If it's not the standard in other countries (like the one this ninja supposedly comes from) then ofcourse it shouldn't be a problem either because you shouldn't be expected to shake hands.
It does become a realtime problem, however, when a man from a country where it is customary to not shake hands with women emigrates to a country where it is customary to shake hands regardless of sex, and that man still refuses to shake hands with women. Because he then actively insults those women, who – emancipated as they are – expect to be treated as equals to men.
Also the law is on their side! It is illegal to discriminate on the basis of sex in western countries.
If Muslims expect that westerners respect their Muslim customs and laws when they visit their Muslim countries why don't these same Muslims extend that same courtesy to westerners when they, those Muslims, go to LIVE in those western countries? As they do in their millions.
In western countries not shaking hands with women is not only illegal, it is downright rude and denigrating!
BTW, if Muslim men don't shake hands with women because touching might arouse them, which should be avoided, then what the hell are they doing shaking every other man's had for minutes on end, all day long, every day of the year...?
Isn't the logical conclusion that they must ALL be homosexual?
