This is an interesting development. I believe this is positive. If one immigrates to another country, they must integrate and respect that culture. If they don't like that culture, they should immigrate to a different country.

Haha. I just spoke to a good friend about this. He is a germophobe.

It's a Swiss boarding school.

Pretty sure they have lavatories with soap.

Me, I'd be the one to start giving dap
or the Predator arm wrestle shake.

Lots of countries where they don't have to shake hands with women or Jews. It's not like it's a Friday afternoon orgy with pulled pork buffett.

Plus, it's probably one of the euro-weenie handshakes.

[Firefly]

yeah. Some places are no more than a brief clasp of the hand.

Here in America you are actively trying to destroy the other guy's hand and thst's if you like him.

Well it's a start in the right direction at least . . .

Amazing that silly laws like this are being pursued, when we all know the root of the problem. Shaking hands with women, gays, etc. is the most minor symptom of the disease in question.

Wouldn't ya know, they can emigrate their oppressed selves right to them. I'm sure that much of the Muslim world would welcome them in leaving such an intolerant and hateful place as Switzerland...

Exactly. Why does western society put up with these people immigrating and expecting the west to accommodate their bass ackwards 4th century ways. Go live in another country practicing 4th century civilization and stop polluting the well of western civilization.

That's a rhetorical question. They do it because that is the point - Islamic subjugation by a thousand cuts and higher birth rates of Muslims than their "host" countries.
