#2 First it's an islamic sharia bank in switzerland.
than it the first Moskkkkk in switzerland.
then 2 Million Pakistani immigrants....
Before you can say "Swiss Cheese" the stupid swiss will find out that they are part of Umma and a district of the Second Chalifat.
But then, the Swiss where always known to sell their grandmothers to the highest bidder.

Last time I visited switzerland the common greeting was "Gruss Gott", I guess in five years or so it will be "Allah Hu Ackbar".

Indeed, Sapaysing trummleg 2134. They've always felt that since they are high in the mountains, they are immune to the troubles of the world below... while working quietly to profit from making things worse. 'Twas the Swiss that made the Nazis label the passports of the Jews with a big red J, so they'd know who to turn back at the border -- the Nazis didn't come up with that one on their own.
