What's the official reason for that law?
The official reason is "in our culture we show each other our faces"
The real reason is "I'm racist and I hate muslims"
Source: am swiss. (I voted against this law.)
Are you Muslim or just dense?
My density is approximately 0.9 g/mL
It's called freedom. I don't like the custom and I'm not religious but forbidding others from practicing theirs isn't OK.
This is the work of right-wing conservatives making empty gestures to "protect traditional Christian families" instead of doing something useful. But fearmongering gets them easy votes and with an aging population, even easier to scare old grandma and grandpa with "Muslim invaders".
Who?
Swiss People's Party. But as a direct democracy, it means they've convinced/scared enough old folks to vote in favor of this, and the rest of us have to accept it.
The problem with this one in particular is that there was an unholy alliance between some misguided women's rights activists and the racists

(punishment)

Nope. It's not. Their sect is hardly even considered Muslim by the Muslim majority.
