World: Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi apparently hates the Swiss

  • Let us wage jihad against Switzerland, Zionism and foreign aggression. Any Muslim in any part of the world who works with Switzerland is an apostate, is against Muhammad, God and the Koran.
  • Muammar Gaddafi • In waging jihad against the Swiss. The famously neutral country has angered Gaddafi both personally and religiously. The problem started when Gaddafi’s son, Hannibal, as well as his wife Aline Skaf, was arrested in Switzerland for allegedly assaulting two servants. Gaddafi reacted by removing billions of dollars of financial interests from Switzerland, removing diplomats, refusing visas to Swiss citizens and pretty much overreacting. It then escalated to the point where Gaddafi and many other Libyan officials can’t travel into the country, to which Gaddafi responded by blocking many European countries from getting visas to enter Libya. Oh, and the minaret ban didn’t help either. Sounds like someone needs diplomacy. source
