St. Valentine’s Day came from a priest named Valentine who was imprisoned in 270 AD for marrying women with Roman soldiers, thereby supposedly ‘weakening’ them, so the Government was against the soldiers getting married. He fell in love with his jailer’s daughter and signed his last letter to her “From Your Valentine”.

It’s good to see that love and the market are stronger than unreasonableness. Since many Islamic clerics condemn it as a non-Muslim Holiday, and say that Muslims may not celebrate a Christian (or Pagan) holiday; and since their ‘Religious Police’ enforce this, it’s pretty safe to say that Sharia Law is against this. Not all Muslims of course, just the Law governing them in Saudi Arabia and other countries.

India’s radical Hindus are rabidly against V-Day too. There will be squads out looking for cuddly couples, who if caught will be taken to a government office and forcibly married.

How very enlightened and civilized.

here’s an absurd thought -
your Supreme God says
outlaw Valentine’s Day

confiscate ALL red roses
keep men and women apart

.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
Valentine’s Day is evil

it just reminds the people
about Christianity

.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
destroy ALL Valentine’s cards

remove items colored red
from all the store’s shelves

.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe fears
a Christian minority

even though they may not build
or repair their churches

Marking Christian holidays is banned in Saudi Arabia

Then Christians should start celebrating Ramadan and claim it was our idea in the first place.

Ahhh, that’s right – Snodfy is going to donate to Moveon.org in your honor to make himself feel better about it also being Valentine’s Day.
I understand not everyone here may be 100% on board with MoveOn, so sonofdy can donate here, if he feels more comfortable.

I’m guessing you won’t be getting that calendar featuring conservative women modeling fur that our hostess mentioned awhile back.

Well, anywho, enjoy the day.

Happy B-day from me, too, chap.

That would explain a lot!

Kidding!

I'm all about some Islam critiquing. And I'm not here to discredit what has been said on this board. But nobody is as extreme about the illegality of Valentines day more than the Indians and Hindus. Of course, it looks like the tide could be turning there. I really need to get over to India. Their culture is fascinating and it is evolving and strong.

Now for you younger guys: If you wife or girl friend says “Oh don’t get get me anything for Valentines Day” get her something for Valentines Day.

It is a trap set in their genes/jeans-take you choice.
Don’t get them anything and they won’t say anything–for a day or so. Anything.

Then she will.

Get her something for Valentines Day.

Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
And Yep!

Amen to that!
