Mosques in Switzerland should not be financed from abroad and imams should be obliged to preach in a Swiss national language, the Swiss lower house of parliament decided on Tuesday.

MPs voted by 94 to 89 in favor of a bill lodged by the Lega dei Ticinesi party, which aims to tighten the rules for mosques in Switzerland, reported news agency ATS. […]

Though the bill was narrowly passed by MPs, it is not backed by the Federal Council, which feels the proposed restrictions are not necessary nor useful, according to ATS.

Mosques in Switzerland should not be financed from abroad and imams should be obliged to preach in a Swiss national language . . . discriminates against Muslims by placing them under general suspicion . . .

Pretend everyone is equal and treat them all the same. New law:

Religious institutions in Switzerland should not be financed from abroad and religious leaders should be obliged to preach in a Swiss national language.

Now that's fair.

Note: On several trips to Switzerland, I have been greeted at the church door by the minister/priest. They ask newcomers about the preferred languages of any visitors and add French, German, Italian, (sometimes Spanish), or English to the sermon in parallel, as needed to reach their guests. It is very welcoming.

Dictate the language the imams use?
Cut to the chase: boot Muslims out of the country.

So it only won by 5 votes. Not all that encouraging.

If the leftist politicians don’t get a handle on immigration, the Swiss national language is going to be Arabic.

I can’t remember the last time I read anything on the subject of enormous Saudi funding of islamic garrisons/mosques in the US.

Good God Almighty, why do our GOP congress and President Trump allow this?
