The lower house of Switzerland's parliament has given final legislative approval to a ban on face coverings, such as the burqas worn by some Muslim women.

    Like, I get wanting to defend the rights of women under oppressive religions and governments, but how exactly does controlling what women are allowed to wear accomplish that?

      It’s because this has nothing to do with that. It’s virtue signaling that they don’t like Muslims, nothing less and nothing more.
