Wherein in other religious and secular law morality comes first and then the law. Just the opposite was true with Islamic law.

On 29 November 2009 Dotezac spoke at a meeting organised by the Conservative right party, the Swiss People's Party (Schweizerische Volkspartei in German, Union Démocratique du Centre in French) on 'Islamization' and the referendum on minarets. Also on the platform was David Vaucher, president of the Swiss movement against Islamization (MOSCI). According to a news report posted on RSR.ch 'both reached the same conclusion: the Islamization of Western society is a reality that must not be obscured'.Translated from the French by David Miller with help from 'Google Translate. Original phrase: 'Et tous deux ont mis en évidence un même constat: l'islamisation de la société occidentale est une réalité qu'il ne faut pas occulter.'

::If you don’t, based on the freedom to practice your religion freely, you won’t be banned to continue to propagate such a doctrine but you will have to bare the full responsibility for any side effect and to contribute to a special fund (like the oil companies) set up to finance any damages caused as a result of those side effects or meant to prevent them. The burden of proof will be reversed and it will be your liability to prove that based on the due steps you have taken, this could never happened from your activity, speech or mere influence.”Country Report on Islamisation: Switzerland, by Arnaud Dotezac, CounterJihad Europa, 18 October 2007.
