The president of the leftwing Social Democrat Party has added his voice to the religious debate in Switzerland, calling for a discussion about the status of Islam in the country.
The party is the second one to moot the possibility of a new religion article in the Swiss constitution.
"We should think about whether we want to recognise Islam as an official religion so that we don't leave the training and financing of imams to foreign and perhaps fundamental circles," Christian Levrat told the SonntagsZeitung.
"We must ask the question about whether there can be a Swiss Islam."
