Switzerland overwhelmingly votes for burqa ban with £6,500 fine for Muslim women who rebel
UK Express ^ | 11/25/2015 | OLI SMITH

Muslim women can no longer wear the full-body garment in shops, restaurants or public buildings and anyone caught flouting the ban could be struck with a £6,500 fine.

The local government of Ticino approved the referendum after the Swiss Parliament ruled that the ban did not violate the country's federal law.

Two in three voters in the canton backed the move in an overwhelming result for a referendum, in the wake of heightened terrorist alerts across Europe.

The law which MPs voted for only applies to veils which covers the body from head to foot worn by the 40,000 Muslim women in Switzerland and also applies to all tourists visiting the area.

Funny how Europe is just now awakening to the threat from radical Islam while our POTUS continues to cover his eyes, and assure us everything will be fine if we allow these so called 'refugees' to come to America.

As far as I am concerned, a Muslim woman (or man, who can tell?) wearing a burqa (burka, et al) is the equivalent of wearing a KKK hood, a Nazi Gestapo uniform, or the accoutrements of witchery. The harshest possible punishments should be imposed.

Awesome. Finally people are saying that to immigrate you must assimilate to the culture....not require that your new country assimilate to the immigrant’s culture.

I hope for more of this world wide !!!

Since I am a compassionate conservative, I'd offer them this choice in lieu of the fine: A free one way ticker back to the sandbox of your choice once you sign a paper renouncing all residency rights, including those of your inseminator who must do likewise.

A tiny country like Switzerland could teach our “leaders” a thing or two.

I would add “stoning” to the punishment - just to be culturally correct!

Laws against objects (clothes or knives or guns...) are a sign of weakness, IMO.

What they really should be doing is expelling the muzzies that undermine and rot their culture, burka or no.

If, on the other hand, a woman closely resembles Jabba The Hutt (or Jerrold Nadler), she should be required to wear a burqa.

“All adult males have to have a gun.”

I did not know that,

Wow! A nation of sanity in a world gone mad.

I wonder if I could claim asylum there because of fear of persecution due to conservative beliefs. :-)

Yes, that’s correct.

There’s an old Swiss saying:
Switzerland has no army.
Switzerland is an army.

*** a Muslim woman (or man, who can tell?) wearing a burqa (burka, et al) is the equivalent of wearing a KKK hood,***

What is the difference between a burka and a 125 year old KKK night rider outfit?
