I kid you not Washington, DC - The story just leaked out that all 13 Mormon members of the United States Congress sent a strong letter to the Swiss Ambassador to the United States. The 13 letter signers were protesting the Swiss Government's banning of Mormon Missionaries from that county. This was reported yesterday in The Salt Lake Tribune: http://local.sltrib.com/upload/2010/12/1292358459letter_.pdf The one page letter signed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and four other United States Senators and eight House members was sent to Swiss Ambassador Urs Ziswiler and said, "We earnestly petition the Swiss Government to reconsider its decision and work with us and the LDS Church to find a solution which would permit LDS Missionaries to continue to perform their missionary service in Switzerland as they have done since 1850." Copy of Congressional Letter to Swiss Ambassador: http://local.sltrib.com/upload/2010/12/12923537608.19.10%20Ziswiler%20letter.pdf Swiss Ambassador Ziswiler's letter back to the 13 members of Congress -- Thanks, but no thanks... http://local.sltrib.com/upload/2010/12/1292358459letter_.pdf |

This sounds a bit 'off topic' to me (nothing to do with EDL business) |

Off topic indeed. Switzerland appears to have enough troubles from religious folk already, I'd be cautious about letting more in. |

I think Abdul's point is that the Swiss government would not ban muslims. |

Ah, point taken! Firstly: Maybe they ought to let them in to help in the fight against the islamisation of their country? Secondly: If the swiss had such a big pair, why not use the ir balls to fight the radical islamists instead of picking on a few relatively harmless missionaries? |
