Fight sharia: Celebrate Valentine’s Day; Update: Burn, baby, burn
Update 11:24am: Fresh photos for the Valentine’s Jihad (via Snapped Shot). Call it heartburn:
***
Remember this photo from two years ago? First, they came for the cartoonists. Next, they came for Valentine’s Day:
Caption – An activist of the radical Kashmiri Islamic group, Dukhtaran-e-Millat, or daughters of the community, burns a Valentine card outside a card store in central Srinagar, India, Friday, Feb. 10, 2006. Nearly two dozen black-veiled Muslim women burned Valentine’s Day cards and posters showing couples together in the main city of India’s Kashmir protesting the day that they say imposes Western values on Muslim youth.

Well, it’s Valentine’s Day once more–and the Religion of Perpetual Outrage is at it again. Around the world, Muslim leaders are working hard to stamp out deadly “Western values” spread by the holiday. Such as men and women hugging each other. This terrorism must be stopped!
In Indonesia:
The Bukittinggi municipal administration has banned residents from celebrating Valentine’s Day, on Thursday, on the grounds the occasion is not in line with Minangkabau traditions or Islam.
“The Valentine’s Day celebration is not our culture as it usually relates closely to immoral acts where, during the celebration, young couples tend to hug and even kiss each other. This is an immoral act, right?” Bukittinggi Deputy Mayor Ismet Amzis told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.
A similar prohibition was implemented by the administration on cafes, restaurants, hotels and other tourist sites planning to hold Valentine’s Day celebrations.
The administration said it would enforce existing regional regulations on “immoral act eradication” and take companies that celebrated the day to court.
A number of permits already issued for Valentine’s Day activities have also been revoked.
Bukittinggi Mayor Djufri told a press conference earlier that his administration would shut down a number of tourist sites known to attract visitor’s on Valentine’s Day, including Jam Gadang, and some cafes.
Djufri urged parents in Bukittinggi not to let their sons and daughters go out Thursday night.
In order to replace Valentine Day’s parties, the Bukittinggi administration urged schools to drive their students to mosques or prayer rooms Thursday night to hear religious sermons “for the sake of improving their morality.”
Saudi Arabia’s religious police have banned red roses ahead of Valentine’s Day, forcing couples in the conservative Muslim nation to think of new ways to show their love.
The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has ordered florists and gift shop owners in the capital Riyadh to remove any items colored scarlet, which is widely seen as symbolizing love, newspapers said.
“They visited us last night,” the Saudi Gazette quoted an unidentified florist as saying.
It is not unusual for the Saudi vice squad to clamp down ahead of Valentine’s Day, which it sees as encouraging relations between men and women outside of wedlock, the newspaper said.
And in Kuwait:
Islamist MPs said yesterday they will study the possibility of amending existing laws in a bid to ban the celebrations of “alien events” like the Valentine’s Day. Head of the Assembly committee monitoring practices alien to Kuwaiti society MP Waleed Al-Tabtabae said after the committee met government authorities that “we informed them we will come up with the necessary amendment”.
The committee met with representatives from the ministries of interior, information and commerce and industry to study measures necessary to prevent Valentine’s Day celebrations that contradict Islamic teachings and values. He said the ministries promised to take all measures necessary to prevent any indecent celebrations and practices and any immoral behaviors that may happen on Valentine’s Day today. The measures will include monitoring hotels, restaurants and shops that sell Valentine’s Day items to make sure there are no violations of the law.
Tabtabae however said that the representatives told MPs that there are some legal loopholes and “we told them we will study proposing amendments” to ban such alien celebrations. Committee rapporteur MP Jamaan Al-Harbash said the proposed amendment will ban all practices that violate Islamic sharia law which includes marking Valentine’s Day.
A number of Islamist MPs meanwhile described Valentine’s Day as a Western tradition that is not compatible with Kuwaiti values and contradicts sharia. Some of them however said they were particular about the immoral practices and the concept of the celebrations which encourages out-of-wedlock relationships. The head of the Islamic Sharia College at Kuwait University, Mohammad Al-Tabtabae, issued a fatwa stipulating that the feast is banned under Islam.
If you are one of those people who always passed on Valentine’s Day because it was too tacky or over-commercialized, you now have good reason to celebrate.
Buy some red roses, candy, and a cheesy greeting card: Strike a blow against sharia.
Freedom is sweet. Savor it.
Love,
Michelle

I keep picturing Jeff Dunham’s “Achmed the Dead Terrorist” puppet.
-
Mrs. the Dead Terrorist: “Happy Valentine’s Day Achmed, I love you.”
Achmed: “SILENCE! I kill you!”
LOL!! I just saw this last night!
My hubby bought me a full sized framed poster of “300″ King Leonides in all his bare ab’d glory for Valentines Day.
Sometimes I have to do a double-take with stories like this – it’s like they are straight out of “The Onion.” It’s almost too ridiculous to be believeable. I laugh, then I cry…
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Hubby bought me “The Dangerous Book for Dogs.” I’ve been laughing all morning. He really knows what I like
Oh, yeah, that one too. There’s just so many potential violations of shari’a law that it’s hard for a kafir like myself to keep track of it all.
Perhaps Islam’s major abjectiom here is the symbolism. Paper hearts just don’t cut it when you are used to a steady stream of real hearts freshly cut out of an infidel’s chest. Ah yes, will you be my Allah-tine?
Happy “Force men to spend money so your gender will leave us alone” Day!
Although now I may have to rethink that stance. After all, if spreading love helps win the War on Terror, I say bring on the mass consumerism and cheap commercialization!
Off to buy myself a WESTERN style hamburger…because I can.

