Offenders Face $10,000 Fines as Burka Banned in Swiss Region of Ticino

There has been heated public debate in Switzerland after the region of Ticino voted to ban women from wearing full-faced Islamic veils such as burkas or niqabs in public, with anyone caught breaking the rules at risk of facing fines up to US$10,000.

Crusade Against Tolerance? Estonia May Ban Migrants From Wearing Burqas Parliament passed the law, which came into effect this week, after more than 50 percent of the population in the largely Italian-speaking region voted in favor of the changes in 2013.

Initially, the plan would have excluded people from wearing balaclavas and masks during protests, however it was reported that lawmakers restricted the ban to religious veils to avoid comparing people who wear the garments to masked hooligans.

The ban will apply to both tourists and locals, with anyone caught breaking the rules facing fines of in between US$100 and US$10,000.

Wear your burkas. Be a second class citizen and obligated to be raped, tortured, genital mutilation, stoned, and at the very least walk behind your men.

Fine, be nothing more than a sperm dump from some barbaric stinky disgusting man who also probably f*cks goats, while Western women excel beside their men who adore them and have all the freedom to do as they wish.

And guess what, you dumb ass Islam subservient women?? Western women have what's called an orgasm! Doubt you few have such and your men don't give a sh&t either way. They see you as cattle/positions. Western women have them and us Western men enjoy that, not to mention just admiring the female mystique. WE DON'T OWN WOMEN.

I understand that in Muslim controlled countries you are taught to be subservient from birth. What I don't get is why a Western woman would want to join such a misogynistic brutal denigrating lifestyle.

Hey, National Organization for Women (NOW) you want a REAL cause? Look towards the slavery and brutality of Islam women. What's that? Crickets .........

If all Muslims disappeared tomorrow, I don't think anyone outside of the faith would miss them.
