    He was not allowed to enter switzerland because Fedpol feared that he calls for violence and actively promotes Hamas (which Switzerland considers a terror organisation). As he crossed the border anyway, he got arrested and deported.

    You can’t enter a country without a visa and wonder why you get arrested…

      The words “islamist” or “islamism” are so utterly meaningless nowadays. Basically means “brown person whose opinion we don’t like”.

      I mean, there are things to critizise about him. But anyone who calls him an islamist juts shows his bigotry or utter stupidity.

      (US citizens also don’t need a visa to enter Switzerland, but that is a technicality.)

          Switzerland is in Schengen, but didn’t join until 2004.
