Switzerland is a Christian county, has always been so. They have agreed that their values are the same values of freedoms based on European values, not other values. Because what is Switzerland ? It is what it is and cannot be forced to be something different.

I thought it we could only have success and peace as mono-ethnic countries with a single language? Switzerland has a higher muslim % than many other western countries that you want to fail btw.
And since this thread is about Canada, maybe we should take a look at that country too. Can't even list how many different ethnicities live there. They have multiple official languages and a whole bunch of recognised regional languages too. Would anyone really claim that Canada is not an astonishingly peaceful country? An amok running terrorist nazi **** doesn't change that. |

The UK was a Christian country, it was a Protestant country moreover. This was the dominant religion for centuries in England. That may seem monotonous for a country to be like that, I like monotonous things like that.

By:
Canada, like America , like Switzerland is a Christian country.
These countries hold the same values and traditions, they have never been multi cultural in their history |

You make it out like it's the most natural thing that Christians get along. I don't need to tell you how divided and plain violent to each other the denominations were, do I?

Of course, now you are beginning to understand

As in...it was completely and utterly unthinkable that they'd ever grow together and get along.
Yet here we are. |

Same with French and Germans. French and English, Anglo-Saxons and Celts, Irish Nationalists and Unionists, Christians and Jews etc. etc.

There were always people like you saying "nah, we can't do this. They're just too different. This will never work" and yet...

Christians do not grow together . There is a very surprising thing about Germany. A century or so ago Germany was made up of 1000? Independent regions that could have their own councils and government .
After the reformation these divided pretty much into mainly Catholic and Protestant areas. This was so for centuries Then Germany unified, and then came the terrible upheavals of the 20c But in the late 20 c something surprising was found after all that history . These 1000 statelets in modern Germany still hold that same distinction between the catholic states and Protestant That divided after the reformation |

And again, you're completely missing that we all are already living in multicultural, multilingual, multi-ethnic countries in peace and if we don't let the illiberal dickheads, be it islamistic or nazi terrorists, win that ain't going to change.

By:
This division had survived the unification of Germany, and two world wars, and Hitler and the Soviets.
and every major event of history in Europe, since the reformation |
|
By:
You don't need to lecture me about Germany. I am kind of German, remember? Of course we grew together. What are you talking about? Yes, the dominant denominations have mostly stayed the same due to simply limited mobility. People love their homes. The important part of growing together is that you recognise the other as a worthy human being instead of antichrists or disciples of lucifer, which is the case in Germany and among most Protestants and Catholics.

*dominant denominations in any given area

It is lovely to grow together, and it is nice to be apart.
nicely wonderfully apart. |

The other day, shock horror, I saw that there was an ecumenical church service. You wouldn't believe it.

Independent news sources are casting serious doubts on the authenticity of this "terrorist" attack. Doesn't fit the usual MO at all.

He talked of his love for kebabs to the concierge there the week earlier ,he shot one in face at point blank trying to stop him and three that followed him outside .That leaves two ,a uni lecturer and the Halal butcher .looks like he had a beef with the butcher and maybe the uni lecturer as well ,they were the targeted individuals imo. horrible attack against defenseless people but just trying to offer some info here ,i smell the agenda being personal revenge of some sort/sorts. |
