Switzerland denies Muslim girls citizenship after they refuse to swim with boys at school, by Jess Staufenberg.

The girls are understood to have refused to take part in school swimming lessons because boys were present and their religion forbade that form of interaction, according to USA Today. Their applications for Swiss passports have now been overturned.

Meanwhile, the father of two other girls who refused to let his daughters swim with boys was fined $4,000 swiss francs (around £2,900) by a district court in another part of the country.

The Swiss get it. The guests can follow our rules, instead of us westerners submitting to the rules of seventh century Arabia.
