/// They argued that Islam does not permit physical contact with a person of the opposite sex, with the exception of certain immediate family members. ///

Oh! if this was only true.

^Pity he gets confused.

[-Talbot-]

Not many have actually given an opinion on whether the boys should have to shake the hand of the female.

I say they should or get on their bike.

Anyone else like to give a opinion?

[Islay]

//Islay, ultra-Orthodox Jews don't demand that the rest of society bends the rules for them.//

They demand their own police force, that if you work for them you abide buy their religious rules.

See all the same.

[naomi24]

Islay, What are you talking about?

[Togo]

//Ultra orthodox jews also don't shake the hands of females outside their family circle -//

I have searched for the evidence of Jews showing a proclivity for the rape and subjugation of women but, guess what.

[naomi24]

Islay, //See all the same. //

Aligning Islam with Judaism is an insult to the Jews.

I think they should be told 'our way or the highway', but fat chance I suppose !

[-Talbot-]

It's not our way, viv but if it is a Swiss tradition it should be respected.

guess what - I didnt bother to read the old testament ....

"Sarai said unto Abram...I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her." Presumably this was done without the consent of Hagar, who had such a low status in the society of the day that she was thought it wasnt a bad deal. ( Genesis somewhere )

hm hem dear dear I agree times change and we should change with them

[viv41]

I know it's not 'our' way, it's just an expression ! And I'm on the side of the Swiss who don't approve.

[Svejk]

Notice Islay never came back to defend, or apologise for, the lies that tumble from her mouth. Seems to be the lefty way.

If Islam were really to take us back to the 15th century it would be a great leap forward from their perspective.

Jackdaw, //If Islam were really to take us back to the 15th century it would be a great leap forward from their perspective.//

That’s about right. Have you seen this?

[naomi24]

If I may add to that, to the people who attempt to align Judaism with Islam please note that unlike Islam, Judaism doesn’t want to take us (the outsiders) anywhere.

Thanks for that link, Naomi.
