Shops in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza have been told to dress their window mannequins to ensure lingerie is not on show.
Shops in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza have been told to dress their window mannequins to ensure lingerie is not on show.

In another campaign to enforce Islamic public morality, Hamas police have decreed it is forbidden to display revealing clothes in women's clothing shops.

They have also banned dressing rooms and tinted windows.

Only a short time ago, Hamas rulers in Gaza decreed women should refrain from smoking water pipes in public places.

They also tried, unsuccessfully, to force female lawyers in court and female school students to wear traditional Muslim clothing.

Public backlash later caused the rules to be withdrawn.

Islam is an example of morality?!!?

And the Palestinian who lied that he was a Jew and interested in marriage in order to have sex with the young Jewish woman, would have been hanged or stoned to death if he had done so to a Palestinian woman under Hamas and probably even under Abbas! What backward thinking and behavior!!

This is not what Gazans wanted, they have been hijacked by idiots. I think they really didnt have much choice at the ballots. If something better came along I think they would take it because no one likes to be oppressed like this. I live in a moderate Islamic country and I am muslim, we do not like this actions from Hamas. Everything is radical in that area, Israel, Hamas, all radicals, what do you expect for the people of Palistine? Not to mention Israel wont allow school, hospitals, they just exists. Not educating a population will only breed more stupidity.
