The abnormal fact? What's wrong with rubbing the feet of young women, when this is a ritual with a symbolic meaning? I have a daughter and I don't see a problem. Most men are not perverts. Most men don't see women as sex objects. They see them as human beings. Is there any evidence that the new Pope has a history of inappropriate behavior towards girls and women? Is he a sex offender? Has he abused girls and women? Not to my knowledge, but maybe there's something I don't know. If so, washing female feet would indeed a problem. Daughters are not the property of their fathers. They are independent human beings. Before they are mature women, they should be protected, but only against real threats. Assuming that all men are horny beings who can't control their impulses is an insult to all decent men. A few Muslim men become terrorists. Does this mean all Muslims are terrorists? A few men become rapists. Does this mean all men are rapists? A few men become aroused when they shake hands with a woman (also a ritual like washing feet). Does this mean all men become aroused? We should see the good in people and not just focus on a tiny minority capable of harming other people. This young Muslim woman was capable of making her own decision. She chose to get her feet washed. It's her decision, not ours. We should respect her decision. Edited by Matt Browne - 28 April 2013 at 2:02am |

It appears that you are a fool afterall with your pitiful questions. No I did not say she was guilty of zina. And Islam would never put a person to death for something as minor as this. Edited by Rational - 28 April 2013 at 5:40am |

Hi Matt, Always the voice of reason. I like this last of yours. Yes, she certainly was old enough to make her own decision. You make some other good points as well. Hope you are doing well, CH |

It's not a fetish, it's a Christian tradition. John 13:1�17 mentions Jesus performing this act.
