In Switzerland, the celebration of diversity is in high gear.
“The controversial imam still attends ‘his’ mosque,” translated from “L’imam controversé fréquente toujours «sa» mosquée,” by Vincent Donzé, Le Matin, February 16, 2022:
The Libyan imam Abu Ramadan, who preaches in a Biel mosque, is facing a trial. According to a survey by the weekly newspaper “Biel Bienne,” many practicing Muslims who pray regularly in the Ar’Rahman mosque distance themselves from the controversial imam: “With his sermons, he has harmed the whole community and put all believers under general suspicion,” said one regular.
In a five-year-old report, the Libyan preacher is accused of having given hate speech against Jews, Christians and Shiites. The quote in Arabic that caused a stir read: “Oh Allah, I ask you to destroy the enemies of our religion, to destroy the Jews, the Christians, the Hindus, the Russians and the Shiites. God, I ask you to destroy them all and restore Islam to its former glory.
The Imam claimed that his Arabic quotes had been mistranslated: “I never said that. The translator is a liar,” he said. Abu Ramadan, who was charged with inciting racial hatred, is still a member of the mosque, which is housed in a former factory in the popular Madretsch district.
“We don’t have a problem, we are decent people, we don’t sell drugs,” said the imam’s son, whom lematin.ch encountered when he went to the mosque with his father last week. The two men said they wanted to go to pray ” usually, calmly”. When they arrived at the mosque, they did not want to comment further, but were rather annoyed at being photographed.
“There are two clans: Those who still support Abu Ramadan and the others who boycott him,” a Muslim told “Biel Bienne”. “He is arrogant and sometimes even aggressive,” said a practising Muslim. “A Muslim woman in charge of deradicalising young people said: “This imam serves the community and is always ready to settle disputes.”
Ar’Rahman mosque leaders said he no longer had the right to deliver sermons there. The preacher, whose civil name is Salah ben Salmen, is accused of drawing 600,000 francs in social assistance in thirteen years in Nidau without making any effort to integrate. “We can’t cut off a refugee’s social welfare, even if we condemn his statements,” explained a person in charge.
The political refugee from Libya had illegally returned to his home country several times. During the investigation, he did not cooperate with the prosecution authorities: He refused to answer questions about his income. If convicted, he faces the loss of his C permit and deportation.
Last year, journalist and Bernese MP Mohamed Hamdaoui (Le Centre) called on the Bernese government to intervene and muzzle the preacher. An investigation by “Matin Dimanche” showed at the time that Imam Abu Ramadan continued to denigrate non-Muslims and justify stonings.
MP Mohamed Hamdaoui asked: “How many more unlawful sermons can this person preach before he is prosecuted and punished?”
What Mohamed Hamdaoui proposed was the closure of the mosque attended by Nicolas Blancho, who had become president of the Islamic Central Council of Switzerland (ICCS) association. It should be noted that not only is the mosque still open, but its worst preacher is still preaching there.
What frightens moderate Muslims is that, apart from the old hands, the majority of worshippers are young illegal immigrants without papers or jobs who are easily indoctrinated. This is where Abu Ramadan came in: at the end of his sermon, he offered support in exchange for five prayers. Perhaps this was the beginning of a downward spiral that led to a supposedly humanitarian trip to Syria.
Abu Ramadan entered Switzerland in 1998 and was granted refugee status three years later. With a C permit, he is insured under the social security system (AHV). In 2017, the State Secretariat for Migration decided to “revoke the asylum of the alleged imam” and to withdraw his refugee status. The reasoning: “He has travelled to his country of origin several times and is said to possess a Libyan passport”.
In his neighbourhood, which borders a motorway, Abu Ramadan is better known as Mustafa. The imam’s lack of integration is reflected in his rudimentary French and his non-existent Swiss German, as lematin.ch was able to verify last week. He greets his neighbours with “Salam Alaykoum”. Abu Ramadan speaks in Arabic, but his four children were enrolled in French language school, which enabled them to get professional training.

