Major Swiss Companies Submit to Islam: Remove Cross-Shaped Swiss Flag from Their Products

Switzerland's leading companies have removed Switzerland's cross-shaped flag from their products for the Islamic market. Swatch, Tissot and Victorinox logos, as iconic of their brand as NIKE"s check or McDonald's golden arches, are voluntarily censored, removed, in a breathtaking act of submission to a radical racist ideology that oppressses and subjugates all non-believers and women.

Tissot, maker of Swiss watches since 1853, yes 1853, is removing its 158-year-old identity. Any company (or individual) that cannot stand up for what they are or does not know who and what they are, will inevitably disappear. Worse, capitualting to an ideology that lashes women, covers them in cloth coffins, cuts off clitorises, and denies non-Muslims basic human rights, is beneath contempt. I, for one, will never buy from these cowards.

As for the Saudis demanding (under the sharia) that the cross not be shown in public, the West should respond in kind. No crescents and stars anywhere. Everywhere the sharia is imposed on the West, freedom lovers should respond in kind. Tolerance when applied to evil is a crime.

Is anyone surprised that the Swiss cowered and capitulated? Did they not secretly align with the Nazis during WWII?

Some 75% of all gold transactions made by the Reichsbank during World War Two were made through Swiss banks. It has to make you question the sincerity of their admission and apology back in 1997:

"We are ready to apologize for those who traded humanity for profits," said  Margrith Ledermann, the Swiss consul in San Francisco.

Swiss Companies Removing Cross-Shaped Swiss Flag from Their Products to Appease Muslims October 9, 2011

Major Swiss companies like Swatch, Tissot and Victorinox have removed Switzerland's cross-shaped flag from their products for the Saudi Arabian market. Swatch and Tissot both replaced the Swiss flag with the words "Swiss Made". When shown the Swiss cross on some of the company material, staff working for these companies in Saudi Arabia even refused to describe it as a cross, insisting that it was a "plus sign" instead.

Victorinox, which sells the famous Swiss army knives, replaced the cross symbol on its product with a letter 'V'. In the past, Victorinox had problems selling its products in Saudi Arabia: deliveries were blocked; cargo was seized at customs. It decided to switch to the 'V' symbol for an easier life. This has provoked complaints from some customers that the knives on sale in Saudi Arabia are not authentic because they lack the original cross logo.

Swatch justified its action claiming that "Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country. It does not allow the cross to be shown in public. ..

Switzerland Flirting with Evil

Richard, my "biggest fan in Swtizerland" sent this comic and added "in Switzerland we are very disapointed about the flirt with the palestinians."

Me too, Richard, me too. Though it's hardly surprising. They washed the Nazi's blood money. "Neutral" Swiss Clean$ing Money for Terror States Iran, Iraq and Cuba here

"Neutral" Genocide loving Swiss are Back!

Remember the Swiss? Cloaking themselves in some moral balnket of neutrality. Yeah right. Washing the stolen money and art for the Germans during World War II,  laundering the blood stained money of the largest state sponsors of terror, Iran, Iraq, and Cuba and now this.

Swiss blasted for anti-Israel UN vote Jerusalem Post hat tip rut

Switzerland has "joined forces with countries that have little regard for human rights" in its vote in support of a UN Human Rights Council resolution on Thursday condemnding Israel over the escalating violence in Gaza, according to the American Jewish Committee.

In a letter to Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey on Sunday, the AJC blasted the move as "detrimental" to "efforts to rectify the situation in the Human Rights Council, and even more importantly, to promote peace in the Middle East."

"Most appallingly, the resolution fails to even mention the terror attack perpetrated last week by a Palestinian gunman against a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem, in which eight students were murdered, although this heinous crime was committed on the same day that the Human Rights Council adopted its resolution," reads the letter, signed by AJC's director David Harris and president Richard Sideman.

Switzerland turns other Cheek

Knowing what we know of the Swiss and their "neutrality", my only question is, did the Swiss make this decision after Iran decided to move its money out of Europe here . Just askin'

UBS Cancels All Banking Business With Iran

According to the New York Sun, UBS the Swiss bank which operates the largest "wealth management" firm in America will be investigated by Congress for laundering money for Iran and Cuba.

The Swiss bank will be pressed about $3.9 billion deposited in UBS accounts by the Castro regime, according to Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Republican of Florida, who first announced the impending investigation on Friday. Possible improper financial dealings with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saddam Hussein's Iraq will also be subject to scrutiny, she said.

In 2003, American soldiers liberating Iraq discovered $762 million in American currency stashed in hideouts belonging to Saddam. According to Ms. Ros-Lehtinen, a Federal Reserve Bank probe traced the cash to UBS and other international financial firms. While investigating the Swiss bank's possible business relationship with Saddam's dictatorship, it was discovered that the firm - as part of a program with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in which UBS allowed clients to retire old banknotes and replace them with fresh currency - had also conducted transactions with Cuba, Iran, Libya, and Yugoslavia.

Why am I not surprised? The Swiss were as dirty as the Germans, cleansing their sins all through the most gruesome war of wars. Neutral? Switzerland, like other countries that remained neutral during World War II, had "extremely profitable economic relations" with Germany that significantly prolonged the war, said Martin Primack, professor emeritus of economics at San Jose State University.

The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.
