Geneva (AFP) - The Swiss city of Lausanne has blocked a Muslim couple's bid to become Swiss nationals over their refusal to shake hands with members of the opposite sex.
The municipality said it refused to grant the couple's citizenship application over their lack of respect for gender equality, Lausanne mayor Gregoire Junod told AFP.
He said a municipal commission had questioned the couple several months ago to determine if they met the criteria for citizenship, but had determined in the ruling made public Friday that they missed the mark on integration.
He refused to divulge the couple's nationalities or other identifying details, but said they "did not shake hands with people of the opposite sex."
They also "showed great difficulty in answering questions asked by people of the opposite sex," he said.

They won't hesitate to rape women and take them as slaves, but shaking a hand is not Islamic.
believers can rise up, take their lands, rape their women and kill and enslave all the men, exactly as Mohammed commands
2. Slavery is permitted in Islam, and was in fact legal in Saudi Arabia up to 1962, and continues in de facto form throughout the oil countries.
Yup. Kuwaitis had a chimp-out when the Government required that Sla-- er, Domestic Workers, keep their passports and get one day off a week.
