#2 Asma Jahangir, UN special rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief.

Nice of him to take time from his busy schedule of protesting persecution of Christians in Dar.

#3 I would like to see the Swiss announce that minarets will be allowed as soon as Christian churches are being built in Riyadh, Mecca and Medina.

I'm sure that one of the more profitable evangelical churches would be more than happy to start building there.

#4 what a moron, everyone is free to worship anyway they like, they just cant build muslim steeples. The UN and it's 3rd world cronies( read simpletons who just got a taste of the "so called" Good life of the western world ) overstep their bounds and need to rethink their "mud hut" upbringing and get down off the high horse and step into reality.

#6 Christians trying to conquer Israel and turn Israelis into domestic animals*?

*Because that that kafirs are to muslims: those who submit are domesticated, those who don't are wild.

#7 would you guys be cool if Israel didnt allow new christian churches?

There is an increasing number of Muslim meeting houses in Switzerland, liberal hawk, whatever one chooses to call them. What is being forbidden is the addition of minarets. Architecturally speaking, that's like building churches without bell towers.
