I most certainly would not, he could have been a pickpocket or carrying a knife.....In the 21st century I find it hard to trust anyone.

I'd think twice - they're not allowed to hug are they ?

It has nothing to do with fear or trust and one gesture cannot possibly build these.

I personally do not do knee jerk gestures and I find it a bit cringy to be honest and as I said slightly sad

I think they are not allowed to have any physical contact with men, no hand shake or anything, but not sure about other women. I remember a student at uni receiving an award and apologising to the presenter because she could not shake his hand.

No , not because I wouldn't trust him but I don't enjoy hugging anyone I don't know .

I would have hugged him as a human to another human being in distress. Just a shame he has to try and justify himself in such a manner.

One gesture maybe - worldwide attention - probably

Yes, I would definitely hug him as I would any other person in that situation.

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

Of course I'd embrace him, providing the wife didn't see me, she's an awful woman for getting the wrong idea.
