The Deutsche Welle World website reports that Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi today (February 26, 2010) called for a jihad -- or holy war -- against Switzerland, saying the Alpine nation is a destroyer of mosques.
Gadhafi said that any Muslim who worked with Switzerland was against the Prophet Mohammed and the Koran, referring to a recent Swiss referendum verdict barring the construction of minarets -- the spires that sit atop mosques.
A European Union (EU) spokesman called the comment "unfortunate."
"The masses of Muslims must go to all airports in the Islamic world and prevent any Swiss plane landing, to all harbors and prevent any Swiss ships docking, inspect all shops and markets to stop any Swiss goods being sold," Gadhafi said during a meeting in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi.
