The govt of Switzerland has announced it is increasing its army by four battalions as a security measure. It seems they fear an armed conflict between muslims and Native Europeans in Europe. they are worried it will spill over into Switzerland To thicken the plot there is a movement to stop govt military service in Switzerland. The country has been long noted for the population keeping military supplied weapons at home for an instant civilian army in time of need. Some want to stop that practice. They want to depend on good will for protection instead. A story developed after WWII where a Russian general asked a swiss what would they do if Russia invaded the country. The Swiss looked the Russian in the eye and said they would all go to the border and take one shot then go home. The Russian general turned pale. the Swiss are noted for being expert shots much as the Fins were in 1939 when Russia invaded Finland and suffered heavy losses to Finish marksmen

Switzerland has its own problems with moslim immigrants who are building mosques complete witn minarets in the alps. The Swiss feel the tourists do not come there to hear calls to prayer and see minarets. The are moving to stop the construction of minarets and limit the size of mosques.
