Sometimes the Dhimmis wise up.

Good for the Swiss. They are taking the first steps away from Dhimmitude. It is an example to the rest of Europe of what they too can do if they have the courage to take on the Islamists.

Far right groups in Switzerland have collected enough signatures to force a nationwide referendum on banning minarets, the distinctive towers of Islamic architecture.

In what is being seen as a sign of growing Islamophobia in Europe, more than 100,000 Swiss citizens signed a petition to halt the construction of minarets.

Under Switzerland's direct democracy rules, that level of support is enough to trigger a referendum. The Swiss interior ministry today confirmed a vote would take place, without setting a date.

100,000 Swiss citizens saying NO TO DHIMMITUDE! This is what needs to be done all over Europe. First London throws out Ken Livingstone in favor of Boris Johnson, then Ireland rejects the Lisbon Treaty, now the Swiss are putting limits on the Muslims. The Swiss are showing the way for the rest of Europe.

In a bid to get immigrants' families deported if their children had been convicted of violent crime, the party ran an advertising campaign showing three white sheep on a Swiss flag kicking out a black sheep with the caption: "For more security."

The organisers of the petition argue that the minarets, which are used on mosques, are a symbol of political and religious claims to power, not just a religious sign.

Schlüer said last year: "We've got nothing against prayer rooms or mosques for the Muslims. But a minaret is different. It's got nothing to do with religion; it's a symbol of political power."

If Schlüer's camp wins the referendum, the Swiss parliament must pass a law enshrining a minaret construction ban in the constitution.

More than 310,000 of Switzerland's 7.5 million population are Muslims, according to the federal statistical office.

The UN expert on racism, Doudou Diene, has said the campaign is evidence of an "ever-increasing trend" toward anti-Islamic actions in Europe.

Has Doudou Diene ever wondered why there is this trend in Europe? Is it that the European peoples are being threatened by Muslims. That they see their nations' cultures and customs being destroyed by a group of immigrants who do not want to be part of their nation, but want the nation to conform to their ideas.

Could this be a start for the rest of Europe? Will the Dutch ever wake up and confront the menace? Will Sweden stop allowing Muslims from suing Swedes for so-called hate speech? Will the UK finally destroy the Muslim only areas and force them to accept English law only?

This could be the signal of either a new day of Freedom or the last gasp from a tired people. Only time will tell.
