stone age religious beliefs from a literal patriarchy have no place in civilized society

So you admit that Christianity has no place in civilized society.


Christianity has reformed itself and is decent compared to Islam.

christiantiy and islam both need to go, but christianity is clearly the lesser of two evils here, plus islam isn't embedded in western culture. so its easy to stop them from bringing it here whereas its difficult to remove christianity.

I can agree on that to a certain extent. But refusing to touch someone because of yoir religion is stupid and not something we should continue to allow to exist.

It serves no real purpose other than to put certain groups of people down or see them as lesser.

No, that would be what refusing to reasonably accommodate a religious belief and insisting complete assimilation does. I'd even go as far to say that's the entire purpose of not making reasonable accommodations for religious beliefs. But feel free to pretend otherwise.

I don't completely disagree, but how much should we allow when what a religion asks might go against more modern values of treating all equally and NOT refusing to touch X people.

All for people having whatever religious belief they want, until it impacts others people.

Why is this even an issue? In the article you posted:

According to the Migration Policy Institute, in 2007 the Swiss federal government laid out, in the Ordinance on the Integration of Foreigners, stricter federal guidelines for the integration process of non-EU/EFTA citizens. The most important measures of integration, according to the ordinance, are mastery of a Swiss national language (German, French, Italian or Romansh) and speaking that language in the home. Other criteria include an understanding of Swiss social life and structure, Swiss laws and the legal system, and matters of community respect.


If you are unaware of the policies and laws that have been in place for over a decade in the country you are trying to immigrate to, whose fault is that?

Reasonable accommodations. You can be a secretary and provide service without shaking hands. You can't be a clerk and provide service if you're refusing to perform basic job functions.

It's " against their religion" because he religion says she's less than a man and is the property of her husband, who will be the only man who can touch her.

No issue with a country not wanting to promote that kind of sexism.

Definitely possible, yes, but I have to agree with Admiral (as much as I hate to) We should look at why someone is refusing to do something. If they have OCD for example, then I think that would be a reasonable reason for them not to touch someone if it manifested itself in such a way, or they had PTSD from an incident. But because their religion deems that woman aren't allowed to touch someone else? I don't know.

Is that something we want to promote and say is okay? Should it be something we okay if someone said they didn't want to touch gays, or lepers etc? It's a careful line to tread, allowing someone to express their religion, while not allowing it to be used to continue to push oppressive and bigoted views. Something we should do with all religions mind, not just Islam. Christianity should be treated with the same disregard for its own backward views on various matters.

Now, if this means we should deny them jobs? I'm less certain on. I think could be better ways to encourage them to actually move to the modern world then shutting them out. I feel that is more liable to just entrench them in their views sadly.

If it's legitimately her religious/cultural/just doesn't want to shake hands belief, it's fine. If she's not doing it of her own free will, that's another thing entirely. It just seems to defeat the ostensible purpose if the way to combat oppressive social mores is to foist competing mores onto her against her will.

Would you be okay with an employer who not hiring someone who openly said "I think women are inferior to men?" Because that's what is happening here.

It's not just the simple gesture of the handshake, it's the implication of why this woman can't touch a man's hand.

Why does it being ones religion make it okay though?

We wouldn't (and don't usually) let Christians treat gay people any different, why should this be any different?

I suppose I can agree to an extent that forcing her to change might not really accomplish what is desired, but allowing bigoted views/mindsets to linger doesn't either.

If that type of thinking is going to have an effect on the business or his work than sure I can't argue with the business. They have the right to refuse both, but the lack of a handshake being the dealbreaker just seems silly.

I'd also add that people in the USA still have different approaches on how they treat each other due to sex that we don't consider offensive. The way we speak (the usage of the words sweetheart and honey are acceptable for women for example). People in relationships have rules for each other when it comes to relationships with the opposite sex.

Also if someone who is familiar with the Japanese culture would make it clear for me, I've heard that some work places will take offense if someone declines the offer of going out with the coworkers. Is this true? The point I'm making with that is many of us will see that as dumb. Everyone doesn't socialize the same way, but if it's not damaging work rep or performance why do those little things matter?

Yes. Then they refuse to perform hair waxing or laser hair removal on a male because theyre Muslim, or refuse to serve certain foods in the menu because they have bacon or pork, they refuse to serve your table because you got a dog even though the restaurant is dog friendly, etc.

If they cant give a simple fucking handshake they will refuse to do a lot more things as well. Somebody who cant even shake your hand wont touch the bacon that will go in your burger or wax your back.

TC and the radical left in general are incredibly hateful towards Christians and give Muslims the benefit of the doubt simply as a matter of principle, regardless of evidence/enlightenments/etc.

To the radical left, a Christian not wanting to let their 5 year old decide their gender is more violent and toxic to society than a Muslim who teaches his daughters to wear the veil

It's the soft bigotry of low expectations. Christians are expected to "know better" but Muslims are just poor brown sand people and we can't expect them to understand our ways.

The child abuse scandal in the Catholic church is despicable, but the key difference is that the religious leadership (the pope in particular) has denounced it, making clear that it does not represent the religion:
https://www.npr.org/2018/08/16/639380193/pope-francis-expresses-shame-and-sorrow-over-latest-abuse-allegations

On the other hand, misogyny and homophobia are not only not denounced by Islamic leadership, they're encouraged and even codified legally in regions where they have a strong enough political presence. For example, after the Pakistani government passed a law to crack down on men beating the shit out of their wives, the Islamic Council handed out pamphlets explaining how men could still "lightly beat them" without technically violating the law:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/05/26/pakistani-husbands-can-lightly-beat-their-wives-islamic-council-says/

The religions are not comparable in any form, and the intellectually honest position is to acknowledge that one is significantly more destructive in the modern day than the other.
