HI, it 'snice to hear a good story for once, though in my experience of living here (in egypt) i found that if the muslim men respect you they will only shake your hand. if they dont respect you they will kiss you on both cheeks. it is a sign of respect to your husband or boyfriend if they only shake your hand.

thanks for sharing, not all muslim men are bad, the majority are good, but the men who women on this site are talking about are the minority few who they meet online.
