[@MartinVanBoven]

Whether you feel dehumanised is fully a result of your own mindset and attitude, not of the act of refusing to shake hands. You can /choose/ here. If you feel dehumanised by such behaviour, it's your choice, your issue, and you should deal with by yourself, preferably in silence. I lived in a muslim country for years, and had quite some women refusing to shake my hand. Nothing about that was dehumanising, I just observed they were probably not the brightest or most flexible minds in the mix, and was able to have joyful relations with them nonetheless. To compare: it's not like when someone stabs you, a stab wound would inevitably be a result without you having choice in that outcome...

[@boek2777]

Personally, I don't think that the closest family have to shake hands because everyone already know that you are on friendly terms. If a hand is offered, (still my opinion) it's always a HUGE insult to not respond in gest. I see the 'not even say hello' part as a larger problem. Several friends and relatives have keys to my house but I wouldn't hesitate baning them for life if they entered without my expressed consent. Some of them have permission to enter if they haven't heard from me in a couple of days (I'm dead. Save my dog) but I wouldn't accept anyone entering without banging the door for 10 minutes or more. Unnecessary long text to show the situation, follow. Cool comparison: several years ago I became I'll at work. I soldered on and came home at the same time as always. I had puked several times at work an felt weak as a kitten on tranquilizers. I live alone so I began making a fast snack before going to bed. After only a few seconds, I became so dizzy that I couldn't stand up. I turned of the stove (so I thought) and ended up taking a 70 hour nap on the floor of my main bathroom. I was awakened by my dog gnawing on my ear. I used about 15 000% of my power to scold him before I went back to sleep. This was repeated two more times before I understood that I had to open my eyes and look at him to make him understand the importance of him doing as told. Somehow I managed to do so and hence noticed that the house was full with thick black smoke (the kitchen was on fire for such a long time that the fire alarms was was out of battery). I managed to put out the fire and turn of the stove that somehow worked after being set closer to minimum power than no power for days, before I went outside with the dog. For some reason I felt like I was superhuman if I only could have taken a breath without caughing. It was early morning on December 23 when I got home and the first person to actually reach me was my boss (she called my private phone). She wondered why I hadn't responded to emergencies for several days without even calling in sick. I explained and said that I won't come in for a week. I took a fast glance at my 3 phones (it was 12 years ago so it was an impressive amount at the time) and found almost 600 missed calls and about 2000 sms and mails. I later learned that several of my working buddies had been at my house twice a day (once in uniform and once in private clothes). They contacted my closest naighbor and managed to borrow a ladder so they could knock on the windows on the second floor. Some of them had keys and all of them had legal right to, in this situation, enter any house in the country without asking for permission. They did however value my privacy above that right. In hindsight, they should have entered the first day.

There is an even worse example in Norway when a line of people were waiting for the crown prince of Norway to come through, and as he did, the custom is to respectfully acknowledge that waiting line-up and shake each and everyone's hand - about 8 people - and at the end was a Muslim woman. And as the crown prince extended his hand she pulled her hands close to her person to reject the crown prince's handshake and stood there and *watched* the crown prince extend his and waited and extended it again and waited, before he realised that she was deliberately refusing to shake his hand, publicly embarrassing him. Guys, that was soooo damn sad to watch this happen to this crown prince of Norway, she made him look belittled, even shamed by what she did. But check out the hypocrisy of these people: take the same Muslim woman and place her in front of the king of say Saudi Arabia going through a line of waiting dignitaries to shake their hands and she would shake his hand noooooooooo problem, with a big smile.

It's always the double standards of being tolerant and accepting of different cultural norms: only we Europeans are expected to adapt and put up with everything for the sake of multiculturalism. Not to accept a handshake isn't just a bit rude. It is offensive to the extreme and a deliberate humiliation of the person who offered her hand as a sign of peace and goodwill. Now Europeans are trained from an early age not to react violently when insulted but try to argue verbally with the offender instead. I feel like this isn't really appreciated by our numerous guests. They are just laughing at our weakness and brazenly exploit our propensity to self criticism.

If the mere encounter with other cultures is disturping to them perhaps they should learn to work with themselves to become more tolerant human beings. As a very caring person I will always offer to guide women to the ladies´ bathroom where they can go and cry in privacy when they are upset just to ensure nobody aren´t being bothered by their pathetic moaning. Oh, ladies´ rooms, right. As a modern man I really don´t have a problem with the current Scandinavian norms of implementing gender-neutral toilets where men´s urinals have been removed.

But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand. [arabic word used in this verse is Durba - which is used throughout the quran to mean BEAT or STRIKE] Women, are like dogs and donkeys Sahih al-bukhari 511, book 8, hadith 158 - The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me.

This matter of theirs spread widely, and it reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur'anic verse: "Your wives are a tilth to you, so come to your tilth however you will," i.e. from in front, from behind or lying on the back.

