship even other sects within islam arent allowed to build thier mosques like shiia sect its very bad i agree and it should be dealed with as an extremist state. but what astonished me with switzerland is that they allow everyone else to have their places of worship but muslims wich is not only provoking but is discrimination i wont care if all other religions were banned like islam it will be fair. you have to know that many countries in arab golf have churches like quatar uae and kuwait most of muslim countries do allow other faith to build theur worship place and also italy doesnt allow muslims to have mosques they only pray in hangars and stores but hey thats italy its fair? but switzerland says they are "neutral" and an example of "tolerence" but the mask has failed now!
2 December 2009, 16:05, by Sher
Saudi Arabia did not ban churches building in it - there are no christans there so that churches can be build for !!!! all of them are Muslims
30 November 2009, 14:48
I together with all my friends and relatives (who come from all communities and races) are shocked that the Swiss people are so racist and prejudice towards muslims.
Alot of money from rich muslims around the world is stored in Swiss banks and alot of business and trade is also done through Switzerland.
I can tell you now, that I will not only be boycotting all business and trade with Switzerland from now on, but as a result of this shocking racist action by the Swiss People my friends and associates will also be doing the same.
The Swiss people have no idea how much damage this has done for their image, for their moral values, for their standing in the International Community, for business and trade and for tourism.
Anyone and everyone who gives a damn about racism or freedom in this world (for all religions and people) needs to take a stand and voice their support against Switzerland. You need to boycott trade, business and tourism if you feel strongly.
If the Swiss want to be racist against one group of people based on their religion, they don’t deserve to be part of the International Community to be honest. I’m absolutely shocked by what’s going on in Switzerland - My image of that country has been permanently damaged by all this.

Thanks a lot

In order to make things fair, the Swiss should ban all places of worship. Of course, if they did, all the sad little losers who do desperately NEED a big Daddy to tell them how to behave; obviously because they lack any form of self-control; would be crying too.
When are you subbies going to grow up?
30 November 2009, 19:52
First of all here is a list with their companies:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_of_Switzerland
I just can’t understand what these stupid, racist, ignorant bigots thought when they voted for this ban. They didn’t think that 1.5 billion Muslim around the world will be angry and infuriated with this vote. They didn’t think about the backlash of their practice on their international relations and their economy, they didn’t think about all the Muslim’s money in their banks, all their Swiss products retailers in Dubai, Riyadh, Kuala Lampour ..etc.
Me and all my friends and associates will boycott all Swiss products and we will close all our accounts with any Swiss bank. Starting by throwing away all nestle products the I have at home.
I wish all Muslim and all people who love freedom to boycott tourism to Switzerland, after all these hatred posters showing a Muslim women veiled with burqa and mosques minaret as missiles. These racists are spreading hatred against Muslims, the same way the Nazi did against jews in the 40s, then they dare speak about how tolerant and civilized they are.
Let’s play with them the same democracy game and see who wins and who loses.
30 November 2009, 19:59, by Ahmad
This racist action of the voters is against Swiss muslims as well as all muslims in the world. How can we allow a majority to ban one of the basic rights of minority citizins!!
30 November 2009, 20:01
If these racist Swiss who voted for the ban just looked at the minaret, they will see that it looks like a candle, it is just a sign to distinguish the mosque from other surrounding buildings. There is no other ideas behind it.
Anyway I pledge to boycott anything Swiss and i will start spreading the word among all the people I know. These racists should start taking responsibility of their actions.

Call for a boycott from UK Green Party member
30 November 2009, 23:30, by Paolo Zeriali, Trieste (Italy)
Europe is every day more racist. Muslims are not the only targets. African immigrants (also Christian, Pagans and Atheists) are a target too. The same is for Roma People, Chinese, Indians, but also European who don’t bow to Christian (especially Catholic) fundamentalism. European new fascists blame Muslims for the lack of religious freedom in Arab Countries, but if an Italian family doesn’t baptize their children, it must bear psychological, cultural and economic harassment (much worse than 20 years ago!). Some people have been forced to baptize their children not to lose their jobs, other people not to lose their permit to stay in Italy (the permit was tied to a professional contract, if they didn’t baptize the baby, the contract would have been cancelled). New fascist blame Muslims for ill treatment of women, but how many Italian women are forced to have sex to get a job? I’m not talking about street prostitution, but about young women with a Phd, who work in a office. The "client" is often a "serious" man who claim to be a good Christian, who is scandalized is he doesn’t see a cross on the wall and cries against the "Islamic invasion" of Europe. So, I think a boycott of "made in Switzerland" will be a necessary battle not only for the freedom of Muslims, but for the freedom of all Europeans (Natives included).
30 November 2009, 23:49, by Paolo Zeriali, Trieste (Italy)
What do racists want? They don’t really want to deport all Muslims from Europe. If so, industries should increase the salary of European workers too much, there are too few Native Europeans still able to do some jobs and so an Europe without immigrants would be a continent totally ruled by trade union, immediately defeated by China and India competition. So, racists don’t want to deport all immigrants, but to scare, to threaten them in order to see Africans, Arabs, South Americans and Asians behave as slaves shaking in the terror for years and decades. If we don’t struggle immediately against racism, it will be too late. We can’t wait months and years, the political retaliation must begin soon. Everytime an European country is taking a racist way, they must know there will be a political and commercial reaction. For what concerns Switzerland, they are ashamed of minarets, but they are not ashamed if a Muslim dictator opens an account in their banks using money of obscure origin. What a double morality!!! I propose another referendum to forbid Muslim businessmen to deposit their money, so that the "Christian identity" of Swiss banks cannot be "threatened" by Islamic money. I guess they’ll not accept my idea!!!

Does anybody know of a relatively comprehensive list of Swiss enterprises, mainly those exporting goods abroad? Or can you help out in producing such a list?
I am about to write a swedish call for boycott through the SMR (Swedish Muslim Board), of which my mosque is a member.
Please do not publish your contribution to the list only on this site since i am making this request on many message boards etc, and am not likely to pass by here again.
Pls ionstead send to my email address mikael.wenger@gmail.com

Saudi Arabia forbids the building of churches or any other building of worship apart from mosques.
In view of the above we the equality loving people of the world call upon all peace and freedom loving people around the world to boycott Saudi products, and to avoid traveling to Saudi Arabia as tourists. Please sign the petition to show your support and stop buying Saudi products.

I Have to believe that the single reason this bill passed is that "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.". Lots of good men(generic)didn’t vote because they thought that their neighbors
and landsmen would do it for them and that it stood no chance anyway.
I live in Germany,where the mainstream reporters in print and media(television and radio) invariably refer to the swiss and austrians as "Artgnossen". (A similar breed.)) Perhaps they should include the Israelites in their defineitions of "Artgnossen"
In my family there is a 50 year ban on all products swiss. Not because I give a rat’s ass about Minarets,but because I refuse to give any of my hard earned money to people who don’t deserve it.
Switzerland imports much more than it exports. If we upset the ballance to their detriment(they are poorer every day)they will be forced to reconcider
the value of xenophobia.
