Switzerland denies citizenship to Muslim immigrant girls who refused to swim with boys: report
Washington Times ^

Posted on 07/01/2016 4:39:48 AM PDT by quesney

The Swiss government recently rejected citizenship for two Muslim immigrant girls who refused to swim with boys in a coed class at school, USA Today said Tuesday, citing reports from Swiss media outlets.

“The girls, whose names were not disclosed, said their religion prevents them from participating in compulsory swimming lessons with males in the pool at the same time,” USA Today reported. “Their naturalization application was rejected because the sisters did not comply with the school curriculum, Basel authorities said.”

“In Switzerland, unlike in the United States and many other countries, integration into society is more important for naturalization than knowledge of national history or politics,” USA Today explained. “Candidates for citizenship must prove that they are well assimilated in their communities and respect local customs and traditions.”

In the US all that is needed is a pledge to vote for the party of the democrat.

It’s vey difficult to get in, they don’t screw around. If Clinton gets elected it is one of the countries I’m considering moving to (if possible).

What happens when a Muslim girl decides to swim with the boys and then her father kills her for dishonoring the family?

Will Switzerland then create women-only swimming classes?

Frankly, the business of Muslims is not my concern so long as they are NOT in my country, nor killing American citizens and soldiers - here in this country, or abroad.

Agreed. The primitives can kill their own, just keep them the hell away from civilization. We have too many Muslims already.

Notice how USA today picks this story up to promote nationally. What do you suppose their objective is?

I’ve always loved the Swiss. Aren’t they also a country with compulsory automatic weapons ownership and drill?

respect local customs and traditions

They are sent here to destroy local customs and traditions and to establish sharia law in their ghettos. They want many mini-caliphates within our country. No question about it. That is how they're doing it in numerous countries around the world.

Not only good, but damn good.

Period.

Yes...and a competitive shooting spirit.....Shooting and Skiing to the Swiss are like NFL Football and NASCAR to Americans....and just about every house has a select fire SIG 550 series (Officers/NCOs can have SMGs and pistols).

After retirement, Officers keep pistols and rifles.

A lot of layers in that onion.

One layer, the Swiss never joined the EU and implemented quotes on Muslim migrants in 2015, this something the mainstream media will now trumpet post Brexit. If you never joined the EU or choose to leave it’s because your islamophobic.

Swiss and Brirish are bad. EU is good.
