Former Green Liberal Party (GLP) politician Sanija Ameti\u2014a Bosnian-born Muslim and leftist activist\u2014has been convicted by a Zurich court for her blasphemous act of shooting targets depicting Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. On January 29, 2026, Judge Hugo Kronauer fined her 3,500 Swiss Francs ($4,563) for disturbing freedom of religion and endangering religious peace, highlighting the grave insult to Christianity’s core figures: “There was undoubtedly a disregard for faith,” as “the two most central figures of Christianity were shot several times in the head.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The outrage erupted in September 2024 when Ameti posted photos of herself using air gun practice on images from a Koller catalog, riddling sacred depictions with bullets. Facing backlash, she apologized: “I didn\u2019t pay attention to the content of the pictures. That wasn\u2019t right. I\u2019m sorry from the bottom of my heart if I offended anyone!” and deleted the posts. Yet, her defense attorney Peter Bettoni claimed it stemmed from childhood trauma\u2014witnessing her brother’s death in the Bosnian War\u2014as a “cry of pain,” a flimsy excuse that failed to sway the court on intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ameti resigned from her GLP role in Zurich, was expelled from the party, and lost her PR job at Farner. The Zurich public prosecutor sought a steeper 12,500 Swiss Francs ($16,297) for the “public and malicious insult” to believers. Only the far-left Operation Libero defended her as a “politician, co-president, and friend,” despite admitting her actions were “wrong and inappropriate.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This conviction exposes the radical left’s contempt for Christian heritage, where desecration masquerades as personal expression. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
