Answer 3

No,Prophet Mohammed(peace be upon him)did not it,Koran did not teach it follower to do it,it,s just a social habit as Moslims have more emotions than others as I think.

Answer 4

I'm not sure, but once my next door neighbour kissed me on both cheeks, this was rather embarassing as I was tying my shoelaces at the time !

This is a tradition. Yaser Arafat loved to do it with Israelis.
