Why Switzerland, Ali?

Of all the countries I've been to and cultures I've experienced, Pakistan is the worst, followed by the Islamic and Muslim populated countries I've worked in long enough to be mostly disgusted and at times in danger. Thailand, Laos, and Singapore were the most pleasant and civilized to each other; the best people I've been around. (Your "brothers" are killing innocent Thai Bhuddists by the bushels down south. Does that bother you? How about the innocent Catholic Filippino families in the southern islands being slaughtered by your Islamic brothers - does that bother you? The Pakistani Christians? I could go on, but time is short.)

I don't know about Switzerland, never been there or near it, but being a European country with Western values based on Judau-Christian tenants, it would be good - but for the Muslim enclaves that are currently taking over major parts of European cities.

But I see you are in living Switzerland. Answer me this, Ali: Do you want Sharia Law for the Swiss? Do you assimilate into the culture you have decided to live in? (I don't blame you a bit for getting the hell out of Pakistan, if that's what you or your family did.) Does your imam bash your hosts and your country of choice? Are your neighbors Swiss or Muslim? Are you part of an organization that uses Swiss liberal laws/courts to enforce your belief system on your countrymen and silence them if they disagree with it and say so? Why did you or your family decide to NOT live in an Islamic country?

If you had to leave Pakistan, wouldn't some other lovely Islamic country like Somolia or Yemen or Saudi Arabia or Afganistan or Iran or Sudan or some other wonderful paradise with Sharia Law where you could be surrounded by like-minded people have been a better choice for you? Why Switzerland?
