Gaddafi's call
Libyan leader Gaddafi has called the Muslims to boycott Switzerland in connection with the recent Swiss vote against the building of minarets that are integral parts of the mosques used by Muslims for praying. This is a direct interference in the right of a community to observe its religious rituals by a country that probably believes in secularism. France has also forbidden veil or hijab, a mandatory dress for Muslim women. What other non-Muslim countries /nations are doing against Islamic faith is well known and being manifested in the form of “clash of civilisations”. But there is no Muslim country in the world that has put any such prohibition on the religious rituals of any other community living in that country or anywhere else.
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has rightly pointed out that “Muslims need to mobilize in all the Islamic countries of the world and refuse to allow Swiss planes to land, their ships to dock or allow Swiss products enter their countries.”
In His Holy book Al-Quran, Allah says,“O ye who believe! Take not My enemies and yours as friends (or protectors) offering them (your) love even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you and have (on the contrary) driven out the Prophet and yourselves (from your homes) (simply) because ye believe in Allah your Lord!” It is obligatory for all Muslims of the world to abide by this order of Allah for their benefit in this world and salvation hereafter.