And that assumption was based on what he thought her gender is and what gift preferences based on gender would be. He thought all women like flowers so take them. I believe I ran into this with my ex-fiancé as she did not want to shake hands with men at work. She would complain to me about it. I did not touch her or it was by mistake or at her request if I did. I do not remember what she did in professional settings.

[@kalex888]

Agreed, the workaround was probably worse and hilarious

[@FriendlyExmuslim]

😂 Yeah

[@NewWay_99]

Wasn't he also obligated to lower his gaze? That I did not see him do. The pick and choose of Islamist. He knows, he is on TV so let me make theatrical scene to prove to my fellow Islamist I can stand firm. Europe wake up already!

[@MartinVanBoven]

Worse and hilarious indeed. I do however feel that he deserves points prepared for trying to mitigate what he obviously realised was going to be a faux-pas. There was good intent I think. Also, it shows that at some level, he realised there is a problem with his behaviour. It gives me some hope.

[@SalocinDotTEN]

They had a full discussion on that greeting. Wow.

I mean he can greet in the way he wants to, but the rest of the world has the same right to think he is a rude, controlling sexist

No, if he cannot be courteous to everyone in the host country, he shouldn’t go there. Period.

A firm handshake with good eye contact is my favourite way to make contact with a person. If I'm denied that, or if a person lunges in for a hug with no eye contact instead of a handshake, I might feel disempowered, dishonoured, and uneasy about whether I can trust him. Though I'd give this Muslim man some credit for making good eye contact, which some fundamentalist Muslim men have refused to give me.

[@metamaggot]

Ahh don't be to strict about it ,I'm autistic and sometimes I find shaking hands quite difficult,let alone looking at people in the eyes

[@EKG15x]

Would rather shake hands than to give flowers

[@ansamgroshong]

I don’t think I’d mind it if a man didn’t shake hands with me (as long as he’s otherwise respectful). If it’s part of his belief, then I would respect it (though also won’t agree with it). I mean this is religion, if you believe something then you have to do it because you believe it’s God who wants you to do it, and not because you like it or not like it. Though she (or you) made a good point that this affects women more than it affects men. I think the change should come not from individuals, but from the teaching. Imagine if the Imams taught that it’s not a problem and we’re in a different culture and you don’t need to follow that Hadeeth literal. if they taught that, then most followers would be ok with it too.

[@rossini55]

I now have an image in my head of the absurd scenario of this sheikh meandering down the street trying to keep his distance from every woman, crossing the road, doubling back on himself, going round the block. Hugging the walls or standing in the corner of a room or looking for an empty seat on the bus just to avoid women. How does this guy get anywhere? It could take him an hour just to walk to his local shop. 😂

[@doubleplusgoodthinker9434]

I remember years ago I had a Saudi guy staying with me. He came back from a holiday and brought us presents. He bought me a pot plant, my wife a hand bag, my four old year son a toy robot and my eight year old daughter - nothing! When I asked him about this afterwards, he told me that if he had given her a present, it would indicate that in his culture he wished to marry her. An eight year old? PS. Later I went out and bought my little girl a present.

[@MollyPitcher1778]

LOL the hypocracy to not be able to honor your host country's customs but you are free to take women for slaves for personal use. What he did is an insult. Why is that guy even in Norway? If he can have 4 wives, temporary wives, and slaves, what's it to his wife if he simply shakes a woman's hand for a business encounter?

[@jesperlykkeberg7438]

- He insulted me, your honor. (Judge): "How?" - By giving me flowers, your honor. (Judge): "But, how is that an insult?" - Well, It obviously made it clear to everybody just how easily offended I am, which made me look like a giant fool. (Judge): "Ha, ha!"

[@theodoreconstantini2548]

Why even migrate to a country if you believe its values, norms, culture habits, are completely at odds with your own religion/culture, and then demand that, the society accommodate you . As If that is not going to create tension. I mean you need to be willing to compromise and be fexible. . My parents were migrants and that's how they handled it. They were very grateful for being able to settle in the country they did and to be able to escape extreme poverty and hardship. They worked very hard, (and did well) and accepted their adopted country on it's own terms and I'm so glad they did, because the place has been so good to them and I have had a great life largely because I was born there.

[@dansedevie123]

If someone refused to shake my hand, even though I don't agree with it, I would just let it go. Especially as he tried to show his appreciation in another way. Some people just don't want to shake hands for various reasons, especially post pandemic. As long as they are not trying to be rude. The minister's response I felt was more awkward and rude.

