SWITZERLAND: IMAM CHARGED WITH INCITING MURDER “KILL THEM IN THEIR HOMES”
If imams stopped citing the Quran and Islamic texts and teaching, they would stop exhorting to jihadi war and murder. This Swiss imam is practicing pure Islam, authentic Islam. How is this Swedish imam any different from the imams in California inciting to genocide, or imams calling for whole slaughter in Ramallah or Lahore or…?
He isn’t.
Once famed for cuckoo clocks and chocolate, Switzerland has clearly fallen into the mire along with the rest of Europe.
The as-yet-unnamed imam allegedly called for non-practicing Muslims to be burned and killed in their homes during a sermon on October 21, 2016.
He is also accused of sharing graphic depictions of killings on social media, and of breaching Switzerland’s Aliens Act, for working as a foreign national without a permit.
Despite the seriousness of the charge, the public prosecutor said it would only be pressing for a suspended prison sentence and a 15-year ban on entering the country.
