Framework for deportation

A district court in canton Zurich has given a Muslim preacher, accused of promoting violence, an 18-month suspended prison sentence. It also ordered the 25-year-old Ethiopian to be deported and banned from re-entering Switzerland for 15 years.

The preacher was on trial for calling for the burning of Muslims who are not devout enough in their worship.

By this logic, Switzerland ought to ban all Muslims.

The man is also charged with distributing pictures of executions online and of violating labour regulations by working without a permit.

"His religious views represent a danger to the public," the prosecution told the court. But the defendent's lawyer painted a different picture, saying: "He was merely an unsuspecting asylum seeker who had only been in Switzerland for three months. He is no fanatical Muslim."

True. He's just your average, peaceful Muslim who wants to burn lazy Muslims.
