Swiss Islamic council denies board member promoting jihad
Quote:
Geneva: Switzerland's largest Islamic organisation on Monday defended a board member against allegations from the country's prosecutors over his alleged production of jihadist propoganda.
The Islamic Central Council of Switzerland (ICCS), in a statement, affirmed "full support for (board member) Naim Cherni" and said his work "in no way has anything to do with Al-Qaeda."
Cherni was not named in a Saturday statement from the Swiss attorney general, which said that an ICCS board member was being probed for violating "the prohibition of groups like Al-Qaeda, Islamic State and similar organisations."
The German national is suspected of making a video "for propoganda purposes" with material collected from a trip to war-ravaged Syria, according to the Swiss attorney general.
