Another town denies Islamic group rally

The controversial Islamic Central Council Switzerland, or IZRS, has been denied a place for a rally for the second time.

Spreitenbach in the canton of Aargau has cancelled permission for “Islam Unity 2012" saying the permit was given by way of deception.

The town claims the forms were filled out as “private gathering in a circus tent for IMS Zurich,” which the town assumed was a local school.

It was instead a production company.

Spreitenbach officials also claim a gathering of more than 1,000 people needs a special permit.

The IZRS balked at that, saying there is nothing in police regulations about special permitting.

The group threatened a protest action “against racism and Islamophobia” if permission was pulled.

An attempt for IZRS to meet in Bülach in the canton of Zurich was also denied
