They should all eff off back to St Gallen

"Yusuf" is right. There are two kinds of Jihad, the Higher Jihad which is the struggle to improve yourself and the world, and the Lesser Jihad which is the going to the defence of others under attack

And your friends most likely are Arab friends, if from the Arab World or Arabian friends if from the Arabian Peninsula (the term is rarely used), but they cannot be "Arabic" as "Arabic" is the language but not any persons

First, define "truly democratic" ! and then we'll look further

Sorry, but he was NEVER elected into ANY position ! And he is neither President nor Prime Minister but "the leader of the Libyan revolution" and moved up to this supreme noble position by self-nomination

Gadaffi Gaddafi Ghadaffi Khadafi Qadafi Qaddafi are all more or less correct


but the only "authorized version" of course is
معمر القذافي
and on that basis, I write it as Kh.... and in full
as theoretically asMuam'r al-Khadafi or rather as
Muammer al-Khaddafi
-
***********************************************

I suggest you start to be real yourself :

- the official Libyan news agency did not even publish
the anti-Switzerland rant
- Khaddafi is NOT a religious leader
- Libya still is doing exports (not only oil) to Switzerland
- Rants of Khaddafi are not known for positive and constructive ways !

Khaddafi made similar rants against Tunisia and Egypt once in a while, but Messrs Ben Ali and Mubarak are used to simply ignore the rubbish

************************************************** **********************

The Arab World, as mentioned above, got used to his rants, usually against "fellow" Arab countries, for decades, and so, nobody cares. The Western Media enjoys to report about slightly crazy people "out there" .

************************************************** *****************************

I like this spelling Khadaffi

Sure, everything is ready. For once, some people will have a very different WK from routine this year. And here is how the country will look like in future

Jeder Schweizer Kanton wird eine Kolonie in einem Teil gründen.

No, he is NOT anything to the Islamic World or to the Arab World or to Africa or to the Mediterranean. Not even to Libya. Nobody regarded Idi Amin or Emperor Bokassa as a disgrace to Africa. GWB was not a disgrace to the USA. Pol Pot was not a disgrace to Asia.

You love to generalize ? Have leaders of the Arab World like King Mohammed VI, AbdelAziz Bouteflika, Abidine BenAli, Hosni Mubarak, Dr Bashar al-Assad, King Abdullah II or Ali Abdullah Saleh comported themselves as "irresponsible clowns" ?? When and in what way ?? And I here refer to those leaders who are the leaders of more than 75% of the Arab World ! So, I suggest you get real !

well, at least he (author) has a point... contrary to the Gaddafi of course.

i would be also extremely angry in his situation, alhough he could instead of sitting and drinking, move through gates earlier and be on time... (so i would also be angry at myself...)

But there is something in Switzerland with 'we don't care' attitude , no matter what happens, it's always customer fault. Will it ever change?

I simply do not see your point. For customs officials anywhere you never are a customer, but somebody who has to be grateful to be allowed past their controls. I have seen that in many countries, it is all the same. The only exceptions I ever saw are the customs officials at the airports of Dublin and Amman.

ROTFL!!
That's exactly what I thought!! LOL! He is just pissed about the Basel Fasnacht!! LOL! I was there and it was absolutely hilarious!! All those Gaddafis!!!!LOL!

Guys calm down,

I'm an Arab and I know a lot of libyan's, and I'm sure when I tell you the guy's an idiot.
When he used to come on Arabic television everybody would gather around to see what kind of ridiculous costume and superfunny words he'd say this time.
If I could compare the Arab world to a village, well he'd be the village fool.

He's stupid moron, we shouldn't pay that much attention to what lunatic says, all Arab & Muslim leaders laughing at him, he doesn't know anything about diplomacy, Just ignoring him is more than enough....

That's pretty much what most of us think of him, Question is, is anyone stupid enough to take him at his word?

No, not even he himself. He seldom takes himself at his word. You see, he says things like "there should be a total embargo". He allows ABB to continue to work in his country and to get the necessary equipment into the country

Pretty sure Christ, wasn't reading this till you drew it to his attention

He is not alone in that region doing the same. Saddam before,and guys like Ahmadinezhad, Mugabe,some leaders in Sudan/Sumalia,... are more or less the same!

Gaddafi-Switzerland Row Escalates, US Forced To Apologize To Libya Leader

better say, forced for oil rights... no comment !

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/0..._n_493193.html

The American comment was an escalation.

The subsequent apology was a de-escalation.

Back to just being a Swiss-Libyan beef now.

Max Goeldi's been released . . .

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/africa/10290009.stm

I hope to get the exit visa won't take another 4 months ...

in realistic terms it is to be between 2 days and 12 months

Looks as if Max Göldi has departed from Tripoli, according to the media on a scheduled flight, and so most likely on Air Malta to Malta-Luqa

Correction, he left Tripoli on TUNIS AIR
TUN Tunis TU 414
Tunis Air 9:20 PM

Scheduled
320
and by now should have arrived in Tunis, the charming Capital of Tunisia

In the meantime, Mrs Calmy-Rey also has arrived in Tunis, and has met Mr Göldi, who now will return with her to Switzerland overnight. At which airport they will land was kept secret.
