Contaminating Infidel Influences Alert from AKI, with thanks to Twostellas and Suzy:
Cairo, 14 Feb. (AKI) - A group of Muslim students and activists has suggested that Saint Valentine's Day - the traditional celebration of love in Western countries - should be renamed "The Prophet Mohammed's Day," daily al-Watan reports. In recent years Valentine's Day has gained growing popularity among the middle and upper classes in Egypt, but the Muslim students say they want to divest Valentines Day of its consumerist ethos and turn it into a "broader" vision of love for humankind."My girlfriends spend a fortune on heaps of useless things on Valentine's Day, like soft toys, and don't realise this is not what love is about," said university student Nurhan.
"I like the idea of making 14 February The Prophet Mohammed's Day very much," said 18-year-old Wassem. Together with friends, she is organising a collection of toys to give to orphans.
Independent daily al-Masri al-Yom on Wednesday published a special issue of the paper called "Beautiful Egypt" describing episodes of altruism and kindheartedness by ordinary Egyptian citizens.
"We have published this issue for ordinary people - not their government. We wanted for once to open people's eyes to the beautiful things in this country, because in these times we need to give people hope for the future."
There was no shortage of red Valentines Day roses however, as well as "I love You" puppets and teddy-bears of varying size and price on sale in Egyptian shops on Wednesday.
It gives a choice to those who see Valentine's day as old fogey. Now Muslim men can celebrate Prophet Mohammed's Day and give love notes to little girls.
How do I love thee
let me count the ways
I loved you when you were six
but I'll wait till you are nine
then I can make you suffer
all the time
So Roses are red
and violets are blue
You can be my little Muslima
and I'll be molesting you
Cultural cannibalism in action.
This is not a native expression of anything. It is a way of obliterating the other -- "You call it Valentines day, but it's really mohammeds day".
This is precisely what happened to the Temple Mount in Israel.
This is the principle behind the Taliban bombing of the Afghani Buddahs.
And these people are not red-eyed, gun-toting, fire-breathing jihaddis either. These are the ones being presented as normal ordinary "moderate" mohammedans.
Isn't nearly every day Muhammad's day in the eyes of the Islamist?
I must say, the choice to replace St. Valentine with Muhammad is quite amusing, given the diametrical differences that they represent.
Call your holidays whatever you want.
Leave Saint Valentine's day alone. Saint Valentine's day is about love and that is outside of Islam. Valentine's Day hearts are outside of Islam, since that belief system is an abcess on the hearts of the people.
Funny thing is Islam has to steal everything from other systems. It's far from complete or perfect. Get your own fucking celebration days!
I'd rather be a kaffir pervert than a Muslim revert.
I like the idea of a Prophet Mohammed's day. I suggest getting Muslims stoned - first by taking hallucinogens, and then the actual rocks.
Ok, who's got the best joke here!
I guess the "poor orphans" won't be getting any plushies that resemble pigs then ...
"Happy Prophet Muhammad's Day, Darling, you can take off your veil, now that you're home. I cooked a romantic halal dinner for the two of us, and I hope you don't mind if we skip the wine."
[/sarcasm]
A telling article, and of course none of us our surprised. How can a holiday such as this can exist in Muslim culture?
Love and Islam are like oil and water.
Apparently, the Bosnians in Utah are already celebrating this new Islamic holiday. I suspect if Mohammed were alive today, he too would gladly celebrate his own prophethood by gunning down unarmed infidels in a greeting card store at the local shopping mall.
My guy would just love a box of fresh manure and a bouquet of swords on this so called "prophet mohammeds day." I'll remember that for 2008.
Instead of flowers and chocolates, on Mohammed's Day the amorous suitor is allowed to kidnap and rape his inamorata. Killing her male relatives and friends beforehand, however, is discouraged (unless they are non-Muslim, of course), as that will prevent other men from enjoying the fruits of following Mohammed's example.
I was hungry but now I lost my appetite. And I will probably need a cold shower now. Aaaaahhhhhhhh.
"... and turn it into a "broader" vision of love for humankind."
What the f*$^! has Mohammed got to do with love?
I'd suggest to have a mohammed for the pedophilia day.
