THE SWISS: AN EXAMPLE AND A LESSON FOR AMERICANS
Swiss region: Muslim boys must shake female teachers' hands
GENEVA (AP) — A school board in northern Switzerland said Wednesday that two Muslim boys who have refused to shake hands with their female teachers for religious reasons can be required to do so, ruling that their parents could face fines of up to 5,000 Swiss francs (about $5,000) if they don't.
A public school in the northeastern Therwil municipality had sought the regional school board's advice after accepting the boys' belief that they should only willingly touch the women whom they will eventually marry. The school had temporarily exempted the teens from shaking hands with teachers.
The boys' refusal set off a debate in Switzerland, which has a tradition of handshake greetings. Like elsewhere in Europe, Switzerland has at times struggled to strike the right cultural balance amid a recent influx of Muslims and other newcomers.
"The public interest concerning the equality of men and women as well as the integration of foreigners significantly outweighs the pupils' freedom of religion and belief," the school board said in a statement. "The social gesture of shaking hands is important if pupils are to be prepared for working life."
Under the decision, teachers at the school can require their students to shake hands. Refusal to comply could land the parents with a warning, a call to a meeting with school leaders, other disciplinary measures, and in the extreme, fines of up to 5,000 francs as part of standard school policies, the board said.
Sanctions would need to have "an educational purpose and be proportionate," it said.
The Central Islamic Council of Switzerland accused the authorities of "grossly overstepping their competency," saying such measures won't help integration but rather contribute to a feeling of alienation among Muslims.
The council said it would take legal action against any effort to apply the sanctions, and ignore any fines.
School board spokeswoman Deborah Murith said the handshake requirement isn't uniform policy at all regional schools, but that the Therwil school had enacted it years ago.
The Federation of Islamic Organizations in Switzerland has noted that politeness is a key aspect of Islamic tradition, and that refraining from handshakes is "inappropriate" in Switzerland.

Islamic examples of muslim tradition and politeness:
Chopping off heads is 'tradition' and 'politeness'
Blowing oneself up in order to murder several others is 'tradition' and 'politeness'
Sharia law, burying alive in the sand, throwing stones to kill, knifing, raping, burning, nailing to a cross, boiling in oil, chopping off body parts and opening bodies and consuming body organs and blood, and murdering is also 'tradition' and 'politeness'
Murdering Christians and others who will not submit to allah is also 'tradition' and politeness'
HOW DOES A SOCIETY ASSIMILATE SUCH IN TO THEIR TRADITION AND WAYS OF LIFE? YOU CANNOT!

I once saw a pro war T-shirt in the 80's that said, "Kill them all and let God sort them out". I think I understand what it means now, in light of the Muslim hypocrisy.

If that is what the boys believe, it is not the Muslim belief as many Muslims touch and rape women before they are married and to women they don't intend to marry. They are lying again. they are allowed to lie to get their way as a Muslim.
Absolutely! Pure BS.
When do we get to start KILLING ALL OF THESE MAGGOTS?
Burn the Mosques, Kill the IMAMS, Sterilize ALL the REST!
Or... Life as we knew it will be gone forever.
I will NEVER YIELD TO ISLAM... NEVER!
Answer to the question in the last paragraph:
YOU DON'T F'ING ASSIMILATE, PERIOD!
