[quote]was wondering if this is true? has anyone heard (source:multiple repeated emails) RENOWNED Swiss politician Daniel Streich, who rose to fame for his campaign against minarets of mosques, has embraced Islam. > A member of the Swiss People’s Party (SVP) and a well-known > politician, Daniel Streich was the first man who had launched a > drive for imposition of ban on mosques minarets, and to lock the > mosques in Switzerland. The proclamation of Streich’s conversion to > Islam has created furor in Swiss politics, besides causing a tremor > for those who supported ban on construction of mosques minarets. > > Streich propagated his anti-Islamic movement far and wide in the > country, sowed seeds of indignation and scorn for Islam among the > people, and paved way for public opinion against pulpits and > minarets of mosques. > > But now Streich has become a soldier of Islam. His anti-Islam > thoughts finally brought him so close to this religion that he > embraced Islam. He is ashamed of his doings now and desires to > construct the most beautiful mosque of Europe in Switzerland. > > The most interesting thing in this regard is that at present there > are four mosques in Switzerland and Streich wants to lay the > foundation for the fifth one. He wishes to seek absolution of his > sin of proliferating venom against Islam. He is thinking of a > movement contrary to his previous one to promote religious tolerance > and peaceful cooperative living, in spite of the fact that ban on > mosques minarets has gained a legal status. > > This is the greatest quality of Islam that it comes up with even > greater vigour, when it is faced with confrontation. Abdul Majeed > Aldai, the president of OPI, an NGO, working for the welfare of > Muslims, says that Europeans have a great desire to know about > Islam. Some of them want to know about the relationship between > Islam and terrorism; same was the case with Streich. > > During his confrontation, Streich studied the Holy Quran and started > understanding Islam. He wished to be hard to Islam, but the outcome > was otherwise. Aldai further says. > > Recently the question of ban on minarets was put to voting in > Switzerland, wherein the Swiss nationals gave the issue a legal > status.[/quote]
