Andrea Lüdtke, the head teacher, refused. “He is by no means a radical or extremist,” she told Hamburger Morgenpost newspaper.

He is, however, extremely rude.

The teachers didn't teach him manners
Checkmate atheists

What if the teachers reaction? That wasn't very polite either. Setting superb examples for their charges.

Welcome to the future

100 years ago it was the height of rudeness for a boy to touch a girls hand. Not untill marriage surely.

Ah yes, how rude of her to protest when insulted.

We had a similar thing happen in Sweden recently where the Greens nominated some-guy-whose-make-i-dont-remember to some-position-i-dont-remember and it turned out the guy had been refusing to shake hands with women for years without anyone stepping up and telling him that's not acceptable behaviour, particularly not in a supposedly feminist party. It caused quite a bit of stir and he was made to step down or out or whatever.

I'd linkalink but I'm on my phone and have to get going for work, so no time.

Personally I think that non-discrimination is more important than religious freedom, so I kinda agree with the teacher's boycot (even though I think they should have thought up something that did not affect the rest of the classmates).
Not shaking hands, just because of sexe, is sexist discrimination using religious freedom as a pathetic excuse.

It's just as bad as a KKK member refusing to shake hands with a black person.


So, please do shake hands with women #MakeAllahGreatAgain

[Sheb]

What if he refused to shake hands with anyone?

[martinuzz]

I'd be okay with that.

If some religious guy would come and say "I am not allowed to shake hands with a woman because of my beliefs, but I also don't want to discriminate, so I decided to not shake hands with anyone", I'd be all like "Yo, welcome to our modern world brother. Can I hug you?"

It's discrimination one way or the other. Aye, refusing to shake the hand of a woman is stupid, but then having a shitfit because someone won't shake the hand of a woman for religious reasons is also stupid.

The fact the teachers just went from "oh that's not nice" to "FUCKING MUSLIM BASTARD WON'T HAVE US SUPPORT HIM AT THE CEREMONY, BUT THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT MORE THAN JUST HIM SO OOPS" instead of, you know, maybe talking to him and/or his parents about it... most stupid.

Ey what now

So you'd be ok with him doing the same thing for no reason, but because he does it for his beliefs it becomes wrong

[scriver]

For religious reasons? He would still be extremely disrespectful to everyone he meets, but at least he would be fair. But this what if question is really rather irrelevant because there is a huge issue of context here in which Muslim dogma treats women like lesser beings, and this is an expression of that. A situation in which he would "not shake hands with anyone" wouldn't be.

Huh? No? What made you think that?
I'd be okay with him doing it for his belief, as long as he does not discriminate. Don't know how you can read what you read into that sentence.

Were you not replying to Sheb?

Cos if not, who were you replying to?

[MarcAFK]

I'n my culture we murder murderers, but don't murder non-murderers, but that's unfair and discriminatory so how about we just be fair and murder everyone?

Apparently the FM called BoJo a liar on radio this morning. This is starting well.

[hector13]

Which FM? Foreign Minister or First Minister?

Fakedit: Neither, upon checking. Whoops
