(Swiss Info) The Federation of Islamic Organisations in Switzerland has warned against associating crimes with a certain religion.
In an interview with the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) on Tuesday, federation spokesperson Pascal Gemperli said that someone’s religious affiliation was not a determining factor in crime.
Muslim teenagers are not disproportionately represented in juvenile crime proceedings, according to Gemperli.
“We often observe that Muslims are quantified as a block, while Christians are split into their different churches,” Gemperli said in the interview.
