Canada: Muslim Files Complaint After Man Says "Hello" to His Wife....

When the landlady of my Toronto apartment building said an outraged neighbour had filed a complaint about me over an apparently inappropriate hallway interaction with his wife, my mind raced through the countless conversations I’ve had with fellow tenants, none of which seemed a possible source of offence.

It turns out, it wasn’t a salacious transaction that had caused the complaint, but rather a neighbourly and — to me — entirely forgettable greeting, little more than a brief “good morning” as I passed my neighbours on the way to work.

Still, it was enough of an affront for the man — once a doctor somewhere in the Middle East, my landlady clarified — to feel I had broken a cultural taboo. The incident started an awkward feud which has involved warnings not to repeat my indiscretion and one face-to-face shouting match, which included allusions to my impending death.

I expect the battle will wage on, as we appear to be stuck at an impasse.

His Muslim upbringing has ingrained in him a sense of entitlement to demand I not speak directly to his wife; and my prairie upbringing has ingrained in me a duty to strive for polite cohesion with my neighbours.

My landlady, who has handled the complaint with tittering trepidation, hasn’t helped dispel the friction. She has told me to adhere to the demands because the man “could be dangerous,” directing me to literally turn my back to the couple as they pass, never make eye contact and never hold the elevator for them, no matter what.

Is this insane?

Now, now, just settle down mndapa1. Muslims are fun loving, carefree pacifists as per their religion. Let's not be too harsh just yet. Let's wait for a good stoning before we jump to any conclusions.

Hilarious. I will make sure if I run into any Muslim women to just ignore them.

What I think is so strange about Muslims is that they are picky about how their wives are treated and they have a strict (very bad) way of handling women in their own country. Put them in the U.S.A. without their wives AND YOU BETTER WATCH OUT! I used to work for Rockwell Collins in Texas. A bunch of middle east men were brought in for some temporary project. Their desks were just outside the women's restroom. We got insulted, assulted and everything else when we went past them. After work one night, one of them hopped in my car and I about had a fist fight to get him out of it. One followed me home and tried to get in my apt. All of us girls complained and we were told that those men only thought women in the U.S.A. were liberal like how some movies and TV showed them and we shouldn't be affended. Something is really wrong with this picture.

I agree. It is weird that the double standards they use are the ones they also defend against. But in their world, women are considered property or rewards, and not co-equals of value.

So sad, and the liberals defend them.
