If the woman extends her hand, then the man can shake it, but the man is not supposed to initiate the process. <BR/><BR/>So if the cheerleader initiated the hand shake, then the Muslim man could shake it. But apparently many men (Muslim or otherwise) are unfamiliar with this rule of etiquette. <BR/><BR/>I'm actually glad I know this now. I'll make sure I initiate handshakes with men from now on!<BR/><BR/>And the weird thing is, I'm sure I've shaken hands with my next door neighbor, who is Kurdish, and he initiated the gesture. But I think he has adopted more American ways the longer he has lived here.Maliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08113268891801837789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14025772.post-1158850061151734072006-09-21T09:47:00.000-05:002006-09-21T09:47:00.000-05:00This is from their bios on the Amazing Race/CBS we...This is from their bios on the Amazing Race/CBS website:<BR/><BR/><I><B>Kellie</B>, a senior at USC working to obtain her Bachelor of Arts in <B>Broadcast Journalism</B>, describes herself as being energetic and driven. <B>Jamie</B> was a <B>member of the National Honor Society</B> at USC, where she obtained her bachelor's degree in advertising.
