Just an economic and commercial boycott, that's all. But of course Qaddafi would be the first to oppose any economic and commercial boycott of Saudi Arabia for not allowing the construction of churches and synagogues -- and Switzerland has done far less than that regarding mosques. "Libya says jihad against Switzerland 'not an armed struggle,'" from the Telegraph, March 4 (thanks to Twostellas):
Libya said its leader Colonel Gaddafi's call for "jihad" against Switzerland was not a reference to armed struggle.Ali Aujali, Libya's ambassador to the United States, said: "It is a call for (an) economic and commercial boycott against Switzerland, this is true, but it doesn't mean by any means that it is an armed struggle."
On Feb 25, Col Gaddafi called for a "jihad" against Switzerland, branding it an infidel state that was destroying mosques - an apparent reference to a Swiss referendum in favour of banning the construction of minarets.
But Mr Aujali said that Tripoli still expects an apology for US criticism of his remarks....
It's all a jihad anyway, waged by whatever means to get what they want. Don't make any distinctions Gaddafi, we know what you want you pig.
Ladies and gentlemen - these remarks by Gaddafi offer an excellent 'teaching moment' to advertise Mr Spencer's 'Stealth Jihad' and expose the fact that Jihad - the Muslim striving to force all humans to live under sharia, enslaved to corrupt, cruel, violent and capricious Muslim overlords (of whom the likes of Qaddafi, the Abominable House of Saud, and Saddam Hussein, are totally typical examples) - involves much, much more than acts of armed combat. It involves 'lawfare' in western countries, to silence critics of Islam or to impose sharia norms and 'bleed' the infidel by trumped-up demands for 'compensation' for allegedly hurt feelings. It can involve economic warfare - boycotts etc. It can involve migration, and deliberate fast-breeding in order to overwhelm the host population.
Gaddafi's remarks are also a good example of the way in which Muslims will say something and then pretend they meant something different from the way you heard it; moving the goalposts.
As for his demand that the US apologise: he should get no apology, not now, not ever. Neither Switzerland nor the USA has done anything - in this affair of the minaret ban, and Gaddafi's declaration of Jihad, and the US's really quite muted critique of that hysterical declaration - that either should feel any need to apologise for.
Gaddafi's hectoring demands and his threats - and any bribes he tries to offer - should be greeted with stony silence from all Western countries; and the Swiss should go right ahead and enforce their new planning decision, to wit, no minarets permitted on any mosque in Switzerland. Indeed, the Swiss would be advised to *up* the ante, quicksmart, and forbid the building of any more mosques, period. And a ban on the burqa in all public places, on grounds of security, could be thrown in at the same time. Oh, and put a stop to any further immigration of Muslims into Switzerland.
Apology?! F U Qaddafi!
Actually, mr. Gadaffi was quoted as saying "Jihad by *any* means".
But as usual, the Western World is going to just bend over so that we can get a discount on their oil and gas...
Dumbles,
Gaddafi got his apology already from chief dhimmie Condollllleeeezzzza Rice, plus compo:
Libya to receive reparations for Reagan air strike
http://sheikyermami.com/2008/09/06/condi-snubbed-by-gaddafi-remains-deluded-as-always/
“Libya to receive reparations for Reagan air strike: Country will be paid ’settlement’ for U.S. retaliation after terrorist attack,” by Chelsea Schilling for WorldNetDaily, same link....
Besides, didn't Gaddafi say that he surely would invade Switzerland if it was bordering Libya?
Gadaffi = lying bastard.
Why mince words come out like Chowderbag and tell the World you great nonce.
In the light of how the A-rab League has recently backed this inbred bedouin savage in its (not his) declaration of jihad, perhaps Swiss politicians could start learning a thing or two about how Thomas Jefferson dealt with that scumbag's forefathers a couple of centuries ago when they gave the civilized West trouble. That was the only language mahoundians understood then, and it's still the only one they understand now.
Not only a liar, he's a little screwy as well...After all, he wishes Rasool Obama could be US president forever...I'm sure Rasool likes that idea also...'Birds of a feather flock together'...Stranger than fiction becomes a reality any time you put a Mahoundian in charge of anything...
"not an armed struggle?"
They would if they could. The Mo's would try and kill every indigenous TRUE Swiss person they could get their barbaric mass-murdering hands on, and then claim Switzerland as Islamic.
Anyone got a problem with that theory?
For those who can afford it, this is another reason to take a vacation in Switzerland. There are few places more breathtakingly gorgeous than the Alps.
Switzerland requires its adult males to store a gun and ammo. Any invader would be facing a gun behind every rock and tree.
Not only a liar, he's a little screwy as well
That's why I call him "Quadaffyduck".
