Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Switzerland: Mosques have proven ties to the Islamic State

Jan 6, 2019 3:50 pm By Robert Spencer

“Several Swiss politicians have stated that there are many mosques in Switzerland that act as recruitment centers for ISIS and other gangs and demanded they be shut down.”

Good idea. They should all be shut down. Or would that be “Islamophobic”?

“Mosques in Switzerland proven to have ties to ISIS,” ANF News, January 5, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A Swiss resident Turkish man has been sentenced to death in Iraq for membership to ISIS. The man turned out to have joined ISIS after being radicalized in mosques in Switzerland under control of the Turkish state.

Another link in the chain that ties the Turkish state controlled religious institutions to ISIS recruitment has surfaced. Prominent Swiss journalist Kurt Pelda wrote in Tages Anzeiger that a Swiss resident Turkish man was sentenced to death in Iraq for membership to ISIS.

Pelda pointed out that the 24 year old ISIS member went to Turkey from Switzerland and crossed into Syria from there to join the ISIS camps, adding that the man had received training on explosives and participated in various ISIS actions.

The article said the man was sent to Iraq by the gangs, where he was captured and sentenced to death in a court. The man was cited as living in the Arbon town of the Thurgau Canton where Turkish state efforts for mosques are more intense….

According to the artcile [sic], the man was libing [sic] in Arbon in the Thurgau Canton when he met a gang recruiter named Alperen A. and started to frequent the Rorschach Mosque under the Turkish Religious Affairs Foundation and decided to join ISIS there….

Several Swiss politicians have stated that there are many mosques in Switzerland that act as recruitment centers for ISIS and other gangs and demanded they be shut down.

    There is no other way to say this but:

    Mosques do not belong in Switzerland.

        Mosques in Switzerstan have ties to ISIS….I’m not hearing this from leaders in the U.S. but is there any doubt that there are not attendees and clerics in these mosques who lean towards the drive that ISIS has?
        I’m not privy to the work going on by those responsible for our security and maybe they are on top of this but i, and I feel sure that I’m not alone in this, am sure that there are some instances in the mosques in the U.S. that are ISIS friendly and would love to hear that action is being taken to stabilise any terrorist threat from mosques. Let us hear about t in the news..If it
        Does not pose a threat to investigations and investigators.

      The new Ottoman Empire. They tried taking over and converting all of europe long ago. Really doesn’t make sense that most of europe is allowing them to just march in, in caravans, and start breeding in high numbers. On your welfare. They still intend to convert you all.

    Well, it also looks like isis is supported by turkey. Which is no surprise. erdogan is champing at the bit for world domination with himself at the helm and any means is acceptable in islam and to the devoted moslim.

    There is no good in islam…no merit, no virtue, so there can be none in their barracks, no matter in which country they are built.

    • shortfattexan says

      Jan 7, 2019 at 7:44 am

      Turkey is not exactly helping ISIS. That is, they are providing assistance, but Turkey’s intention is to use ISIS for their own ends. Erdogan certainly has no objection to a world-wide caliphate, but as you say, he wants to be the one in charge, not a flunky.

    I’M SHOCKED ! SHOCKED !

    I always assumed that everything I read in the Sira, hadiths, Koran, canonical commentaries, Islamic history and SHARIA LAW MANUALS … had NOTHING … I tell ya … NOTHING AT ALL to do with Islam.

    I guess I musta bin WRONG.

    All those BOOKS I READ … WELL, THEY SEEM TO BE THE REAL ISLAM everyone is talkin’ about and blowin’ theyselves up about !!!

    ISLAM HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ISLAM after all.

      Close down mosques because they teach sedition ??
      You must be joking !

      In the UK, Islam now has sufficient power to make this a political impossibility. Islam is already conquering.

      As an Islamic Mufti said recently, “terror attacks are pointless and unnecessary. We will conquer Europe through the power of the womb and the ballot-box.”

    “Several Swiss politicians have stated that there are many mosques in Switzerland that act as recruitment centers for ISIS and other gangs and demanded they be shut down.”
    Swiss politicians also claim that Switzerland may have mountains as well.

    • Raja says

      Jan 6, 2019 at 7:58 pm

      Indiana Tom,

      Unless the mountains have some relics or images of Buddha.

      In that case, they should destroy all the pyramids as we;; as they symbolize idolatry etc? Egypt should not care about economy if it is serious about Islam…

      I must admit I cannot catch up other Jihad watch readers on humor..

    • Phil Copson says

      Jan 7, 2019 at 3:55 am

      “….Swiss politicians also claim that Switzerland may have mountains as well….”
      ————————————————————————————————–

      This contention is as full of holes as a…er….Swiss cheese, and is plainly a major example of thinly-veiled “Bergophobia” on the part of Indiana Tom; far be it from me to explain “Ground-control” to Major Tom, but surely it is equally true to say that what Switzerland actually has, is a very large number of valleys with tall, pointy sides?

      “Swiss Role”

      I am sure that once you have “Learnt To Love Big Brother” and have been suitably “re-educated” to see things from the correct Marxist perspective, you will come to understand that up is down, black is white, Communism is dedicated to the good of the community, Islam is a “religion of peace” , and that – once you average-out the mountains and the valleys – Switzerland is remarkably flat. Or is that just cuckoo ?

  8. Older Canadian says

    Jan 6, 2019 at 5:56 pm

    No! Really! Tell me this can’t be true. Some of these politically correct politicians must have, in error, left their blinders in their desk. Therefore they have figured out that perhaps, maybe, at least 10% of all humans on this world can steal your socks without removing your shoes.

  10. Raja says

    Jan 6, 2019 at 7:51 pm

    So it is OFFICIAL: at least one European state has openly declared it. Islam was always that way is it? Even students movement of India an Islamic organization was proven to have all sorts of materials for terrorism i.e, bombs, literature etc and they were also charged for murders in several criminal cases.

    Islam is mainstream Islam, they cannot have self control , tolerance or any such virtues. Few Muslims will always do the talking for the rest. It could be more common to see more incidents of mobs of tens of thousands baying for infidel blood like in case of Asia Bibi and an official of Indonesia.

    As the so called Islamophobia gets bigger terror and other news makers of Islam will ONLY intensify!!!!
