I'm not a Muslim, but I do know they have some very strong convictions! Like not touching pork or alcohol, and not being allowed to own dogs (exceptions for working dogs only).
There was a Muslim store clerk who made a big deal of people not coming through their checkout line if they were buying pork or alcohol because even touching the packages would taint them. That was a bit extreme, from what I understand many find it OK to use gloves in that situation since it's in a package as well.
They considered strapping packages of pig lard inside some public places and buses to stop suicide bombers, because if the pork touched them, their mission would be futile...you know, the point of a suicide mission is to become a martyr so that wouldn't happen if the pork got on them. I don't know if they ever did that, I remember it was several years ago that I heard about that.
The hand shaking thing has roots in sexual temptation, it goes right along with women being covered up with clothing.
I do admire their devotion, honestly. They don't half-ass it.
Is it normal it upset me that a Muslim wouldn't shake my hand?

that would not work in most cases as the attacks are politically fueled. The footmen might agree with that but the terror heads would not.
and touching something impure would not taint their assumed to exist "glory" of "martyrdom"
