Switzerland: Conference tackles Swiss-Muslim identity issues

Via WRS:
Hundreds of Muslims are expected to gather in Biel on Saturday for the annual conference of the Islamic Central Council Switzerland. This year’s theme is ”Islamic Identity and Modernity.” As WRS’s Vincent Landon reports, the conference will likely stir debate on how Muslims can be a lively and visible component of Swiss society in the face of some Swiss wanting Muslim culture to remain invisible, as evidenced by the vote to ban the building of new minarets in November last year.