[@MartinVanBoven]

It seems to me at the core of issues like this is always a combination of a few things: A set of convictions that are seen as outlandish or even harmful in the environment you're in, combined with a completely fundamentalist belief in the superiority of those convictions and a lack of flexibility and tolerance coming from it. And of course, the lack of flexibility and tolerance most often (not always!) stem from the conviction being /religious/, i.e. "universally and eternally correct" convictions. Just the other day somewhere on social media I saw a man declaring that "islam is not a religion, it's life itself", go figure. To get rid of the friction, there's two options: Start understanding and accepting the outlandishness of your convictions, or show flexibility and tolerance i.e. adapt your behaviour even while still believing in your convictions. Contemporary islam seems to be weak on both points. It varies per region, and at an individual level, but that really is the observation. It means they willingly choose friction, no matter the flowers, smiles, and nice hand gestures. I'm guessing christianity in the past was much like this, but was mellowed by the appearance and acceptance humanism and enlightenment. These movements grew in a society that was christian, giving christians ample time to understand, accept, and adjust. It took quite a while though, including fierce struggle. I still hope that islam will see through a comparable process, but hopefully much accelerated by our extremely connected world. Because living with silly frictions like this in our societies just creates misery.

[@sumiben5211]

Why didn’t he mentioned the real reason according to Islam which is in order not to lust after her because shaking hands with her might make him horny.

[@sydneykendall7125]

My husband and I used to rent out a room in our house and shared the kitchen and bathroom with the housemate. When we were interviewing people for the vacated room, one young man rang our doorbell and I opened the door to a short, young, brown-skinned young man who looked at me like he was a deer caught in the headlights of a semi-truck. My first intuition was that he was a Muslim, shocked to see a woman in the house. I motioned him in and extended my hand. He declined, and seemed nervous and uncomfortable. I wasn't offended. I felt sorry for him and his discomfort. He was the one who was facing a clash of cultures with fearful religious consequences. But I knew right off that this guy wasn't going to take the room. But I called my husband in from the garage. We had our interview. Very cordial. Then, as the fellow was about to leave, my husband extended his hand and the guy shook it. I couldn't resist a test. I extended my hand, and he hesitantly took it this time. Then he made a beeline for the bathroom and washed it. At that point I did feel offended, a little. But, still, I felt bad for him that he was so caught in that matrix of beliefs that he felt compelled to do such a thing. It would have been better if he'd just said "I'm sorry, but my religion forbids me to touch a woman not related to me." But he was clearly out of his depth, not sure how to handle the situation. My guess is that he hadn't been in Australia very long. I hope he didn't think he was damned after that. What a cruel religion.

[@thepath964]

I like to imagine this guy owns a floral shop, and everywhere he goes he carries a duffle bag filled with bouquets, so that when the need arises to shake hands with a lady he just reaches into the bag and pulls out some flowers. And when he runs out of flowers he runs back to the shop in a panic to re-stock his supply. What a hard and hilarious life!

[@joerdim]

I think it's quite disrespectful but he should totally be allowed to do this. He is simply losing respect points. The best thing he could have done trapped in his ancient mindset is not shaking anyone's hand. Don't know how he greeted the moderator. But the flowers were definitely out of place. And we should also discuss if shaking hands shouldn't be a thing of the past. It's unhygienic and thinking how many people don't wash their hands after using the toilet...

[@lisadabbs2181]

I agree with you after de Covid fiasco. I prefer the Japanese greeting. A simple vow.

[@RobespierreThePoof]

It would be against Norwegian values to not "allow" him to do this. But if you do so, it is rude and it is also very Scandanavian to tell you very frankly that your values and manners are not appreciated.

I realy do not like shaking hands. I will never forget when we had a guy from Dubai in our office. I was thinking .... cool no hand shake. The guy grabed my hand because he wanted to be polite. That was funny.

Sooo patronizing, and in comparison to a simple handshake giving someone flowers for no reason is way more charged? It's so weird

[@Kristian-li7uk]

We have had several such incidents in Norway, for example where a muslim boy refused to shake hands with the female headmaster who was giving him his diploma when his class was celebrating end of secondary school. The headmaster was later criticized for her response where she told the attendants that his refusal was not ok because shaking hands is custom in Norway and something everybody should respect. She was accused of not respecting the boy's desire to keep distance to a woman, showing cultural chauvinism, hurting the boy's feelings and so on. And the criticizm didn't come only from muslims but also from left-oriented Norwegians.

Hey @FriendlyExmuslim I have a curious question, Do men shake hands with men in Muslim countries? I know in places like India and Japan they do a namaste type greeting with palms closed and a bow.

Yes they do. There are other greetings, such as the hand on chest or in the UAE and northern Oman the nose touch or cheek kiss.

I notice the cross around the neck of the Minister. This would have made the bearded man's hand start to burn as if it was in hell already. He would have been getting ready to read this verse of his holely koran to her. If he had any balls he would have done it during the interview. Holely koran Chapter 9 Verse 29 " Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor comply with what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth from among those who were given the Scripture,1 until they pay the tax,2 willingly submitting, fully humbled." The people of Norway would then at least see what type of beings are rejecting shaking their hands and ask them politely to go back to where they came from for they have no business being in Norway.
