https://www.gettyimages.com a Muslim worshiper is performing rak'ah (pl: rak'att) a series of prayer
maneuvers of bowing and prostrating oneself on a prayer mat/rug. The Muslim
prayer custom is to wash (even symbolically) one's hands, face and feet before
praying. The goal is to keep the forehead from touching the floor (or
dirt/filth). As Muslims consider the soles of feet and shoes as being dirty or
filthy, at least this worshiper is to be commended for keeping his shoes off the
national flag of Palestine while his forehead and hands touch the flag.
Apparently, this devout Muslim worshiper believes he is being respectful of the
Palestinian flag as he is demonstrating his thanks to Allah that the
Palestinians have been allowed to freely vote on January 25, 2006, in selecting
which politicians will run their government. As seen in Hawara/Huwara (West
Bank/Palestine) about 30km northeast of Jerusalem.
