Storm Track Disinformation: Muslim Cleric Nixes Valentine’s Day
Could Islam get any more constipated? Not that fundamental Christians who believe the celebration of Halloween is an act of devil worship are any better. Still it’s entertaining to see such narrow mindedness revealed for what it is.
The current issue of Islam Q & A has issued a 7,535 word treatise on the evils and dangers of St. Valentine’s Day. Hat tip to Sweetness & Light.
Here are some excerpts from the treatise.
Allaah has forbidden imitation of the kuffaar…..Allaah tells us in the Qur’aan that imitating and obeying the kuffaar may constitute riddah (apostasy). Allaah also forbids following them, obeying them, or following their whims and desires and bad characteristics.
The purpose of Valentine’s Day in these times is to spread love between all people, believers and disbelievers alike. Undoubtedly it is haraam to love the kaafirs…It is a mistake to confuse what they call the day with what the real intentions are behind it. The love referred to on this day is romantic love, taking mistresses and lovers, boyfriends and girlfriends. It is known to be a day of promiscuity and sex for them, with no restraints or restrictions…
It takes a twisted mind to see innocence as evil.
They are not talking of pure love between a man and his wife or a woman and her husband, or at least they do not distinguish between the legitimate love in the relationship between husband and wife, and the forbidden love of mistresses and lovers. This festival for them is a means for everyone to express love…Wow!! I didn’t know I was such a pervert sending a Valentine’s card.

Valentine's day story from Italy...
"Love forever: Italy's embracing skeletons to be left in peace Wednesday February 14, 12:29 PM

ROME (AFP) - A pair of 6,000-year-old skeletons found by Italian archaeologists in a dying embrace will not be separated, team leader Elena Menotti has told AFP.
"We will do everything possible to preserve the bodies in the exact position of their grave," she said Wednesday. "There's no question of breaking their embrace."
The skeletons were found last week during digging in an industrial zone near the northern city of Mantua and the find will be displayed at the city's archaeological museum.
While scientists are still puzzling over how the pair died and why they were buried in this way, Menotti said their embrace was "testimony to a great feeling of love that has transcended time.
"For regardless of why they were buried in each other's arms, there had to have been feelings between them."
