Indonessian Minister and first Lady's Handshake Issue

I was not aware that in Muslim belief it is frowned upon to make any kind of physical contact with any woman that is not your wife or family, but it is. So, since a muslim Indonnessian information minister shook the fisrt lady's hand the people were bothered by it and he responded by telling them that it was a foced contact.  http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20101109/pl_yblog_upshot/first-ladys-handshake-with-conservative-indonesian-muslim-raises-eyebrows
