Iran has no respect for other religions or viewpoints. If the Swiss should build Minarrets to make Tehran happy, then Tehran should agree to build a Christian church and Steeple with a Cross on top for each Minarrette the Swiss build. Let's make a deal, how bout it? Or, NOT!

From a country who wants to 'wipe Israel off the map"? Those Iranians are mentally sick.

this coming from a country who murders fellow musllims and persecute their christian population. That enslaves their women in burdensome clothing. That exports terrorism and threatens muslims in other countries. And the world is supppose to care what they think?

Mr Motaki is right in every word he is in this context, whether you like it or not. In this point Mr Motaki reresnts the vast ajority of the moslim world.

The level of igonrance about Iran and muslims is beyond stupidity, it's intentional criminality at the level of Al Qaida and it's prounonciations.

it seems a dangerous prospect, for any democractic loving country, to be enganged in limiting religion. does this not remind us jews of the start of the holocaust? in any case, this ban should send a signal to iran; in that, the europeans will stop the islamo-take over of their countries. i hope iran is obliterated, and their hypocricies with them

yeah, just go and try open a Christian or jewish place of worship in iran! if you value your life you won't!

the Israeli government warning against committing war crimes.

The main Synagogue in Tehran has a Torah that is 800 years old. There is a Cathedral in Isfahan that was built in the 1500s. You need to educate yourslef, homie.

It makes it sound like Iran is making a threat. The press in Uk and USA are trying to ruin the reputation of Iran. By making "consequences" obvious, at the same time Iran is being questioned about its nuclear program, they are making all of you narrow minded people connect the dots and start the hate/fear. The consequences are the political and social consequences within Switzerland, not what Iran is going to dish out. Be weary of the press on Iran.

Realise that they are prematurely commenting on the issue.Of course,Switzerland will take into consideration its position with the Muslim world and rectify their wrong move.Iran's comments on the issue is what bugs many but it stands the way it does and there is a particular stand that Iran has undertaken on behalf of Muslim countries.This,further, unsettles many.

Is anyone surprised about Iran's critisism of the Swiss Minarettverbot? Iran, a country where stoning, torture and state-sanctioned harassment is legal and practised? How many church bells are ringing in Iran? Don't throw stones when you're sitting in a glass house!

That muslims won't make wars in Europe, but they will buy that part of the world. How many times remain to the free Europe.

Somebody woke an idiot in iran who thinks he knows the truth and that all the posters here are fools and idiots. Considering that the government of Iran controls all of the media, the infromation and restircts its access, how would the moron called 35 know. Anyway, dopey #35, listen up ... the point of these posts is to show that Iran is the world biggest hypoctite and leading threat to world peace. Ask those jerks if you can build a synagoge in Iran and get back to us. Any attemptr to defend of that country is mental diahirra. So dopey #35, enjoy the aytollah and midget act, their days are numbered and now from Israel but from your countrymen.

ironic,ha?

How do you like ending of my scenario? That is most likely to happen. 1. Minaret ban referandum is not legal beacuse you cannot vote a human rights, Human rights are "institutions" of democracy like other fundamentals institutions and democracy to suicide that is ending a democracy with vote is not possible. It is not possible small by small to lift democracy banning fundemental rights. Therefore this referandum will be annulled and assumed not held.

We, the Jews, should learn from Iran how to defend our religion and our national pride.

Iran is a rogue barbarian state. the warnings mean nothing. The Swiss mad the right move. Islam is a desease and the muslim imigrants are the virus.

Bravo, that the only thing who can come to my mind. I have nothing against Muslims or Arab peoples, but as we all, all over the world agree on each gobernment laws, we have to agree on those decisions. A national vote is the law, peoples have given they wish so it should be respected. As it should do all over the world, we didn't go against the election of the Iran's president, even if we thought it was not fair, Can you imagine a Jewish community starting to built synagoge or a christian community a church in Irak or Iran or the Emirats or Afganistan ?? I don't thing so Or can you imagine a westener lady walking in the street of one of those countries in a mini dress ?? I don't imagine what she would go through. Or having a beer in the street, not neither. So, peoples from western countries respect those local laws, even if we don't agree with them, isn't it ??? Well, on the other hand, why should they don't respect the local laws of the countries where they live ???? Some of the western countries have certain laws baning some religious extrems or other things, like short skirts in school, or burka in public places etc . etc . It's like in the Islamics countries, we have laws and we have o respect them !!!!!!!!!! I would like to know why we CAN'T do things on one side and MUST let things be done on the oster side ???Explane me what are the differences ???? Religions ???? Stupidity ????? I realy don't get it; Is somebody can explane me this fact. Thanks

