The Swiss National Council, the parliament's lower house, has voted in favor of banning the financing of mosques from abroad, as well as forcing mosques to use local languages instead of Arabic or other foreign tongues, the Breitbart website reports today (September 30, 2017).
If the law passes the Senate, mosques will need to declare who they are backed by, as well as preach in one of Switzerland's major languages; namely, German, French, Italian, or Romansch.
The vote took place on September 26, with 94 members of parliament voting in favor, and 89 opposed.
Saudi Arabia is well known for funding the spread of its radical Wahhabist interpretation of Islam in Europe, which many believe could lead Muslims to perform terrorist attacks.