Jim,
Allah-tine?
Now that was hilarious.
My compliments.

Jealous!
Let us not forget those from our own flock who rally each year against Halloween because it allegedly promotes witchcraft, sorcery and satanism.
Islam isn’t the only religion with a deranged lunatic faction.
I must have missed the part where they threatened to behead and or kill people during their protests.
Quite striking how the islamofascists rail against Valentines Day (among many other things) saying how it is alien to sharia and islam and is a corruptive Western influence. On the other hand here in the West the majority of our media, the Dhimmicrat party and most of academia wants us to conform to and accept sharia/islam as if it is native to our culture. Should we not consider sharia law/islam to be corruptive to our culture? I was not aware of nor informed of that beheadings, honor killings and just plain mayhem over the slightest perceived insult are endemic to my homeland. Just when did it?
Feast?
What feast?
Nobody told me nothing about no Valentine’s feast!
Woman, here’s your box of chocolates, now where’s my feast?
Yeah, the kids hormones will be settled down by the time Friday night rolls around. Good plan.
Yup, NW, but some people are desperate to grasp out in bizarre, mindless relativism.
I’ve been finding that a lot lately on these threads, purplepeep. It would be nice if some of our resident libs would just say “this is wrong”. Granite is right though. I don’t think they’ll ever get it.
Holy cow! Don’t know how I missed it, but isn’t that Dr. Zaius in the center of the top picture?
are you a comedian, texastiger?
Alien? How would they feel if we banned the alien concept of Ramadan?
I see Islamic rage boy and he doesn’t look happy.
Just wish the hypocritical “Men” of Islam happy VD.
I think I get it, bear?
If they don’t like Western values, Ted Kennedy and his bunch should stop bringing them over here through chamberpot immigration policies.
Am I a comedian?
I must be. All my grade school teachers used to ask me what kind of a comedian I thought I was.
Oooh…to be extra naughty I think I’ll celebrate Valentine’s Day by going to Starbucks in the presence of a man…
What! No sex, drugs, or rock-an-roll, no wonder they all want to kill themselves. Good!
Speaking of “terrorism” and not to change the subject, but I just heard of some students getting shot at Illinois University. In between the sex shows and shootings at colleges, I wonder who the real “terrorists” are. Homeland Security for colleges?
I went into Berkeley High School yesterday and on my way past the Principal’s office i stopped dead in my tracks.
On the walls as you enter were 5 DOMINATINGLY HUGE lithographs of so-called Palestinian faces(Hashemites, Mallacites, Phillistines??).
One of them was of a woman with her head cloaked in black with just the eyes and eyebrows showing. It looked like a terrorist training jpeg.
The other four were similar. But this one was positioned so it is filling the frame of the window in the door. So it is all u see when u enter.
I am writing to the schoolboard to have these relocated to somewhere less prominent and intentionally dominant.
As many kids walk thru that hall it presents Islamic jihad figures as though they are normal fixtures of life here…which they are not.
Sharia— creeping in one glance at a time through the eyes of our youth.
Oh but BY GOD! We can’t have a Marine recruiting office downtown. That is just too in your face.
Puke.

Now I’m not one to go castin’ aspersions and gossipin’, but the dairy cows in Wisconsin are backin’ away from the Michigan border very carefully.
Ooo, I’m naughty.
Ya know, that’s why I love Japan. Even though they are a Shinto-Buddhist country, they got no problem with St. Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Christmas, and any other excuse for parties, booze, chocolates, and gifts.
Well, NavyW, the closest you’ll usually hear to “wrong” these days is the more politically correct term “inappropiate”. It’s use is pervasive.
I think using “inappropiate” when “wrong” should be used instead is wrong.
Funny you mention that, I have seen military security footage of a local in Afghanistan getting intimate with a bovine partner. Seriously.
I guess that type of Valentine’s ‘love’ is cool with RoPO, not the kooky western version involving humans.
wonder if they know it’s SAINT Valentine’s day? Hmmmmm.
The guy who runs Cowardly political musings “mycowardice” is a full-on moonbat (parrots whatever the latest progressive/liberal/moonbat talking points are) and is reality challenged. He linked to this article (he gets some points for that)but studiously ignores anything that won’t conform to what he wants to see (loses lots of points for that).
Thank You A.J, cpodug,
I hope, I don’t have to do a Salman Rushdie
A thousand pardons for being born a woman, oh men of the tent in the desert. Flat Fatima’s Valentine’s Day not so good, her husband got her fitted for a sucide belt…not quite what she had in mind, when she told him she would love him forever…he figured out how to make her prove “forever” those people, everything is so literal with them 
These are scary places, they’re nuts. These Saudi Rulers and Islamic ‘Leaders’ are actually very insecure about the attractiveness of their ‘religion’.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
outlaw Valentine’s Day
confiscate ALL red roses
keep men and women apart
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
arrest men and women
if they are holding hands
or having coffee together
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
Valentine’s Day is evil
it just reminds the people
about Christianity
