Indonesian Muslim Minister claims he shook Michelle Obama's hand by accident


With all the problems in the world facing Muslims and in particular Indonesian Muslims how reassuring to see good old fashioned Muslim Ministerial hypocrisy is still alive and kicking.

For those readers unaware of their Indonesian politics permit to introduce Tifatul Sembiring the Muslim Indonesian Information Minister who regularly made a great play of his refusal to shake any woman's hand not related to him.

In the best traditions of Conservative Muslim piety guess what he did when Michelle Obama turned up in town, yep you've guessed it he shook her hands, however according to the Minister by accident of course, although is that a smile I detect on his face when shaking the First Lady's hand?
