Kissing mostly on the cheek is a custom way of greeting in Egypt, however, a new organization with the motto of ‘No more kisses after today’ have started and are attempting to ban kissing all together. The founder of this organization Doctor Adel Ashour assures those who have looked at this new idea with mockery of it seriousness especially after Bird Flu victims were discovered in Egypt and this disease can be passed by kissing apparently.
No More Kisses in Egypt After Today!
The only exception to this ‘No kissing’ policy are husband and wives but Dr Ashour has stressed that they should not exchange kisses if one of them is sick. Dr Ashour also clarified he believes politician will be affected the most by this campaign due to the increase in the number of ‘Political kisses’ we now see in the news but ensures them that this policy will not affect their political agenda. If you ask me I think this is absurd, who you kiss and when is a matter of free choice, it’s nice that Dr Ashour cares about our health but I think the Egyptian people can take care of themselves!

Are you sure this is accurate? We have never heard about any of this in Egypt. Weird.
i dont think this guy will be that successful in his little campaign, how do u ban kissing ?!?!? its like sth u c n do on a daily basis: a form of greeting..they havent even banned that here in USA where theres more advanced centers 4 research....its nice they're worried about this but they should also be worrying about other diseases rising in much larger #s...
yeah!!well IT IS IMPOSSIBLE..i mean c'mon we just kiss 2 times in egypt other countries 3 and 4 times!!
it is hard to change a tradition
What a load of absolute fart. It's sunnah 2 kiss on the cheeks in Islam, no one can stop that.
Sheesh I mean pick on the poor guy why don't they! Have they seeeeeeen all the tourists gyrating & molesting each other along the Red Sea!!!
This kissing thing will b like Aids all over again. Let's run 4 cover. Everyone kiss the chickens. Let's manufacture lipstick 4 chicken beaks. Okkk so he has dealt with kissing, now how do we prevent coughing & sneezing? This guy is on a role seriously. Let's just kill everyone who lets out oxygen. Let's make 'Do not breathe on me' T-shirts.
I'm discriminating against chickens. Ducks r just as capable of contracting the disease. And pigeons...And others...
Sam trying to be genious and all that, to me he just mr. Smarty pant. He think of himself as an idiotic teacher. what a loaded crap he is. i think he need someone to punch him on his face, so he can stop criticize pple's comment and telling them just die.
i know who you are! gotcha.
you need to be afraid of me cause am going to throw you in the dumpster... very soon.
lol Sam you have been warned!!! The gender confusion sets in yet again.
Don't you think Sam they should enforce a "No Kissing" role against certain relatives that seem to enjoy it a bit too much? I knew this guy related to us someway who used to lean in for the kill even if you had met him already in the course of the day, and it is never the fake air-kissing, had to plant them on your cheeks. I haven't seen him in years though, ehhh memories.
Needless to say I agree that the campaign is a complete farce, and is idiotic.

A) I didn't criticise anyones comment
B) I didn't tell anyone 2 die
C) I'm not 'mr.Smarty pant' but I am MISS Smarty pants thank you. So much 4 knowing who I am...Rabinah yehdeek.
I think men shouldn't lean in 4 kisses coz most women won't find it very natural. They'll usually only do it 2 females they favour, I doubt they would lean in 2 kiss someone they wouldn't find slightly attractive or cute. Men should ALWAYS wait 4 the females 2 act first (even if many women r a bit hysterical & can go over the top with greeting- I've had lipstick wiped on my cheeks a few times). I guess u can always eat tonnes of garlic if that relative ever pops back in2 your life. I'm sleepy...
wow thats kind of weird who the hell bans kissin, n by the way i like ur comment ahmed
