In my country men just kiss each other on the cheek ^^

@tangiergirl

Interesting!

[tangiergirl]

@hheellooo7 I understand it somehow might mean they are gay but in North African countrys such as Morocco it is just a way to show affection and respect towards each other... I dont know how the Omanis came along with the nose kiss style tho.. whats the story behind it?

@tangiergirl

Hi there! Please note that I never said that "it might somehow mean they are gay"!! That might come from some of the other comments you've read. I believe it's just one of many ways they greet, as my title suggests. I don't claim to be an expert on this by any means; I simply thought it was interesting and posted a quick vid. It certainly has generated a lot of discussion! :-)

@EasternMerchant

The word Omani doesn't implicate Middle eastern culture, It describes a person from an Arabic country named Oman. the "i"at the end of the word changes Arabic words to adjectives defining the nationality of the person from that country. It's the equivalent of "an" in English like America is the name of the country, add "an" : American and it becomes the nationality.

MashAllah it's Good that we have the Sunnah : ) LOL i would deffo find that greeting difficult to do, no offence to anyone who does this, but its a bit strange.

@a86wanabe this confusion you make between gay an pedophile is stupid and insulting.

I live in Kuwait, and this way of greeting is very common between men, especially old men. We also kiss each other on the cheeks, it's normal!

[SusaWP]

Haha I find it quite adorable ^^

Is there a special way females greet eachother also?

[ranathebest1]

hahah...how did they come up with this sick tradition, maybe one of the thier rich and gay umara2.
