In Our Opinion: Valentine's Day - A Coincidence

|

I had a marathon meeting in our Maadi, Cairo office that forced me to stay a night at my favorite hotel JW Marriot, Mirage City, Cairo. Nana, Muhammad Aiman and Afiqah joined me later. We were upgraded to Junior Suites in conjunction with the Valentine's Day. A Valentine's Day - a coincidence! I was confused and wondered, in the country where 96% of its population is Muslim and based on the recent poll that I read in the Egyptian Gazette, Egyptian is the most religious country in the world, Valentine Day is celebrated on a grand-scale after Eid Fitr and Eid-Adha?In our opinion, we should not blindly usher and celebrate things without understanding its fundamentals. This might dilute our faith and weakening our principles.
