Unbelievable what Muslim asylum seekers do just to stay in Switzerland

A priest from Germany arrives in Switzerland. As locals leave the Christian churches, refugees seek refuge next to them. Among the converters are mainly Iranians and Afghans. Many people get baptized as Christians in Switzerland, writes “NZZ am Sonntag”, traces albinfo.ch.

In particular, such a ceremony is held in the gospel church “Freicirchlichen”. They organize Bible classes or prepareable baptism classes.

In Aarau, Bern, Stans, and Cyril, services of worship are at the same time translated into Persian. Observers are talking about a steady increase in conversions over the past two or three years.

Muslim asylum seekers who are becoming Christians in Switzerland are facing difficult immigration issues. What if converting only changes trust because they hope they have better chances during asylum procedures? They may then claim to be persecuted as Christians in countries of origin like Iran.

However, many people fail in trying to convince the authorities of their religious changes. Thus the State Secretariat for Migration writes in a view of the refusal to apply for asylum by an Iranian family, particularly Iranian asylum seekers claimed conversion to Christianity. This in principle raises the question of whether the change of religion is really done for religious reasons or only to gain the right to residence in this way.

Federal Administrative Court, in case of asylum decisions, deals with conversions according to “NZZ am Sonntag” about 30 times a year. Many cases involve Iranians, Syrians, Afghans and North Africans. However, they rarely enjoy asylum rights in Switzerland.
