First lady’s handshake with conservative Muslim raises Indonesian eyebrows

[Drunken Irishman]

Interesting. The guy obviously made a mistake and then instead of admitting it, lies and makes Michelle Obama look bad.

1. He can't even just shake hands with a woman?

Gawd what a religion.

And he did shake her hand. She didn't do anything but act normal in that situation. If he didn't want to shake hands, he should have stayed out of the line or put his hands behind his back and explained.

5. Fundamentalists of ALL kinds (Muslim, Christian, etc.) are scared to death of women.

And even more scared to death by their own repressed sexuality.

People always try to hide, cover up, dominate and control the things they fear.

It's the same reason old school hard line Communists tried to hide, cover up, dominate and control information. They were scared to death of the truth.

People who live in such a constant state of fear are always dangerous.

2. The man's a dork. He obviously was very excited to shake her

hand, and I don't blame him for that one bit, but to blame it on her is just cowardly.

3. Prove Obama is a

not Muslim, ;)

4. That was one of my first thoughts!

Of course, anyone who saw Michelle on The View during the campaign would've known that because they eat bacon, but who cares about the details?

:P
