Fair enough. So you admit men shaking hands with women might be perfectly Islamic?

If someone were to find me the valid daleel (evidence) for it, yes.

And many countries have mandatory military service as a requirement.
And then you have to wear certain clothes. But that is not a problem.

If someone believes that if they shake the hand of the opposite sex, they run the risk of feeling uncontrollable temptation, that tells you a lot about them.

Hence why they don't shake hands.

There are in fact many who state that that makes him unsuitable for his job. If only because he sometimes needs to discuss things with Merkel.
I personally think his assumption that every woman is out to have sex with him or claim he assaulted her means he needs professional help.
Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease.
It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.

Yep.

If making short hand on hand contact makes you filled with powerful lustful urges, you likely have some sexual hang ups.

But you admit we have no reason to think what you say about Islam is any more valid that what others have to say. What you believe is not what laws are based on.
So your personal religious beliefs are not a valid argument for or against anything.

So if you are going to argue against this law you have to do it on non religious grounds.

Again - why not seek professional help ?

Red herring non sequitur whataboutism.
Is Mike Pence applying for Danish citizenship but refusing to shake hands?

If not, he is completely irrelevant here.

How? How does them preventing sexual arousal make them toxic? We're actually only talking about a niche group of people anyway, as most people don't get aroused by touching hands.

The whole damn law is stupid and unnecessary. All whether a person will shake someone's hand or not will tell you is whether a person will shake someone's hand. Nothing more.


If someone is not willing to practice the most basic cultural norm in the host society, then they are likely not going to integrate particularly well into said society, regardless of cultural background. Emigrants should o show a basic desire to integrate on a most basic level, else they likely won't fit well in greater society. If I were emigrating to a Muslim country, I would fully expect to be asked and required to adopt norms that I may find disagreeable, however given it would be my choise to try to emigrate it is my responsibility to respect basic local norms.

If one is so easily aroused that merely touching hands with the opposite sex is enough to make them lustful to the point of making it a hinderance, they have serious issues that need to be worked out.

What are you trying to say here?
You admit you believe laws should be based on your religious beliefs.
So you clearly make a religious argument.

You believe this law is wrong because you believe it is non Islamic.

I'm a dude myself, I can shake his hand.
If I wasn't, no, I wouldn't do that. If I thought that shaking hands with the opposite sex were haram, I'd politely decline and just put my hand on my heart and bow a little. That is, if I had the courage to do that and explain msyelf.

But that's impossible. Everyone knows that shaking hands is the only, only way for humans to show respect for each other.
