Your Personal Message Hello, I've just signed an urgent petition rejecting the ban on new minarets in Switzerland and showing my determination to speak out against fear and prejudice. We cannot remain silent. Join me by signing the Avaaz petition below and help amplify the voices of all those who want to preserve the Swiss values of tolerance and pluralism: http://www.avaaz.org/en/switzerland_not_in_my_name/98.php?CLICK_TF_TRACK Thanks! -------------------------- Forward the original alert below to your friends: Dear friends, Many of us are still in shock about Sunday´s vote to ban the construction of minarets in Switzerland. The results have sent shockwaves throughout the Muslim community here and around the world, and threaten to stoke the fires of resentment and alienation, making Switzerland a global symbol of intolerance. We urgently need to show the world that this vote does not represent all Swiss, that the forces of peace and understanding are also strong here, and that we are determined to work to open a genuine dialogue and engage our fellow citizens to counter prejudice and intolerance. We have just a few days before the media moves on and feelings harden -- let's publish a heartfelt apology. Click below to sign a petition message that will be distributed to newspapers across the muslim world when we reach 100,000 signatures, and then forward this email widely: http://www.avaaz.org/en/switzerland_not_in_my_name/98.php?CLICK_TF_TRACK Opposed by the Swiss government, the vote has been condemned by almost everyone from the Pope and other senior Muslim and Jewish leaders, to European heads of government, ministers, and human rights groups. Tens of thousands of Swiss citizens took the streets yesterday to protest against the ban. But there´s still a high risk of further polarisation and even violent reactions in response to Sunday´s referendum. Emboldened by the results, far right leaders in Switzerland and across Europe are redoubling efforts to further fuel Islamophobia and exclusion. We cannot afford to be silent. The anti-minaret campaign has succeeded in manipulating popular fears and emotions. We must now stick together and send a powerful message to the world reaffirming our commitment to pluralism and religious freedom: core values that have contributed to make Switzerland one of the most open and tolerant countries across the world. Sign the petition below and then forward the message to everyone you know: http://www.avaaz.org/en/switzerland_not_in_my_name/98.php?CLICK_TF_TRACK With hope and determination, Luis, Pascal, Ricken and the entire Avaaz team
