"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
If shaking the hand of a strange woman is considered intimate conduct, then maybe Orthodox Jews should get over it as well.
“A Muslim asylum seeker lost out on an award for volunteer work after indicating that he would not shake hands with the woman who was to present him with the prize. “
True what you said about orthodox jews being modest/respectful in that way, according to their faith.
However - the muslim thing - NOT respectful but disdainful and DISrespectful.
“Lost out on a prize” as the article says???
When is the world (including US) going to get it - they have their eye on a MUCH bigger prize and could care less about money, trophies or any of the things the western world fancies. We absolutely must stop judging all others by the way WE are and the way WE think.
>>>Some people have religious objections to any form of intimate conduct with an unrelated woman.
Then don’t go to societies where such conduct (ohmygoshhowshameful) as shaking hands is not considered basis for an “honor” killing, or such other stupid belief.
(Yeah, call me intolerant. Some things are not subject to the shilly-shallying of relligious viewpoint.)
If you’re a muslim who cannot be in close proximity with “strange” women, then go home. If you can’t pick up dogs in your taxi, then don’t drive a taxi. if you can’t ring up a customer’s pork purchase, then don’t work in a grocery. If you don’t like the fact that you might have to treat a women with some shred of respect or decency, then get lost.
I’m sick of this idiocy!
OK i stand corrected.. theres an article explaining this linked in the comments. i guess you learn something new every day
