So would I Patsy. I might be nervous of his intentions.
I'm not in the habit of hugging total strangers in the street.

Re: I'm Muslim ... Hug me ?

Something sad...I don't know if it's my imagination, but went by one of our regular gas stations. Somehow the attendant seemed more...I don't know, like " Please don't be angry with me, I didn't do it". For local men who resemble middle east guys, even if they're from India, if they wear a turban, they must feel a chill from some people. You want to give THEM a hug...

Re: I'm Muslim ... Hug me ?

I am not particularly a hugger but I would just I would have the man who stood asking for a hug who had HIV. What does it cost to hug someone? To do it blindfolded meant he could easily have been attacked, maybe the world needs more hugs, smiles genuine niceness.

Yes to the original post, no to this one.
But I'd say, let me see your lovely face and then I'll hug you for trusting me to see who you really are.

If we don't impinge on each other, we should all get long just fine.

Totally agree with you gal! I was very touched when I watched all those who simply walked over and embraced him, I wish I could have done so several times!

Re: I'm Muslim ... Hug me ?

Well he is quite cute and it was a nice idea
Had he been a beardy old bloke wearing a frock i doubt he would have got so many takers.
but lets have some rationality.
Muslims are not the victims here.
