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

Switzerland: Young jihadis living on welfare benefits

Jun 17, 2019 7:45 am By Robert Spencer

This is no surprise. Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims is a Qur’anic dictate: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, […]

Switzerland: Former army officer on trial for fighting AGAINST the Islamic State

Feb 22, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

The Swiss government should be thanking Cosar and giving him medals, instead of putting him on trial. This by-the-book punctiliousness will be Switzerland’s undoing. “Former Swiss officer Johan Cosar on trial for fighting IS,” by Imogen Foulkes, BBC News, February 21, 2019: Johan Cosar went to Syria not to fight for the Islamic State group, […]

Switzerland: City upholds fine against Muslim man for screaming “Allahu akbar” in public

Jan 10, 2019 4:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Police in the Swiss city of Schaffhausen have defended their decision to fine a man who used the words ‘Allahu akbar’ in public.” Known only as Orhan E. in the Swiss media, the man argued: “I was born here [in Switzerland] and have never experienced anything like this. We live in a free country with […]

Switzerland: Muslim tied to murder of Scandinavian hikers had “psychiatric problems,” “started going to mosque a lot”

Jan 9, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The man began receiving Swiss disability benefits for these psychiatric problems when he turned 18 and continued to receive those benefits after he moved to Morocco in 2015.” His mother “said that after living in a youth centre and being introduced to the Koran, her son had “started going to the mosque a lot.” Authorities […]

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 […]

Switzerland: Second region votes to ban burqa

Sep 24, 2018 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Although the Swiss government caved to political correctness and rejected a burqa ban in early August, “the majority of voters in Switzerland’s canton of St. Gallen have supported the prohibition of face-covering garments in public spaces, making it the second region in the country to introduce such a ban.” St. Gallen is the fifth-most populous […]

Swiss government caves to political correctness, rejects burqa ban

Aug 3, 2018 10:05 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Swiss government has opposed a “grassroots campaign for a nationwide ban on facial coverings in public that will prompt a binding referendum.” As an alternative, the Swiss government has suggested adopting laws that “would prevent people from covering their faces when dealing with officials and punish anyone who forced women to conceal their faces […]

Switzerland: Muslim leader complains that “Islam is being reduced to problematic elements such as terror”

Jul 17, 2018 11:22 am By Robert Spencer

Who is responsible for this reductionism? Pascal Gemperli would doubtless say that “Islamophobes” are responsible, when in reality jihad terrorists are wholly and solely responsible. “Muslim umbrella group warns against stigmatisation of Islam,” SwissInfo, July 17, 2018: The Federation of Islamic Organisations in Switzerland has warned against associating crimes with a certain religion. In an […]

Switzerland: Muslim migrant gets eight months prison for genital mutilation of her two daughters

Jul 16, 2018 11:19 am By Robert Spencer

This will nonetheless keep happening, and become more common in Europe. This is because FGM is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr […]

Switzerland considering penalties for forcing women to wear Islamic face veils

Jul 1, 2018 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Switzerland is considering introducing penalties for forcing women to wear Islamic face veils, as a referendum on a total ban on the garments nationwide looms. Good luck to the Swiss government in getting Muslim women to admit that they are being forced to wear the Islamic face veil, particularly when one factorsi in strong Muslim […]

Swiss senate rejects ban on foreign funding of mosques

Jun 8, 2018 1:04 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Swiss senate has voted 29 to 7 against a motion calling for a ban of foreign funding of mosques. The proposal, modelled on rules already in place in Austria, would also have seen imams required to preach in a Swiss national language while compelling Islamic centres to disclose the origin of any funding. The […]

Switzerland: Muslim migrant convicted of child abuse married 15-year-old for sex

Apr 26, 2018 8:33 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A 40-year-old unemployed Tunisian Muslim migrant reportedly met a 15-year-old girl, “who he claims told him she was 19 at the time, in 2016, and ‘married’ her during Ramadan in order to have sex with her.” The girl was “a Swiss convert to Islam.” Child brides are accepted in Islamic law and tradition; and now […]

Tariq Ramadan: One More Accusation with “Aggravating Circumstances”

Apr 15, 2018 1:05 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

The latest news about Tariq Ramadan, one of the world’s “foremost intellects,” “one of the most renowned of Islamic scholars,” named by TIME in 2004 as “one of the 100 most influential people in the world today,” comes from Switzerland. It’s not about the four underage pupils he taught in a Geneva high school in […]

“Geneva launches Ramadan school probe,” SwissInfo, March 21, 2018: Canton Geneva authorities have called in two experts to conduct an external investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct alleged to have been perpetrated by Swiss academic Tariq Ramadan against pupils he taught in local schools. The role of the canton’s education department in the affair will […]

Switzerland: Muslim migrant arrested for bomb threat in church

Mar 3, 2018 7:57 am By Robert Spencer

The bomb threat was at a church, so why is The Local’s headline “bomb threat near Bern station”? Probably because the establishment media wants to minimize awareness of the jihadi antipathy toward Christians and Christianity. The Qur’an commands Muslims to make war against Christians and subjugate them under the rule of Sharia (9:29) and says […]

Islamic Central Council of Switzerland justifies female genital mutilation

Feb 25, 2018 9:09 am By Robert Spencer

There are growing movements in the West that are calling for female genital mutilation to be eradicated. While that is good, they are doomed to failure. Why? Because they refuse to address the Islamic justifications of the practice, and even deny that they exist. FGM is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every […]

Switzerland: Muslim migrants “behave like movie stars, want expensive clothes, don’t integrate”

Jan 27, 2018 7:10 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

In Switzerland, a country that does not know 90% of the identities of asylum seekers, its “refugees” “behave like movie stars,” expect “expensive clothes,” and refuse to integrate. It is because nothing is expected of them, so they continue their sharia norms, which includes the concept of the jizya, in which inferior infidels pay up: […]

Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands: Between 80% and 99% of Muslim migrants unemployed

Jan 21, 2018 10:32 am By Robert Spencer

This entire Muslim migrant enterprise was sold to Europeans with the claim that the migrants would replace Europe’s aging workforce. Instead, this. Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims is a Qur’anic dictate: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and […]

Switzerland: Muslim cleric who called for the burning of non-devout Muslims to be imprisoned, then deported

Nov 24, 2017 10:29 am By Robert Spencer

Imagine the embarrassment of Swiss authorities when they discover that what this cleric was preaching was not “extremist,” but was mainstream Islam as taught in many other mosques in Switzerland. But by that time they will have far larger problems to worry about, in large part because of this same willful ignorance. “Islamic ‘hate preacher’ […]

Swiss government asked head of Islamic State jihad terror cell to work with Muslim migrants

Oct 11, 2017 7:31 pm By Robert Spencer

Yet another demonstration of the fatuousness and cluelessness of most non-Muslim authorities, and of the impossibility of distinguishing genuine “moderates” from “extremists.” “Head of Islamic State Terror Cell Was Approached By Swiss Government to Work With Migrants,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, October 11, 2017: The Swiss Federal Prosecutor’s Office (BA) has claimed that an Iraqi migrant […]
