| | Islam in Switzerland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Switzerland, and Geneva in particular, is often associated with emirs and other sheiks who enjoy sumptuous palaces, stroll along the harbor in the shade of the fountain and buy out the luxury shops. |
 | | In 1990, the Muslim population was 152,200, or 2.2% of the Switzerland’s resident population. |
 | | It is interesting to note that 76% of the Muslims are settled in German-speaking Switzerland, and 14% in French-speaking Switzerland, which corresponds closely to the resident population distribution. |
