In the Arab culture men kiss men for greetings, but something doesn't seem right about that. For one, it maybe increasing gay culture. Read this:
Quote:
"I heard that after 11 September, a Saudi student who was going to be deported on a visa technicality applied for political asylum because he was gay," he added, provoking laughter from the others. "What was he thinking of? We have more freedom here than straight couples. After all, they can't kiss in public like we can, or stroll down the street holding one another's hand."

Discussion came on Dubai's new public behavior rules which includes banning male/female holding hands and kissing in public places. Somebody commented, Dubai should ban male/male holding hands and kissing publicly. Then one person started defending that this male/male behavior is allowed in Islam.
But to me something doesn't feel right about this, so somebody can give proper Islamic answer? Should be banned or not?
Thanks.
