1 Salhani and his older brother made headlines back in May after they said they could not shake hands with a female teacher since Islam does not allow physical contact with a member of the opposite sex, unless they are family.

So many punchlines, so little time.

2 Can you imagine having this little fucface in a class you are trying to teach?

Teacher deserves a metal for putting up with his bullshit.

3 Teacher should get police protection - I'm perfectly serious.

4 I happen to disagree. I doubt there is a Swiss law mandating handshakes, and nulla poena sine lege (no penalty without a law). This also is a very European principle.

A school may require from a pupil to show respect. If the boy chooses another respectful form of greeting, that should do it.

For example (non Muslim) Thais use the wai, and also a nod of the head will suffice.

A handshake can't be enforced. There are many reasons to refrain from it. You may have a cold, the other person may have a cold.

6 I agree with EC. You can't force contact, and some other form of respect should be allowed.

On the other hand:
1) I am glad the Swiss, at least, are standing up to Muslim bullying.
2) I suspect that this kid and his parents are like Ahmed the clock boy, looking for a fight.
3) Since several other European countries have reported multiple instances of Muslim immigrants groping and raping females in public places, I guess that means the immigrants aren't true Muslims.

7 The family should certainly be watched (daddy is an imam at a Saudi financed mosque, go figure).

But I think what counts is respect. Any disrespectful behavior must not be tolerated. So if the boys refused to greet female teachers, kick them out of school.

But this doesn't sound right

8 I'm sure that within a couple years that these young men will be groping girls at some Swiss Folk Fest anyway.
