Switzerland – Muslim Couple Citizenship Cancelled After Refusal To Shake Lausanne Mayor’s Hand

The Swiss city of Lausanne ranks as a top European place to live and work due to its healthcare provisions, easy climate, excellent infrastructure and above average salaries. It is, therefore, no surprise that they receive a lot of citizenship requests.

Today it has however blocked a rich Muslim couple's bid to become Swiss nationals after they refused, from a devout religious standpoint, to shake hands with members of the opposite sex, and thus also with the Lausanne Mayor who would have sworn them in.

The Lausanne municipality officially declared their refusal to grant the couple Swiss citizenship was based on their lack of respect for gender equality.

Lausanne Mayor Mr. Gregoire Junod explained that a commission had questioned the couple several months ago to determine if they met the criteria for citizenship but that they had determined (in the ruling made public on Friday) that they missed the mark on integration as they "did not shake hands with people of the opposite sex," and "showed great difficulty in answering questions asked by people of the opposite sex."

According to devout Muslims interpretation of the Quran, Islam does not permit physical contact with a person of the opposite sex.

Mr. Junod said that as per the Swiss constitution, “religious practice does not fall outside the law.”

Vice-mayor Mr. Pierre-Antoine Hildbrand who chaired the three-member commission that interviewed the unnamed Muslim couple said he was “very satisfied with the decision. The constitution and equality between men and women prevail over bigotry.”

Back in 2016, there was a similar incident in a private school in Switzerland when it was revealed that two Syrian boys, aged 14 and 15, from a wealthy family had refused to shake their female teacher’s hand on religious grounds.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Muslim?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Muslim</a> couple denied <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Swisscitizenship?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Swisscitizenship</a> over handshake refusal<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GregoireJunod?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GregoireJunod</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Lausanne?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Lausanne</a><a href="https://t.co/Z4y8Sns9fS">https://t.co/Z4y8Sns9fS</a></p>&mdash; News Nation (@NewsNationTV) <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsNationTV/status/1030505663791751168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 17, 2018</a></blockquote>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Many Swiss found this to run against the belief that shaking your teacher’s hand is a sign of respect and a popular outcry over the news overruled the school’s initial decision to allow this.

And most likely they will sue just as the muslim rats that lost jobs over refusal to shake hands. Shariacreeps look to be doing illegal land clearing in Australia most likely for terror training, such a pity muslims and fear of muslims control most of the media. Best of luck Switzerland

To the lying lunatic mooslime vermin poster above: islam is a perverted murderous thieving evil pedophile death cult.

The Quran contains at least 109 verses that speak of war with nonbelievers, usually on the basis of their status as non-Muslims. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter .

The only prise that's going to happen is the prise Gomer Pyle used to say……Surprise , Surprise, Surprise! You were wrong.

See? This is the point. You cannot mix oil and water. These two perspectives have no understanding of the other. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GENDER EQUALITY. Ironically both sides view this particular practice of shaking hands or not shaking hands as a matter of respect. One side does it to show respect the other does not do it to show respect. It is not against the law to refuse to shake someone's hand, whatever the reason may be. Both these parties involved here are just stupid. Why? Because they were both still trying to mix oil and water!!! It isn't going to happen… ever!!! I'm a Christian… they are muslim… we will never mutually agree in perspective… religiously, culturally, or morally. Our habits, our practices and our belief systems have lines and boundaries, respectively. All this garbage about a one world system is a globalist ideology foisted on a public that doesn't want it. Period!! Globalist politicians are the culprits trying to gorge their never ending hunger for power, control and filth, at the expense of people who just want to live their lives in their own cultures with likeminded people WITH LIKEMINDED CULTURES! THATS THE BEAUTY OF ITALY, MEXICO, GREECE, GERMANY, INDIA, WHEREVER!! THATS WHY GOD DREW THE BORDERS AND CREATED A VARIETY OF CULTURES. ALL OF WHICH THE LYING GLOBALISTS WANT TO DESIMATE FOR THEIR OWN AGENDAS!!! THEY WANT TO MAKE US ALL BLANK, EXPRESSIONLESS, ZOMBIES WHO HAVE NO IDENTITY OR PERSONHOOD. THEY SEEK TO DESTROY THE FOUNDATION OF GOD!! THEY WISH TO ENSLAVE US ALL!! THE GLOBALISTS WANT TO BE GOD. AND THAT WE SHOULD BE THEIR SERVANTS.

ACT 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

And yes, I hate terrorists, rapists and murderers, ALL TERRORISTS RAPISTS AND MURDERERS!! NO MATTER WHO, OR WHAT COLOR OR RACE!!!

* WORLD DOMINANCE BY MAN, ANY MAN, IS A SATANIC IDEOLOGY!

** TRIBALISM OR NATIONALISM IS NOT A CRUDE IDEOLOGY.

*** IT IS A CELEBRATION OF THE MULTIFACETED WISDOM OF GOD, HIS CULTURES AND HIS CREATIONS!

**** FREEDOM OF SPEECH, AND EXPRESSION, TO WITNESS AND DISCUSS IS A GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO ALL MANKIND!

I BELIEVE IS JESUS!!

WWG1WGO!

the only good thing about Muslims is that they hate Jews.

Well, technically, Muslim men are allowed to rape and behead members of the opposite sex. Shake hands? Nah.
