Switzerland Bans Burqas And Then THIS Happens This would never happen in the United States, but maybe it is time we took note about this trend happening in European countries throughout the world. According to reports, women caught wearing a burqa in Switzerland will now be fined up to $10,000, thanks to new measures being put in place by the local government. Women are now banned from wearing burqas in shops, restaurants or public buildings in Ticino, southern Switzerland. Local leaders approved the ban after gaining support of two-thirds of voters. The new law will apply both to citizens and visitors. Those traveling into Ticino will be told about the policy at the Italian border. What do you think? Do you support this measure?
