Swiss Muslims denounce islamophobia with infamous yellow badge

Recently, the Swiss were invited to enjoy a BBQ and a beer while killing Jews. Now this.

A Muslim radical group has launched a poster campaign (above) to denounce rampant islamophobia is Switzerland.

The campaign is also approved by moderate Muslims. “It is true that as Muslims we feel we have become the new scapegoats”, says Lucia Dahlab, vice-President of the Union of Muslim Organizations in Geneva.

“A parallel with the discrimination suffered by Jews in the 1930s is made here and I do not say otherwise. Now playing with a symbol like the yellow star is inevitably difficult. But is it not a means to make people think? I think we have entered an era where communication campaigns focus on shocking people. As the UDC campaigns show. So yes, I would campaign with a more nuanced approach. But do we still have a choice?”
