Islamic group cancels unity day

A group has cancelled its “Islam Unity Day 2012" after two communities denied it permission to gather.

The Islamic Central Council Switzerland, or IZRS, today said it must cancel the event planned for February 25 because there isn’t enough time to find an alternate location.

Earlier this week Spreitenbach in the canton of Aargau claimed the Islamic group deceived it when applying for a permit to gather.

The form was filled out by IMS, a production company associated with the IZRS.

Spreitenbach thought is was a school, which uses the same acronym.

Previously Bülach in the canton of Zurich also denied the group a permit to gather.