Other that that, why do we care about what happens in cesspool muslim countries?
Creating a "Mohammed Day" would be innovation and is forbidden in Islam. On the other hand it is an idea that would irritate infidels, so it is not forbidden.
The prophet mohammed day??? It would be a wonderful day... afterall, didn't the prophet have 22 wives over his lifespan
Oh yes the mohammed day, what can a love sick 40 year old muslim do? well muhammed gave plenty of example that he can follow.
- propose to that cute 9 year old girl. her parants won't object and be willing to follow what muhammed did.
- kidnap, convert to islam, and marry that beautiful nonmuslim teen. now with the niqab thrown over her and the marriage registered, there is nothing that the police or her parants can do. if they do something you have the sharia and all mullahs and their supporters to back you up.
- your wife is looking old and tired ,time to get that 2nd , 3rd or 4th wife. or divorce your 1st wife and get another , islam makes it easy.
- you are really desperate for female but don't want to marry on? rape the one you like as long as no more than 3 men are watching. she won't be able to prove the rape, without 4 pious witnesses.
It sounds like intolerance once more and this is the sound that the Koran gives with, too much 'unbelievers' 'infedel' 'take not's' 'kill them's' 'oh Allah's'(guilt trips)in the verses that stay in one's head. So that is translated back to society no wonder really.
DESIDUDE I laughed so hard when I read your post.
Yes Muhounds day all the pedophiles can marry and 'get it on' with little 9 year old girls. And can do all the other 'muslim' hadith and qur'an recommended things you mentioned.
What a disgusting and filthy 'prophet' these MOhounds have. oy vey.
A wonderful idea: Prophet Mohammed's Day! Long overdue, I must say. And the theme song for this holiday? How about "What's love got to do with it?"
Of course: The opposite of LOVE is HATE and Mohammedians are the best at creating the latter.
I already celebrate Mohammed on every October 31st?
the Muslim students say they want to divest Valentines Day of its consumerist ethos and turn it into a "broader" vision of love for humankind.

Ah, that's it--all the screaming hordes in Saudi Arabia and Kashmir burning flowers and paper hearts are just protesting *consumerism*.
"The Prophet Mohammed's Day" has a nice ring--but it might be a bit difficult to fit "Slay the Unbelievers wherever You find Them" on one of those little candy hearts.
--Gravenimage, who spent the day happily canoodling with her hunky Kaffir husband.
Muslims are incapable of love, unless their slavish devotion to their depraved prophet could be called love. Muslim men are not supposed to love their wives. Women are filthy but a necessary evil and only allah and his alter ego, muhammad, are worthy of a man's affection.
Why don't muslims just ignore St. Valentine's day since it is, after all, a Western observance. They are certainly desperate to add holidays to their calendar, or at least a few that allow a bit of pleasure instead of depriving themselves of food, inflicting pain and bloodshed, and brutally slaughtering animals. All of their existing holidays are macabre celebrations of suffering and death.
Muslims are so pathetically hamstrung that they are now expropriating our holidays, distorting them into morbid supplications to a dead but eternally evil monster. They will never replace Valentine's day with an extraneous islamic holiday; if it's not in the qur'an, it's forbidden. The ulema will go ballistic.
weizman, there is nothing indin history and culture that is anti valentines day. as opposed to islam. these hindu radicals are confusing the old time dhimmitude attiudes of the indians as their culture. all hindus should support valentines day. love, affection, romance are hindu traditions.
Heres a thought - why dont we help those poor oppressed students out? You dont want to be offended by our western consumerist culture?
Fine, we don't want to offend anyone, so, as of March 1st, we will be unplugging all of the Muslim countries from the Internet backbone, jamming all telcom satellite traffic in your general direction. You won't be wanting any of those immodesty-inducing cellphones either, so we are going to stop selling you those also. Now, go light a candle, sit on the floor and vibrate along to your kran, you mindless cretin...
Wow, just think of all the touching sayings you could put on your 'Mo's Day' card (but no pictures please)
How about, I love you so much, I'd kill the evil infidel for you?
or
Love is a warm homicide bomber?
how about-
True love mutilates genitals?
any others?
