Bill prohibiting foreign financing of Swiss mosques and requires preaching in national language passes lower house

Mosques in Switzerland should be prohibited from receiving financing from abroad and imams should be required to preach in a Swiss national language, the country's lower house of parliament has decided.

MPs voted 94 to 89 in favor of a bill proposed by the member of the Lega dei Ticinesi party, which aims to make rules for mosques in Switzerland stricter, the local media outlet Neue Zuercher Zeitung reports.

The legislation stipulates that mosques would be forbidden from receiving foreign money.

They would also have to declare where their financial backing comes from and for what purpose their money would be used.

Imams would also be required to preach in the language of the area where the mosque is based.

That language would be one of Switzerland's official languages - German, French, Italian, or Romansch.

However, the bill - which will now be passed onto the Swiss Senate for further debate - is not backed by the country's federal government, which believes it discriminates against Muslims by placing them under suspicion, and thus fuels the arguments of extremists.

Bern is also against the language requirement, believing that freedom of language applies to people of all religions.

The Wednesday vote isn't the first time Switzerland's lower house has moved to tighten the country's laws when it comes to Muslims.

One year ago, it narrowly passed a bill to implement a ban on the Islamic face veil and other coverings. However, that move was later rejected by the Senate.

Swiss mosques have recently been at the center of a number of police operations over alleged support for radical Islam.

An Ethiopian imam from a mosque in Winterthur was charged with inciting violence after he urged his followers to kill non-practicing Muslims.

Another imam in the town of Biel also found himself in hot water over calls to kill "Jews, Christians, Hindus, Russians and the Shiite [branch of Islam]" as well as other "enemies of Islam."

The Swiss media revealed that the Libyan cleric had received around 600,000 Swiss francs ($620,000) in social benefits from the Swiss government over the last 13 years, but that it wasn't enough to soften his stance towards "infidels."

Senate and Lower House ARE the Federal Government!
If they pass the Bill,the Federal Council can't do a thing about it,except calling a National referendum,and so could anyone,once they can get 100'000 Signatures together within a certain time!
Then it will have to be voted on nationally by the people!

It's in their dogma. They teach this to the younger generations. They preach genocide of anyone who is not a Muslim or a practicing Muslim. The caliphate or Muslim domination of the world preaches this ideology. They are the enemy of the world. They already started practicing domination by overrunning Europe, its laws, and its citizens.

Where did you come up with this? I do agree very observant and well said. :thumbsup: happy

The Swiss federal commission against racism protect Muslim
And Jewish rights ( especially of immmigrants) to religious freedom . It is no different in the USA .. the right to religious freedom is also protected . This bill will never pass .. it is clearly discrimination against Muslims .waving

WE,The People will have the Last word on that!
If they want to build Mosques,let them get the Financing nationally,not from known subversive Salafist Governments and Groups!

By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Tuesday, September 19, 2017

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

President Donald Trump took the United Nations to task in recent remarks at the global body’s New York headquarters, telling those attending a special forum on “management, security and development” that the entity was in dire need of reform.

It’s about time America snipped the U.N.’s wings.

Among Trump’s scolding was a quip that the United Nations has become victimized by its own “bureaucracy and mismanagement.”

No kidding. And guess who pays the steepest price for this big bloat?

America. But of course.

“U.S. Funding of the United Nations Reaches All-Time High,” blasted one Heritage Foundation headline. And that was from 2010. America’s share of the U.N. funding pot has not fallen off much in recent years.


By the current numbers, the United States pays a bit more than 22 percent of the United Nations‘ annual $2.5 billion administrative budget. That’s for administration — for the United Nations‘ regular budget needs.

That’s massively higher than what other countries pay. In 2015, for example, 35 member U.N. countries only paid the near-minimum amount for administration — about $28,269 each. Another 20 countries paid the global body its minimum administration and operation assessments, about $8,470.

U.S. taxpayers are currently also on the hook for billions of more dollars for the global body’s many programs — ones aimed at fighting hunger, fighting climate change, fighting on behalf of resettlement of refugees.

And those costs are substantial — to understate. A couple of examples?

The United States now funds 28 percent — roughly $3 billion — of the United Nations‘ $8 billion-plus peacekeeping budget.

The United States also, in 2016, paid $1.5 billion of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugee’s total $4 billion budget.

In other words: The United States regularly picks up the bulk of the United Nations‘ tab — and oftentimes, for the furtherance of programs and policies that are political hotbeds on U.S. soil, and that aren’t completely supported by the U.S. taxpayer.

In more other words: The United Nations ought to be kissing America’s butt, not the other way around. America ought not have to stand quiet as the United Nations wastes money, spends it to promote programs antithetical to America’s goals or outright criticizes the United States and U.S. allies, like Israel.

Under Barack Obama, it was one U.S. kiss, cater and kowtow to the United Nations after another. But now, with Trump at the White House helm?

Well, in January, Trump signed an executive order directing his team to look for ways to cut U.S. donations to the United Nations, by about 40 percent.

In March, U.S. diplomats warned key U.N. members in a closed-door session in New York to “expect a big financial constraint” in spending, due to a looming tamp-down in U.S. contributions to the global body.

And in September?

Trump, in four-minute remarks to a special panel at the United Nations on management and bureaucracy, warned: Reform or else. He bluntly told those assembled that the United States would not keep mindlessly funding the United Nations without seeing a return for the investment.

“In recent years, the United Nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement,” he told the panel, calling for more accountability among the U.N.’s higher-ups, for protections for whistleblowers, and for fewer bureaucratic and costly hoops for program implementation. He also called for — and get this, a message that ought to resonate with even the socialists of the world — a fairer sharing of the United Nations‘ budget.

“We must ensure that no one and no member state shoulders a disproportionate share of the burden,” Trump said.

Wow, what a concept — a call to fairly spread the fiscal burden.

The fact is, if America stepped back from paying the United Nations, the global body would stutter-step and shutter. If anything, in Trump-speak, that gives America a strong position of bargaining power. America, bluntly, and under Trump, should be able to dictate to the United Nations how global business should be conducted — not the other way around. It’s music to patriotic Americans’ ears.

from a post on FB!

This really is the the 'Truth' according to Hilary: we, the American Public, are to blame for her loss. We, the American Public, are too sexist, too mysogynistic, too hateful, too hate-filled, too nationalistic, too backward, too led by our husbands, too White, too attached to our Electoral College, too attached to our laws, too ill-informed, too ignorant and too just plain stupid to realize the greatness that is Hilary Clinton. I'll admit to being glad I'm an American and know the genius of the Founding Fathers in setting up the Constitution but the rest? Nope. The stupid, sexism, backwardness, etc. are all her's and something she can never admit to because it would cause her to have a mental breakdown. All the better she lost; we don't need a second consecutive POTUS with narcissistic personality disorders. Her blaming us for her loss,proves she has it.

I like him. Hes about as nuts as can be and I like his company. His stock is holding strong and when he starts to mass produce to a level that is more affordable hes gonna dominate the car industry just as Bezos has done with Amazon.

I think hes gonna tap into the trucking industry fairly hard and when he does his stock is gonna go "to da moon" as they say in the investment world.

Though I think the guy is a bit loony on his Mars kick, but eh? Whatcha gonna do. I wouldnt hedge it anymore than I would hedge Ag. HA

and he likes his Subsidies from the Taxpayers everywhere!
Just another Crony-"Capitalist"!ill
