2007-10-08 “The poster is disgusting, unacceptable.
It stigmatizes others and plays on the fear factor, and in that sense it’s dangerous. The campaign does not correspond to Switzerland’s multicultural openness to the world. And I am asking all Swiss who do not agree with its message to have the courage to speak out.”
-- Micheline Calmy-Rey, the current president of Switzerland under a one-year rotation system, said in an interview

2001-11-07 The document was found in a raid of a luxurious villa in Campione, Switzerland. The target of the raid was Youssef Nada, who has had active association with the Muslim Brotherhood for more than 50 years.

Included in the documents seized was a 14-page plan written in Arabic and dated December 1, 1982, which outlined a 12-point strategy to "establish an Islamic government on earth" - identified as The Project. According to testimony given to Swiss authorities by Nada, the unsigned document was prepared by "Islamic researchers" associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. It represents a flexible, multi-phased, long-term approach to the "cultural invasion" of the West.

The Project has served for more than two decades as the Muslim Brotherhood "master plan." Some of it recommendations include:


Using deception to mask the intended goals of Islamist actions
Building extensive social networks of schools, hospitals and charitable organizations
Involving ideologically committed Muslims in institutions on all levels in the West, including government, NGOs, private organizations
Instrumentally using existing Western institutions until they can be put into service of Islam
Instituting alliances with Western "progressive" organizations that share similar goals
Included among this group of Muslim Brotherhood intellectuals is Youssef al-Qaradhawi, an Egyptian-born, Qatar-based Islamist cleric. Both Sylvain Besson and Scott Burgess provide extensive comparisons between Qaradhawi's publication, Priorities of the Islamic Movement in the Coming Phase, published in 1990, and The Project. They note the striking similarities in the language used and the plans and methods both documents advocate.
1997 In Switzerland, a court ruling banned the wearing of hijab by schoolteachers.
