Somalia's al-Shabab bans mixed-sex handshakes

This from BBC News Africa:


"Men and women have been banned from shaking hands in a district of Somalia controlled by the Islamist group al-Shabab"

O.K. - how damn far can you take this patriarchal crap? Please do not try to import these "customs" to any western nations. This subjugation of women goes far beyond either religion or custom -- it's misogyny, pure and simple!
