Clerics condemn Valentine’s Day

As the world celebrated Valentine’s Day on Thursday, not everybody was impressed with the celebratory event with some Muslim clerics in the self-declared republic of Somaliland condemning the event, according to a report yesterday.

The clerics urged their followers not to celebrate the day as it was contrary to Islam, the BBC reported.

The clerics made similar appeals in previous years, but have been vocal in their opposition this year.
