Some male Muslim students in Switzerland will no longer need to shake hands with their female teachers, following a ruling that has caused an uproar and consternation in the country. Education authorities in the northern Swiss municipality of Therwil, in the canton of Basel-Country, reached the controversial decision after two male students complained that the Swiss custom of shaking hands with the teacher is counter to their religious beliefs if the teacher is a woman.

Oddly, it was a local decision by the local school board....not to back up the teacher. As soon as the regional guys get wind of this...they will reverse the episode. The thing is....with duality written into the Koran, once you decide to live among westerners and non-Muslims, you are granted a waiver from various Muslim habits. For some reason, these punk kids weren’t explained the duality rule.

This is like your doctor wearing a latex glove. It’s for his protection, not yours.

How totally OFFENSIVE to not shake a ladys offered hand. They need to go back to the 11th century and live in tents and drink camels milk.

Strangely, I don’t have a problem with this.

I can’t stand hugging women that aren’t my wife, for example.

Of course, I am on the autism spectrum.

Touching a Muslim dude’s left hand? No thanks.

Win-win.

Fight the creeping invasion at every turn, remove the local educational officials immediately. Young Muslim males are invading soldiers, expel them as well.

Very amusing. One piece of political correctness (Religions such as Islam must be respected) is put into conflict with another piece of political correctness. (Women must be treated as equals.)

They are going to have to decide which of their politically correct doctrines is more important because they won't be able to keep them both.

muslims are steadily gaining a foothold in the good old USofA as well; sharia creep, if you will.

As evident as this is, womyn all across the country are bent on eradicating the influence of the straight, white, Christian male. In their myopic thinking, the white man makes up the misogynistic-riddled patriarch and is the arch enemy.

American womyn have sowed the seeds of their own destruction. What’s going on in Europe is only a taste of what they will be faced with in the US.

In Switzerland, of all countries ... a heavily-armed mountain redoubt where even Hitler and the Nazis didn't dare tread ...

What the **** happened to the Swiss?

I suggest we resurrect the culture of cultural imperialism where they follow our rules or their either get off the land or under it.

We all know what a Muslim dude uses his left hand for. But did you know what he uses the right hand for?
