Islamic Central Council of Switzerland (ICCS - CCIS) member Nora Illi (L), one of the few Swiss women wearing the niqab, adjusts the hijab of fellow member Ferah Ulucay during a press conference against an upcoming cantonal vote on banning face-covering headgear in public places on September 18, 2013 in Lugano. Ticino will become on September 22 the first Swiss canton to hold a so-called "anti-burqa" referendum. Although the initiative does not explicitly target Muslims--the phrasing to be voted on is "nobody in public streets or squares may veil or hide their face"--it is directed against the burqas and niqabs. Political commentators say the initiative has good chances of being accepted. AFP PHOTO / FABRICE COFFRINI (Photo credit should read FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP/Getty Images)
