Default Re: Bush ducks fast from shoes!!!

I certainly didn't mean to be rude, however, I've watched - and lived in an Ashram in India - and the understanding of the significance of shoes (and feet - don't ever touch anyone with your feet) - is pretty consistent with the understanding of the person who wrote the blog. And there are lots of muslims in India, so the mindset in this issue would be the same, Sol.

Our western mindset does not have the same understanding of what feet and shoes are/mean.

India, well, they have also a different mind set to Arabs and Afghani peoples.
