Well, in case you hadn't noticed, Yvonne's a flake who wanders from one thing to the next, depending on her humour.
Can't wait till she publically proclaims her apostasy.
That'll probably be the next thing.

In the particular case of not shaking Turki's hand, it shows just how hypocritical the Najdi dogs who occupy the Haramayn are. I wonder what their lackeys in Brooklyn, Brixton and Birmingham say about the regime they so love!
I sort of agree that Ridley is a bit of a loose cannon, but she is right about not shaking hands with men and I fail to see why those who are supposed to uphold the deen show such disrespect to a woman who tries to do the same.

My objections to Yvonne on the Islam Channel pertain largely to her rusty gate delivery: more erms than a teenager in a Head's Office. She's not the only IC presenter who induces coma, either. The channel desperately needs fresh blood, rather than presenters that sould like they just lost most of theirs! Would Yvonne have ever made it in the mainstream TV media? Mind you, I miss them hijabs!

"show such disrespect to a woman who tries to do the same"
It's called double-standards.
