In a recent interview with American journalist Barbara Walters, Saudi King Abdullaah was asked:

BARBARA WALTERS:
quote:
I understand that now that you are king, you prohibited your subjects from kissing your hand. Were you embarrassed to have your hand kissed?


KING ABDULLAH:
quote:
I have tremendous distaste for such matters because I believe that one only bows before God, not before another human being.
