ICC Note
“Any Muslim in any part of the world who works with Switzerland is an apostate, is against Muhammad, God and the Koran.”
02/26/2010 Libya (BBC News)-A top UN official has condemned as “inadmissible” Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s call for a jihad, or holy war, against Switzerland .
“Such declarations on the part of the head of state are inadmissible in international relations,” said Sergei Ordzhonikidze, the UN chief in Geneva .
Col Gaddafi criticised a Swiss vote against the building of minarets and urged Muslims to boycott the country.
A Swiss foreign ministry spokesman declined to comment on the jihad call.
“Let us wage jihad against Switzerland , Zionism and foreign aggression,” he said.
