Considering the facts made clear by this story, one can easily see that these Muslims have no intention to integrate into Swiss culture. The Muslim “demand” upon its host nation is not the act of a gracious immigrant community. This “demand” is an admission of a refusal to integrate. From head scarves, to minarets, to this “demand” for special burial rights; these Muslims make clear they have no intention to integrate. Their position is that the Swiss who should be forced to submit to Muslim culture and law.

Muslims continually work to incrementally create a “society within a society” and a “system of law” within the host country’s system of law. The Swiss should not tolerate this attempt to establish Islamic law within Switzerland. The Muslim “demand” is not a religious issue. It is a political issue concealed within a religious wrapper and is designed to alter the political / legal structure of the unsuspecting host nation.

Islamic law may say that Muslims should be buried separately from people of other faiths. However, Switzerland is not an “Islamic country” and is not bound by Islamic law. By leaving their Islamic countries of origin and settling in Switzerland, these Muslims have a duty to integrate into Swiss society. Switzerland is not required to transform itself into a “Muslim society”. The accusations of racism are incorrect. Muslims of every color and “race” are present in Switzerland. Such accusations are ridiculous when voiced by a ’community’ made up of every conceivable “race” of people. This is an issue of Muslims attempting to force Islamic culture and Islamic law onto a non-Islamic nation.

If these Muslims are successful in forcing the Swiss to grant their “demand”, they will have gained far more than special burial rights. They will have proven to world that they have the power to force Switzerland to accept and abide by Islamic law. Switzerland must protect its political integrity, its legal structure, and its culture from this subversion.

By what authority does the Coordination of Islamic Organizations of Switzerland decide how I or other Muslims living here in Switzerland are to be buried? I would have no problem being buried next to a Christian or a Jew. I’ve even met a few in my life !!!!!! The Coordination of Islamic Organizations of Switzerland doesn’t represent me. NOT IN MY NAME.

Muslim will not integrate. They expect non-Muslims to submit to them. The Swiss are right in standing up to them. Well done.
