Palestine Today, the Islamic Jihad mouthpiece, points out that Gazans generally do not celebrate Valentine’s Day because many religious authorities forbid it. They even have an interview with a sheikh bitterly complaining about how damaging the holiday is to Islamic morals and how celebrating it violates a hadith not to imitate the customs of Jews and Christians.
But some Gazans managed to celebrate in their own way without violating any community standards – with humor.
Presenting the Love Donkeys:
Instead of a bouquet of flowers, how about a bouquet of meat for the holiday?
And Gaza women have to put on their sexiest burqas for the holiday:
Yowza.
(h/t Ibn Boutros)
