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.
If you read the article, they are banning basically anything that covers your face. Title is what it is to get people’s reactions because of course it is.
I feel that everywhere a Muslim is likely to want to cover her face for religio-modesty reasons she is also likely to want to cover her face to protect herself and others from germs. Also to protect herself from damaging UV light.
I hope xenophobes everywhere hang their heads in shame.
I’m tired of hearing about how America is a beacon of racism. This isn’t the first western European country to do this.

And if you read the actual law (in German) basically any reason but being muslim is excempt.
The other big reason which isn’t covered is privacy (in protests for example)…
But thanks for finding the law, you saved me some time. I’ll just add the equivalent text in the Constitutition
So stick a coca cola sticker on your burqa, now its for advertising
