Muslim girls must attend mixed swim class: European rights court

A Muslim couple who refused on religious grounds to allow their two young daughters take part in boys-and-girls school swimming lessons in Switzerland did not have the right to do so, the European Court of Human Rights ruled on Tuesday.

The ruling by the court was a first on the specific issue of religious beliefs versus school rules where sport, in this case involving some exposure of the body and changing of clothes, is part of obligatory activities.

Schooling, including sports, overrode religious convictions, notably when the school sought to address the couple's concerns by offering to let the girls wear burkinis - full-body swimwear - and change into it without boys present, the court said.

The case ended up at the rights court, based in the eastern French city of Strasbourg, when a couple of Turkish nationality fought a Swiss decision to fine them 1,400 Swiss francs ($1,380) for failure to respect schooling rules.

The Swiss authorities fined the couple in 2010 for refusing to send the two girls, born in 1999 and 2002, to the swimming lessons. After a challenge in the Swiss courts, the parents turned to the European rights court.

Muslim Greek is still an ancient citizen of Europe. European is bound by blood, not culture.

How many muslim Greeks are there in Turkey... 10-20-30 millions?

I know that you hate them with passion but still..somewhere in your subconsious you know that
they are your relatives and that pains you even more.

One of the Serbs told me: "You are greatest disgrace to us" .. .i.e. converted to Islam, I believe
you think the same of those Balkaner Turks.

But it is your religion Orthodoxy that is False. Trinitarian Paganism. By calling Jesus = God you denounce the Creator.

But please stop trying to make us non-European, you won't succeed.

They have nothing to do with Turkey. I saw this on local social media and the people harshly criticized them.

Lol calm down, less than 5 k today.

How so?

5k officialy recognized.

Those hellenes in Turkey DO call themselves "Turks" because they are Turkish citizens speaking Turkish language.

When you say Turk... it means only one thing: A person who have Mongolian, Chinese, Turkic DNA unrelated to Balkans and Italy.

Let's talk facts, not politically correct stats.

Even modern Greece has mostly Slavic peoples who learned Greek and are now considered "Greeks"..

Just observe Greek history in the times of King Otto, you will then understand what I mean.

Technically, there is still more Greeks in Turkey than in Greece.

peace.

There are circa 3 time more Muzzie Serbs from Sandzhak in Turkey than Muzzy + Christian Greeks together. Lol.Anyway Turkey is trash now and everynew day lesser a nation. This country destroyed to make immigrants and refugees happy. This is bad really bad these ethniks do to my country but in all bads there is a good side. Türks identify lesser with citizenship and more with ethnicity so with other Türks in the world. Sorry peoples we have shared so many things with you but we wont share everything with you

You seem to be pretty misinformed about the ethnic/demographic make up of Turkey. Anatolian Greeks and Mainland Greeks are genetically very different from each other, Pontic Greeks have nothing to do with them. Most of the Anatolian Greeks left Turkey about a hundred years ago.Only a part of them got mixed and/or assimilated into Turks. Genetically we have very little commonalities with Greeks from Greece who are heavily mixed with Slavs and Vlachs.
