30:57Now PlayingA German court recently ruled that a Muslim man who refused to shake a woman's hand should not receive German citizenship. The Lebanese doctor, who came to Germany in 2002, said he refuses to shake women's hands for religious reasons. The Administrative Court of Baden-Württemberg ruled that a person who rejects a handshake due to a "fundamentalist conception of culture and values" due to seeing women as "a danger of sexual temptation" was rejecting "integration into German living conditions." The doctor applied for citizenship through naturalization in 2012 and passed the naturalization test with the best possible score. However, he was not granted citizenship due to his refusal to shake hands with the female official at the naturalization ceremony in 2015. The German court found that anyone who refuses to shake hands on gender-specific grounds is in breach of the equality enshrined in the German constitution.
