Town in Switzerland Bans Burqas IN BLOW OUT VOTE

Apparently, the Swiss people aren’t cool with having their country turned into an Islamic state. In a blow-out vote yesterday, one Swiss town banned burqas.

Breitbart reports:

The town of Ticino in Switzerland approved a referendum to ban burqas, after the Swiss parliament decided a ban would not “violate the country’s federal law.” Women could receive a fine up to £6,500 ($9,828.84) if caught wearing a burqa, which covers their entire body from head to foot.

“Those who want to integrate are welcome irrespective of their religion,” explained Giorgio Ghiringhelli, who wrote the proposal. “But those who rebuff our values and aim to build a parallel society based on religious laws, and want to place it over our society, are not welcome.”

The local government also wanted to ban masks, but the members of parliament decided to limit the law to burqas “to avoid putting that on the same level as hooligans and masked demonstrators.” However, tourists are not exempt from the law.

It’s good to see at least one European country standing up to the Islamic State.
