Denigrating Islam in Switzerland
by Baron Bodissey https://www.legal-project.org/585/denigrating-islam-in-switzerland Excerpt: Last month's referendum in Switzerland — which banned further minaret construction — generated vehement opposition and disapproval from the usual suspects on the Left and among Muslims. But it wasn't just the OIC and the European transnational clique that objected to the ban; the ruling elites in Switzerland itself were appalled by the "racism" of their benighted countrymen, and have signaled their willingness use any available legal pretext to overturn the results of the referendum, if they can. In a case that is reminiscent of the "hate speech" charge brought against Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff in Austria, a magazine editor in Switzerland has been indicted for "denigrating Islam" in his "racist" utterances on television. This quasi-legal farce is an obvious reprisal for his support of the minaret ban.