Quote: “With his sermons, he has harmed the whole community and put all believers under general suspicion,” said one regular.”
Yes … exactly … this mullah has accurately declared the hidden teachings of jihad and Al Walaa wal Baraa that Muslims in the West NEVER SPEAK OF for fear that the dirty KUFAAR will learn the actual, authentic teachings of NORMATIVE Islam … hatred and hostility directed from the Muslims against the dirty KUFAAR whom Muslims must hate ‘for the sake of Allah’ or lose out on Islamic paradise.’Hatred directed against kafirs is a canonical required necessary for Islamic salvation. However, most of the pollyann-ish Western elites haven’t the foggiest about what Islam teaches and have no desire to learn.
Western elites prefer their comforting, whitewashed fantasy version of Islam rather than the real, intolerant Islam that is canonical.
mortimer says
correction: Hatred directed against kafirs is a canonically required action for all Muslims that is necessary and ‘essential’ for Islamic salvation. Baraa (hatred or apartheid) is an ‘usul ud-deen’ (essential of the faith of Islam). This mullah is preaching authentic Islam and the congregation cannot bear it, because they are only practicing half of Islam.
gregbeetham says
Maybe many in the congregation knew that he should only start with the more fundamentalist Islamic doctrinal demands when the population of Muslims was at a much greater percentage of the general population than it currently was and consequently maybe they thought he was revealing too much too soon with the possibility of startling too many of the kaffir which they rightly suspected could be counterproductive should it become known that the Imam was preaching the true Islamic evil doctrine that should be kept hidden from the useful idiots.
Michael Copeland says
Vincent Donzé, Le Matin, cites the imam’s prayer to destroy Christians and Jews as if it is a shock item.
Learning Curve needed.
Here is the prayer over the loudspeaker in Mecca:
“O Allah! vanquish the unjust Christians and the criminal Jews, the unjust traitors; strike them with your wrath; make their lives hostage to misery; drape them with endless despair, unrelenting pain and unremitting ailment; fill their lives with sorrow and pain and end their lives in humiliation and oppression; inflict your tortures and punishments upon the unjust Christians and criminal Jews. This is our supplication, Allah; grant us our request!”

650.000 dollars in 13 years (50.000 pr. year) – WIHTOUT MOVING A FINGER!!! And you wonder why they keep coming by the millions? And they can even call for our deaths without precautions and if you have any objections YOU are the (domestic) terrorist and Islamophobe :(((
savvyone says
Johnny B,
Muslims have been parasitic culture from the beginning of their founding. When they eventually kill off their hosts, they will be at wits end. But of course, they will have their infidel slaves.
Where I live, thousands and thousands have moved here and pretty much taken all the businesses and jobs. Thus, we have thousands of homeless as the result. I don’t think our leaders have a clue! And yes, like in Europe, government checks are gifted to them. Will there be anything left for hard working Americans to receive on retirement? Doubt it.
And yes, we also have Imams spewing hatred from Mosques. The criminal behavior is very apparent.

This is the state of the Western world. People “in charge” are more than happy to shower hundreds of thousands of dollars on supposed refugees…even if they are terrorists.
Wake the fuck up Switzerland!!!

FUNNY THING! An American mullah preached a very similar sermon a while ago !!
– from a talk given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTEpc4V1loA):
“The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE THEM and EXTERMINATE THEM in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL THEM when the time comes.”
(Note: Sheikh al-Faisal didn’t say ‘if the time comes’, but ‘WHEN the time comes’ … Muslims should EXTERMINATE and KILL kafirs.)
Both mullahs are preaching full, authentic,complete Islamic teachings, rather than a watered-down fantasy Islam preferred by many watered-down Muslims of today.

“…the majority of worshipers are young illegal immigrants…”
“He has traveled to his country of origin several times and is said to possess a Libyan passport”
“revoke the asylum of the alleged imam”
What a farce. Politicians have exposed the citizenry to pure mockery by not deporting instantly.
Ultimately, the voting public is accountable for voting into office the “useful idiots” of Islam.
Islamic doctrine is a pathogen of the mind that eventually kills the non-Muslim host country in the end. It is this mindset the “useful idiots” in office are importing and distributing into non-Muslim societies by the millions.

Michael Copeland says
Remember that the Tsarnaev family in Boston, granted refugee status from Chechnya, returned there for visits. They cannot have been in that much danger.

Russians are Christians! When did I miss the memo that the Russian Orthodox Church ain’t a Christian sect?

Switzerland: Imam got $650,000 in welfare while calling for extermination of Jews, Christians, Hindus and Russians
……………..
*Just appalling*–the Swiss paying for their own destruction. What could the Swiss have done with that money themselves?
James Lincoln says
$650,000 completely down the drain.
Most people don’t have that in their IRA / 401(k) after a lifetime of work.
OLD GUY says
My question is how do you get $650,000. in welfare? Where can I signup, and I’ll say what ever you want me to say in public. I’ll love you all or hate you all for $650,000. Hell I might even say something nice about Biden and Harris, it be hard, but I think I could handle it. But I will do nothing violent, maybe thats why I don’t qualify for the free hand outs.
For a person who worked all his life and never drew a penny in unemployment or welfare this really pisses me off. This Iman has probably never worked a day in his life, just plain wrong.
gregbeetham says
I doubt they even realize they are freeloading cretins and in that regard they are just like lefties who think there is such a thing as a free lunch.