Well Cat as you say It was built, way long before Islam became extremist, it was built when Islam was a open religion and Muslims were open minded peoples. That time has gone and look like is dead and buried. Real bad for the world and friend ship of peoples of the world.

this subject never bothered me. never. I LOVE MOSQUES EVEN MUCH THAN MOST OF ARABS IN ALL ARABIC COUNTRIES. ANYWAY LETS CUT NONE SENSE TALK *** WE NO NEED MINARET WE EVEN NO NEED MOSQUE IN ANY PLACE OUT OF OUR HOMES. EACH INCH OF WORLD GROUND IS MINARET FOR US. WHO CARES ROCK MINARETS. NOT ME. NOT ME. *** I LOUGH AT CARTOON RACISTS. *** DEAR IRAN ! WHY YOU WARN THEM ??? WHO ARE YOU ? A MAFIA GUY ? EVERY COUNTRY HAS RIGHT TO RULE ITS LAND AS THEY WANT. YOU GO TO WARN AMERICA & ISRAEL. understand ??? Atilla Karagözoğlu

you wanna bet? this was a legal vote in a democratic country- of course Iran (and Turkey?) don't really KNOW what democracy is- this is nothing to do with human rights- the EU and all the do-gooders are wrong. A human rights violation is when muslims are not allowed to pray..., the minaret is a symbol- it has nothing to do with anything else... go buy a watch if you need to be woken up to pray- join the modern world. What gives a group of muslims the right to dictate what the rest of the country has to listen to at 4am? With loudspeakers, which were of course were always used , right ? Even at the prophets time? Give me a break! You guys are doing this to yourself- we see the violence, the indoctrination, the Sharia laws,the fanatism, the way women are treated- and smart people draw their conclusions- . save your threats for someone who really cares.

you sound so not Canadian... Even though for some reason we in Canada still have dirty and filty creatures like you but despite people like you it doesnt really make a difference... Iran has its internal problems... but it is getting better day after day... 20 years ago was better than 30 years ago....now is better than ever.... get some life mr Butcher Ali... why dont you go back from where you came..it sounds like a filty Terrorist... why dont you take your hatred and racism back to your country and end up dieing there... stop coming here and destroying our image.. i would be more then happy if our government send you and your children back to your shit hole..... Lets keep the peace...

Iran never said that they will wipe Israel off the map... Infact Israel is not a toy to be wipped off as if it is Irans ass.... Israel is a country and they deserve their share of land and so does the palestanians.... Iran is dreaming about a day without zionists so that both jews christians and muslims get back together and live in peace and harmony as before... it is easy to misinterpret someone and go out of context... Iran like any other country has its own problems and it is just a matter of time... as time goes by things will change... Iran has intelligent people... they have proven this through out all these 30 years.. therefore we as the "West" are so scared that a Muslim country nonononoono should never happen... If USA let other countries live freely the world would be a peaceful place... Since the world WAR means Money... War=Money=Business =control...... instead of looking at other we should look at our own because we all got problems and issues in our own countries....

If they don't like it !go back home! Switzerland is not a Muslim country!Why should they be told what to do! it has nothing to do with human rights! Try building one in Texas now..good luck..But can we build a synaguogue in any Muslim country or could the Swiss open a church in any country.,,NO!!! So..let tehm build Minarets in thier own county's..Europe is fed up!!!! This is just the start!

located in the middle of Tehran and other Iranian cities and are well attended right now. I am sorry your bigotry is preventing you from seeing the facts as they are. Being an Islamophobe does puts you in the same league as Bin Laden and other jehadis.

the noise of the loud speakers, not the minarets. You should educate yourself how badly women are treated by some Christians and Jews, instead of letting your bigotry control your warped logic.

at 4 am...

from the minarets... Now thats a good offer?
