Europe’s largest Islamic centre planned

By: Nabil Raza

BERN, Switzerland: One of the largest Islamic cultural centres in Europe could be constructed just north of the Swiss capital, Bern.

The 23,000 square metre centre, the concept of which has been proposed by Umma, the coordination centre of Islamic organisations in Switzerland, will comprise a museum on Islam, a mosque, a convention centre, offices and a four star hotel.

Umma spokesman Farhad Afshar confirmed reports in the NZZ am Sonntag newspaper and said that central to the project was "the prospect for a differentiated dialogue with Islam".

The land belongs to the city of Bern and is part of the development project called "Wankdorf City".
