Mixed sex handshakes banned

Things have got so bad with political correctness that I immediately jumped to the conclusion that a link on the BBC's website was directed at some metropolitan council somewhere in Britain. I just don't like thinking like this. Should I be relieved it's not in Britain but in Somalia? I don't think so. Because people in any part of the world should not have their personal liberties proscribed by a bunch of closeted hypocrites. The group proposing this nonsense is called al-Shabab.
