Recently in Switzerland, the government has voted on placing a ban on all Muslim headgear. From the article, the understanding behind it is that Switzerland is in a good state with covid that wearing a mask is no longer required, thus by showing their faces it represents freedom to the people living there. When Muslims wear the headgear it is seen as offensive to Switzerland people. Although Muslim people make up less than 5 percent of people living in Switzerland it is still important to talk about as what is being presented here is a pure cultural clash. Switzerland and Muslim ideologies do not align and thus both parties are blinded by what is being displayed. in my personal opinion, I believe no ban should be placed on these headgears. For one, you are taking away a cultural piece of your society. Everyone adds some type of impact to a region. By allowing you to show you are open to all walks of life and is a fundamental piece of bringing the world together in a time it desperately needs to be. Only time will tell if Switzerland will shift off of this ban, but for now, people of Muslim culture must abide by the face-covering ban.
