The Swiss city of Lausanne has blocked a Muslim couples bid to become Swiss nationals over their refusal to shake hands with members of the opposite sex.




There is absolutely no reason why they shouldnt shake hands with the opposite sex and tbh is just a sign of being on the more extremist side of beliefs

As a Swiss myself, I'm glad they didn't get their citizenship. There has to be some middle ground between their traditions and ours. Not shaking hands is definitely not middle ground, it's leaning towards the bullshit of their country.

Read one article about shaking hands and claim they're "obviously worse than ...". Yeah, sounds reasonable. SMFH.

My understanding is that Switzerland is very strict about assimilating to their culture, and are not shy about dropping the hammer over minor things like refusing to shake a woman's hand. They don't put up with that shit

It was shaking hands with the opposite sex. So unless they brought in a filthy lady prostitute off the street just for a handshake, your reasoning is garbage.

This. If it's too much to just SHAKE A PERSON'S HAND, then they can go back to where they disrespect women.

The entire immigration process for Muslim new comers should be handled by ONLY women as part of the test! With women making a determination of if they are behaving appropriately towards other women! Any failure is a auto rejection and deportation!
