Islamic reminder on Valentine's Day

ralphtango1 · 02-14-2008, 08:39 AM

Whether it is giving a Valentine's Day card or flowers or text messaging to a loved one, Valentine's Day is against Islamic teachings, according to an official from the Islamic Dakwah Centre.

This is because the act of celebrating another religion's practice such as Valentine's Day is considered against the teachings of Islam.

However, saying "I love you" to a loved one is not wrong, as long as it is not in conjunction with Valentine's Day, said Awang Haji Mail bin Besar, head of lecture and media electronic section at the Islamic Dakwah Centre.

Despite regular sermons reminding Muslims that it is against the Islamic teachings to celebrate Valentine's Day, many still mark the occasion, especially the young, he said.

The youngsters are easily influenced by practices of other religions. However, Muslims need to understand their own religion and practices, and appreciate the Islamic teachings.

One of the problems that could arise from the celebration of Valentine's Day is deviancy that might lead to promiscuity, especially when unmarried couples exchange gifts and expect more than just affection in return.

However, any promiscuous acts could affect their future if the unmarried couple do not end up marrying each other.

Anyone know how Orthodox Jews feel about Valentine's day? You know, the same Orthodox Jews who need to put a bed sheet between them and their wives through which a hole is cut for the man to put his penis. We all know it ain't right to actually touch your wife when you pro-create!

Ralph, all fundamentalists are freaking weird! For God's sake, your weird!
