The Swiss Navy — and the Swiss coastline.

Yes, we do have both!
That delight of Tony Blair, Moammar Gadhafi, leader of a nation that not only redefines democracy, but also human rights (no, really, check out the Cairo Convention on Human Rights) has called for a “jihad” against Switzerland, which he called an “infidel state” that was “destroying mosques”.
Destroying mosques?
The darned things are springing up everywhere. There’s hardly an Alp these days without at least one skulking away in its shadow, and as for destroying them, I fail to see why objecting to the ‘in your face’ minaret’s (soon to be followed no doubt by the horrible caterwauling ‘azhan’ by some promoter of a pre-medieval thing utterly out of place especially in Switzerland) could be classed as destroying mosques.
But Blair’s mate didn’t leave it at that.
“Any Muslim in any part of the world who works with Switzerland is an apostate, is against Mohammad, God and the Koran,”
“The masses of Muslims must go to all airports in the Islamic world and prevent any Swiss plane landing, to all harbors and prevent any Swiss ships docking, inspect all shops and markets to stop any Swiss goods being sold,”
And why. No, why REALLY.
It’s about loss of face.
One of Moammar’s kids beat seven bells out of two of their servants while they were staying at a Swiss hotel. The police were called by the hotel management, statements were taken, and Moammar’s lad and his misses were banged up’
Long time THAT lasted for those who can and do use diplomatic immunity as a get out of jail of anything card, so out they came.
In short order the victims then wished to withdraw all charges after money had changed hands and in many places that would have been it.
Not here.
The Swiss don’t work that way. If there’s been an assault the law takes its course and the guilty pay.
So Moammar’s brat and his better half (any half would be a better half in his case) did a runner.
Thing is it’s not as if it was a first offence.
In 2005, the lad was busted in Paris for allegedly assaulting his ‘compagnon de nuit’ in a hotel, and in addition several times the police nabbed him for speeding at the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, hardly a place to speed at the best of times.
So not content with the shame of having his kid exposed acting as a thug in a civilised country Moammar then had two Swiss nationals arrested in Libya on trumped up (and patently so) charges, demanding compensation for the ‘insult’ of having his thug son busted. He even wanted the police who were just doing their job prosecuted for — just doing their job. Dealing with an uncivilized thug.
What’s more he then soon after formally demanded in the UN that Switzerland should be dismantled and split between the ‘Erics’, the Austrians, and the Italians.
Blair’s friend.
