Good, wearing a burka is dangerous for safety issue and it means you don't wanna integrate in the new country
every time I see women dressed similarly at shopping centers and malls, they follow behind their husbands like cattle. it's DISGUSTING and misogynistic! get that puritanical BS out of this country!
This measure is disgusting and disrespectful to the many Muslim feminists I know who choose to cover. It is also disrespectful toward Orthodox Jewish women who choose to cover and women of any religious organization who find meaning in dressing as they see fit.
You cannot support this and also claim to support freedom. Freedom includes choosing how to dress.
there are no Jews who wear burqas. try as you might to draw a comparison. fail
I assume they are free to cover their faces at home but once you enter the public sphere you've chosen to participate in a society where open faces are the standard.
So, following that logic, what other non-standard clothing choices can we regulate? Facial piercings aren't standard. Tattoos are more common now, but still not standard. I personally think tank tops are unattractive and awful to have to look at - could we outlaw them in the interest of saving people from poor clothing choices?
Banning a religious clothing item is not compatible with religious freedom, and forcing someone who feels it is her religious duty to cover to take off the veil is not going to make it more likely she will integrate, just as wearing a veil does not necessarily mean the woman doesn't feel herself to be integrated. This is a terrible idea born out of fear that will not have the results the Swiss purport to want.

Interesting how those from western societies who claim they care about women's rights
chose to primarily target their discrimination at Muslim women and not Muslim men!
why? because a Muslim man actually look like anybody else. he can be white (think Turkish or Bosnian or Russian)
people need to come up with a better way to target those whom they don't like.
Yes, the same bunch of sanctimonous men who purport to care about women's rights, but say no to expanding access to reproductive services, child care, and increasing the minimum wage or strengthening ways to bridge the earnings gap between men and women.
This is sad. I see no difference in telling women what they must wear and what they can't wear.
