A Muslim did not shake hands with women at work because it was not in line with his religious beliefs. As a result, his employment contract at Ekeberg Primary School was not renewed. The former management knows the case and does not accept this type of behavior. The Oslo City Council is speaking in a similar vein.
There is no such behavior in Norway
The dismissed Muslim worked as a substitute at Ekeberg Elementary School in Oslo. However, his contract of employment was not extended, and the reason was unacceptable behavior on his part - he did not want to shake hands with the women at work. According to the former director of the facility - Bente Alfheim - he remembers the case very well. She received complaints from teachers that they felt offended by the behavior of a Muslim. According to Alfheim, the school authorities tried to be understanding, but there was no will to integrate on the other side.

The Chairman of Oslo City Council, Raymund Johansen, has a similar opinion. He, in turn, believes that tolerance and openness are one thing, and another is not respecting Norwegian customs. In his opinion, this type of behavior cannot be accepted in the municipality of Oslo.

This is not the first time this has happened
There are many indications that the refusal to shake hands is not unusual in Muslim culture. In April, the French Court of Appeal closed its proceedings against a Muslim woman who was refused French citizenship. The reason for this decision was to keep her during the citizenship ceremony. At that time, the woman did not shake hands with two famous personalities. According to the Court of Appeal, this is sufficient evidence that she is not sufficiently assimilated and, as a result, cannot be a French citizen.
