Muslim Shouldn't Celebrate Valentine - Cleric by hannysur8(m): 7:15pm On Feb 13, 2015
An Indonesian cleric on Friday said Muslims
should not celebrate Valentine’s Day because it
glorifies promiscuity.
Anwar Abbas, Head of Education at the semi-
official Indonesian Council of Muslim Scholars,
said the sale of condoms in bags of chocolates
gift raised concerns.
“Valentine’s Day is not compatible with our
nation’s culture and religious tenets.
“This culture will destroy the morality of the
young generation,’’ Abbas warned.
He said that the council was concerned about
reports that some shops had been selling
chocolate packaged together with condoms ahead
of Valentine’s Day.
The media reports said that the reports sparked
outrage among conservative Muslims and
prompted local authorities in Central Java to raid
stores and confiscate the items.
Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim
nation, but Islamic observance is relatively
moderate.
Saint Valentine’s Day, also known as Valentine’s
Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is a holiday
observed on February 14 each year.
