Imam faces prosecution after police raid Winterthur mosque

From the Swiss edition of The Local

Prosecutors have opened criminal proceedings against four people associated with a mosque in the city of Winterthur for public incitement to crime and violence.

Police descended on the An’Nur mosque on Wednesday morning to conduct a search of the building and three other houses in the area after receiving evidence against four people, Zurich’s public prosecutor’s office said in a statement.

The investigation relates to a sermon given by the mosque’s Ethiopian imam on October 21st in which he “called for the murder of Muslims who refuse to participate in communal prayer”, said the statement. He also called for those present at the sermon to denounce such people.

The imam and three others are now facing criminal proceedings. A further four men aged 23 to 25 were arrested during the raid for immigration-related offences, said Zurich cantonal police.

  1. Memo to the Swiss authorities: you have the perfect justification, now, for shutting down this mosque, freezing/ seizing its assets (after conducting a forensic audit of its finances; might be fun to follow the money trail and see where that leads), and deporting the imam and a whole slew of others.

    Thought for the day: why not surprise-raid all the other mosques in Switzerland? Take along army sappers, and sniffer dogs trained to detect illegal drugs, cadavers, and explosives; and forensic accountants; and see what you find.  Find any evidence of dodgy activities of any kind… beheading videos, kiddie porn, large stashes of cash (whether real or counterfeit), faked documents (such as passports), weaponry, illegal drugs and/ or explosives and/ or traces of their chemical precursors, false floors/ ceilings/ walls, hidden safes, hidden rooms, undeclared/ illegal sub-basements, tunnel entrances, drug labs, rooms having an apperance of having been used as prisons or torture chambers, etc and so forth… shut the damn thing down and raze it to the ground for good measure.