There is nothing -- nothing at all -- that is constructed in Libya by Libyans. The most beautiful buildings in Tripoli and Benghazi were built during the period of Italian rule, from roughly 1913 on. Despite the hundreds of billions in oil revenues that Libya has received over the last decades, there is no modern economy, and everything depends on Europeans. Khaddafy for years has been threatening to let loose armadas of third-world “refugees” onto the coasts of Italy, even more than already manage to land or manage to be interdicted by the Italians who try to immediately bring the smuggled human cargo to the island of Lampedusa for prompt repatriation, unless the Italian government agrees to build a coastal road in Libya, something the Libyans simply cannot do for themselves. For they can do nothing for themselves except cash those oil-revenue checks, and those revenues reflect no work on the part of Libyans, but merely an accident of geology. The situation, in other words, is just like that in the rich sheiklets of the Persian Gulf, and in Saudi Arabia, and in most of the rest of the Arab countries. Total or almost-total dependence on the West for the right working of oilfields, the staffing of schools and colleges and hospitals -- engineers, teachers, doctors, nurses, technological experts, contractors. And Khaddafy's own sons, Seif, Hannifal, and Islam, spend so much of their time in Europe -- chiefly Italy and Switzgerland -- because they can't stand (would you if you were a rich Arab?) the countries they rule, and prefer the luxe, the calme, and – especially – the volupté, that they find in Europe. They may be cruel, malevolent, decadent, primitive, their mental and moral growth stunted -- but they are not fools.
Let the Western world boycott Libya. Intelligent Libyans, and intelligent maghrebins elsewhere, know perfectly well that under Italian, or French, rule, the people in North Africa had things much better than they do under their local Muslim lords of misrule. It was the French who brought modern methods of agriculture, who first opened schools and universities, who first established hospitals, in the Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia. It was the Italians who brought, for the first time since the Romans, beautiful buildings to Libya, and some hints of a civilization to which Islam had been indifferent. Now Khaddafy will never admit what, for example, Dr. Hadi Shalouf, a Libyan in exile, dared to admit the other day, dared, rather, to declare – to his tongue-tied host – right on Al-Jazeera. But he knows it. And Libya, and his regime, can be boycotted by the West, and it can sink into itself as itself, tel qu’en lui-meme, if there is no Western aid, no Western engineers or doctors or professionals of any kind, to rescue the Muslim Libyans from all that ails them, the despotism, the economic paralysis, the social and intellectual and moral failures, that come, almost inevitably, with untamed Islam. Khaddafy is merely one of the most comical and obvious of the malevolent buffoons or semidemihemi buffoons thrown up by the Muslim world.
For Dr. Hadi Shalouf, the Libyan exile, who dares to tell what for us may be, or should be, an obvious truth, see here:

There is no democracy in Islam. There is only the "rightly guided" emir, who rules in the name of Islam.
There is no work ethic in Islam. There are only raids against the kuffar, exploitation of scant natural resources to the detriment of future generations, theft, and, as Leon Uris wrote - "Me against my brother, my brothers and I against my father, my father and his sons against our uncles, our family against the clan, the clam against the country and always Islam against everything.
This is not civilization in any sense of the word. It is the barbarous code of the desert; cruel and ignorant, a worldview limited by the horizon line of the savage sands, trusting no one, driven by the imperative of survival by any means possible and the submission of those it conquers.
In the words of Sir Kenneth Clark - "I prefer civilization to the alternative."
"...and always Islam against everything."
So, can we get the mass-murdering Muslims OUT of the West?
Wake up, William Tell.
You're needed.
I wonder what the modern equivalent of William Tell's deadly longbow might be? Maybe the Swiss should buy a few of those nice long-range UAVs the Israelis have come up with.
Time for Qaddafi to find out how the Swiss, historically, dealt with imperialistic tyrants who threatened them and abused people. Gaddafi has publicly declared war on Switzerland; that is, he has openly articulated the war that all Muslims everywhere are supposed to wage upon all non-Muslims, everywhere and always.
Anything the Swiss might choose to do to him after that should be rightly regarded as a defensive counter-jihad action by the Swiss.
Zzzzzzzip! WHANG. Exit tyrant.
I wonder what would happen if the Swiss froze all those secret bank accounts owned by Muslim warlords? Or if, better still, they seized those enemy assets, and devoted them to the defence of Switzerland against the Jihad?
Memo to the Swiss: the time for neutrality is over.
NO non-Muslim person or organisation or nation can afford to be neutral, in the War of Self-Defence Against the Jihad.
In plain sight, the Islamic oppressors try and use any means necessary to advance Sharia law into western culture. If a state like Switzerland rejects the totalitarian nature of Islam then it must be an act of racism. It couldn't possibly be common sense.
The mantra is always the same. First, decree that the reason western cultures reject Islam is because of racism and a refusal to accept diversity as a value. Second, if playing politics doesn't work then threaten violence against the uneducated infidel. Try and sell the hogwash that Islam is a religion of peace and that their women like being stoned for their mistakes. Or that eliminating Christians and Jews from the face of the earth is not an act of bigotry and hatred but instead a way to make the world a better place.
Finally, if the threat of violence doesn't work convince some poor sap that his life will be better if he blows himself and the "enemies" of Allah to kingdom come.
Then we go back to square one. Only now every time anyone speaks out against the horrors of Islam he will be constantly looking over his shoulder in fear of the next suicide bomber.
God bless the Swiss people for not backing down.
Something tells me that a handful of Switzers armed like the Pope's ceremonial guard could rout the whole of Qaddafi's army.
