OK, the Swisses can be a bit boring at times and some lack a sense of humour, but a Jihad is a bit harsh.
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
Libya's relations with Switzerland broke down in 2008 when one of Colonel Gaddafi's sons, Hannibal, was arrested in a Geneva hotel and charged with assaulting a member of his staff.

I was listening to the the Mark Thomas show The Manifesto on R4 last night.
The most popular proposition was to invade the Channel Islands in order to reposess all the government buildings that were sold of and leased back under PFI deals with property companies that turned out to be offshore tax avoidance schemes.
Did you know that the HMRC offices in London were sold off under this scheme. The company involved is based offshore and pays no tax in the UK. HMRC cannot even claim back the VAT they pay on the Rent. Apparently someone thought this was a good idea at the time.
From there the plan was to to use Gurnsey as a jumping off point to invade Switzerland, possibly using Viking Long boats.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
In other words, Arab sheiks and Libyan oil traders must stop putting their money in Swiss bank accounts. Have you forgotten your pills again Mr Gadaffi?
