| Swiss Region Imposes $9,800 Fines On Burqas, Aims At '€˜Islamist Fundamentalists' |
| 2015-11-27 |
The local government wanted the law to also include other forms of headwear that cover the face, including masks worn by demonstrators and soccer hooligans, but the parliament voted to only ban the burqas and niqabs (face veil). This means covering your face in public is legal, as long as you don't do it with a burqa or niqab. Giorgio Ghiringhelli, who drew up the proposal, said the result will send a message to "Islamist fundamentalists" in the country. |

| #4 they have a country, it is democratic the people voted. no burqa for you too bad so sad. I am glad Vive la France also for upholding their secular law - no burqas in the public service or hijabs either. Secular government means if you work for the government you will not be advertising your religion great and good on them |

| #3 The burqa is not called for, rather the covering of the hair (as was followed by certain flavors of early to contemporary Christian sects). |
