This is a cry of anger uttered by Swiss citizens belonging to a muslim cultural and religious background. We would like to react against Mouammar KADAFI’s call for the Jihad against Switzerland after the referendum banning the building of mosque minarets.

As Swiss citizens with a muslim cultural origin, we have opted for the path of reacting and expressing our total disagreement with KADHAFI’S statement. In whatsoever way, we wouldn’t like to be handled by a dictatorship. Banning minaret is a Swiss domestic issue, and we are completely convinced that it should be settled down through democratic ways. We do wholeheartedly believe in the state of law of our country.

We remind the fact that our country is not to be converted to a democracy pupil expecting demo lessons from others and even less from well known dictatorships.

We reject any attempt to wrongly use the religious consideration and also that of Islam in order to raise Muslims’ hatred, be it among Swiss Muslims or other Muslims in different parts of the globe, against our country and against our fellow citizens.

We also reject any call for the Jihad or boycott or any action that is likely to undermine our country.

As Swiss citizens belonging to a Muslim cultural and religious background, and living in Switzerland, we would like to tell the whole world that we do really appreciate the state of rights we live in. We do also have the right to use different means to solve and fix out issues through democratic and legal ways.
