I think this misunderstanding is because we are not used to the idea of showing deference and respect to a book. I think Jews would understand it because they have the same sort of attitude towards the scrolls read in a synagogue. They have special pointer things to touch them with so they don't use their fingers.

The customer herself actually says that she heard the girls say the word unclean but at first didn't know what she meant and then saw her headdress and the Bible and drew a conclusion.
