Egyptian mufti says Swiss insulting Muslims

Egypt’s Mufti Ali Gomaa denounced a vote to ban new minarets in Switzerland on Sunday as an “insult” to Muslims across the world, while calling on Muslims not to be provoked by the move. ” This proposal…is not considered just an attack on freedom of beliefs, but also an attempt to insult the feelings of the Muslim community in and outside Switzerland,” Gomaa, the Egyptian government’s official interpreter of Islamic law, told the state-run news agency MENA.
