Why?

With the rest, I shake hands, what really seems to be the problem?
The problem is discrimination: you treat girls differently than you do men.
And the most tragic aspect of this no-handshake business, the wearing of niqaabs, burkas, the walking 3 paces behind your man, etc. etc. is that IT HAS NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH ISLAM! NOTHING ! The Qur'An does NOT require it. They aren't even mentioned in the Qur'An!
All this discrimination of women is purely a CULTURAL thing. Not religious!
So niqaab really demonstrates here how confused, misinformed, ignorant, and brainwashed Muslims are about their own faith...
