The Federation of Islamic Umbrella Organizations in Switzerland (FIDS; French: La Fédération des organizations islamiques de Suisse ; FOIS), together with the Coordination of Islamic Organizations Switzerland (KIOS), is one of the two most important Muslim organizations in Switzerland . Like KIOS, it is a member of the Swiss Council of Religions . The organization was founded on April 30, 2006 and its president was Hisham Maizar until his death in May 2015 . Its new president is Montassar BenMrad , Önder Günes and Pascal Gemperli are their spokesmen. The office is in Regensdorf ZH.
