How long before all of Europe is a fundamentalist Islamic theocracy? 3 years? 4?

Why are Muslims "radical Muslims" but Christians are "conservative Christians"?

Nothing I read in the article makes these people seem like "radicals".

If I saw the picture without the article, I would have thought that was a rabbi.

I thought Switzerland banned the building of new mosques a couple of years ago.

caution: I thought Switzerland banned the building of new mosques a couple of years ago.

They didn't ban mosques. That would be discriminatory, xenophobic and wrong.

So they banned minarets instead.

martid4: Swiss Mosque sounds like it would have a bunch of holes in it.

That's only after someone draws a bunch of offensive Jesus cartoons.

In Switzerland, all Muslims automatically become "Radical." So this is a non-story.
Maybe this group is radicalized? I don't know or really particularly care, but just wanted to point out the obvious.

The biggest tragedy of using Fark is that once the 6 hour delay is up, you don't see any articles you want to comment.

I guess in Switzerland, vocal = radical.

So it's kind of like the US.

Diogenes: The Islamic Central Council of Switzerland (ICCS) is trying to raise enough funds in the Gulf states to enable the construction of a 20-million franc ($21 million) prayer centre in the capital Bern.

Release the dancing, godless killing machines!

I thought he was trying to throw a cheese ball into his mouth and missed.

How dare they build this terror mosque? It's too close to Ground Zero.

Snapper Carr: /Have a nice earworm.

The headline beat you to it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one.

caution: I thought Switzerland banned the building of new mosques a couple of years ago.

No. They banned the construction of minarets, the towers from which the call to prayer is made, not the mosques themselves.

Nothing in that article explains why TFA is using the term "radical". Then again, the minaret ban made it clear that when it comes to bigotry, the Swiss make much of the US right wing look like amateurs.

Fark off, bigots.

someonelse: They aren't still in a sad, depressing pit of sadness, are they?

They moved them about 100m to a sloped, grassy open-air "Bear Park" rather than the pit. It's right by the river (and a small bit of the river is diverted into the park for them to swim in if they wish).

TFA: The president of the Council, Nicolas Blancho, confirmed his fundraising activities in Kuwait and Qatar to newspapers SonntagsZeitung and Le Matin Dimanche on Sunday, although he said the organisation has not received any donations yet.

So let's see here:

1. No actual reasons in TFA as to why they are "radical."
2. As of now, there is no funding for the mosque. It's essentially a pipe dream at this point.

WHAT A STORY!

Radical Muslims plan biggest Swiss mosque, pray for no rain Omarion.

So they'll have a half pipe, BMX course and a T shirt shop?

They had to ban the minarets because people would have dropped their bombs between them otherwise.

Well, the Sharif didn't like it anyway.

Ahh....ze Swiss!

Too cowardly to fight Hitler, they threatened to destroy their own infrastructure if invaded. Hitler knew he needed at least one friendly country in Europe to launder the money used to finance the Nazi war machine. Those nice fellows the Swiss also took custody of confiscated Jewish gold and hard currency and agreed to not accept Jewish refugees. They gave them a free ride to the border and turned them over to SS troops.
