This Country Just Took A MASSIVE Stand Against Muslims… Obama Is FURIOUS
$9,800 fine for wearing full body covering
The local government of Ticino approved the referendum after the Swiss Parliament ruled that the ban did not violate the country’s federal law.
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.
Heightened security measures were put in place before the vote, with metal detectors installed to screen those entering the parliament.
Giorgio Ghiringhelli, who drew up the proposal, said the result sent a message to “Islamist fundamentalists” in the country.
“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.”
Amnesty International termed it a “black day for human rights in Ticino.”
France’s parliament passed the burqa ban in 2010, leading to protests from Islamic groups who called it discriminatory.
Women can be fined up to £150 for wearing the burqa in France, which has the biggest Muslim population in western Europe.
An attempt by a British legal team to reverse the French ban was rejected last year.
European judges ruled that the measure aimed at stopping women covering their faces in public was entirely justified, adding that the garment threatened the right of people “to live together”.
In 2009, Swiss voters backed a ban on constructing new minarets and the ruling Swiss People’s Party has made immigration a key focus of their Government.
