Remember the huge deal that came out of a proposal to ban minarets in Switzerland? Then the popular vote passed the proposal? Remember all the global outrage, the petitions, the campaigns, the calls for boycott, etc...

Daniel Reich who is attributed with starting the whole thing has converted to Islam.

Now he wants to build a mosque in Switzerland.

Just goes to show, every step, every action you take in life, think long and hard about it and its implications before moving forward. Don't burn your bridges, because you might have to or want to use them in the future. Otherwise, you will likely end up with your foot in your mouth or worse.

BTW for some positive pieces, please see the following
