No Smooching in Zanzibar

Though tourism may be Zanzibar's second biggest foreign money maker, some Islamist Zanzibargroups can't say they're too impressed with the giddy Western honeymooners strolling along the beach.  Concerns are also growing about the spread of bars.  They want tourists to feel welcome, but would like some more respect to be given to the society and conservative Muslim culture in which they are visiting, CNN reports.  All they ask of you is to refrain from kissing and any open sex acts.  Sounds easy to me. And let's face it lip-locking and the occasional sudden pelvic thrust at your loved one on the corner of a busy Manhattan intersection, is actually pretty annoying to most folks.  Get a room!
