"The prophet preferred an iron nail/needle to be driven across a man's head than him touching a woman who is not a Mehrum" Really?

I normally do not comment on what a Muslim can  and cannot do. Religion is a personal issue and your beliefs and your interpretation of what you believe in is up to you...but the comment below was posted on my FB and I want to have my say on this matter of a Muslim not being able to shake the hands of a women who is not a Muslim...because if he does "The prophet preferred an iron nail/needle to be driven across a man's head than him touching a woman who is not a Mehrum" 

Really?

What sort of a Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) will say those kind of things. I do not need to do any research on any hadeeth on whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did or did not say that.....I just use my common sense...and my common sense tells me if that is the instructions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), then how many million Muslims have sinned? 

How many million Muslims have gone against the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)?

How many million muslims must now have an iron driven into their head for touching a women who is not a Muslim?

Enough said

Disturbing how yet again the issue is surrounding a woman - Melania a non Muslim for not wearing headscarf and yet zero to none comments or conversation about the King of Saudi Salma A MUSLIM KING shaking hands with a namehrum.
The prophet preferred an iron nail/needle to be driven across a man's head than him touching a woman who is not a Mehrum.
It was narrated that Ma’qil ibn Yassaar said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than that he should touch a woman who is not permissible for him.”
[Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer, 486. Shaykh al-Albaani said in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 5045, that this hadeeth is saheeh]
