Why the Swiss Were Right to Prohibit Construction of Minarets
Dear Masud,
Unlike yourself, we of the West reject the notion that Muslim culture is equal to Western civilization in any dimension. Your culture is pervaded by violence, intolerance, totalitarian dogmatism, and the subjugation of dissenters. Ours is almost exactly the opposite.
Indeed, if Muslim culture has anything positive to offer the world, I have yet to discover it — and not for lack of research.
If I may collectivize for the sake of a pithy summation: We are your moral superiors — and by so great a degree that detailed comparisons would be pointless. Your own actions have cemented that recognition in place. Time was, we could have fooled ourselves into believing otherwise, but no longer. Deal with it.
If you can learn from us, you should do so. Until you have matured, why, yes: we will do our utmost to keep you out of our lands — and we’ll sleep much better for having done so.
Sincerely,
Francis W. Porretto
