Another Obligatory "Islam Cracks Down on Valentine's Day" Post

From  the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) director-general Datuk Wan Mohamad Sheikh Abdul Aziz:
"He said Islam was not opposing the celebration of love, but vice activities that usually took place during the celebration.

"That is why a fatwa (edict) was issued to prevent and advise Muslims not to celebrate Valentine's Day because in reality, as well as historically, the celebration of Valentine's Day is synonymous with vice activities," he said.

The fatwa, issued by the National Fatwa Council during its 71st conference almost six years ago, stated: "The spirit of Valentine's Day celebrations is associated with elements of Christianity and vice activities that are prohibited in Islam."
 Probably got that notion from looking at some antique Victorian pr0n.


TY S for the graphic.

Update: The Anchoress brings us all back to sanity with a very complete Valentine’s Day Linkfest of Love!
