There Is No Fun In Islam* Alert: "Iran shops banned from selling Valentine gifts," from AFP, January 2:
TEHRAN -- Shops in Iran have been banned from selling Valentine cards and gifts, the ILNA news agency reported on Sunday, as the traditional lovers' day gains increasing popularity in the Islamic republic."In the run-up to Valentine's Day on February 14 the printing works owners' union issued a directive banning the printing and distribution of any goods promoting this day," ILNA news agency reported.
"Printing and producing any goods related to this day including posters, boxes and cards emblazoned with hearts or half-hearts, red roses and any activities promoting this day are banned," the union said in the directive.
"Outlets that violate this will be legally dealt with," it warned....
Every year gift shops in large cities are festooned with Valentine's Day paraphernalia and restaurants in Tehran are packed with young men and women out on a date.
However, the trend has been harshly criticised by conservatives who see no room in Islamic culture for such celebrations....
"Conservatives." Memo to AFP: Conservatives generally do not forcibly suppress Valentine's Day.
* The Ayatollah Khomeini said that.
"There Is No Fun In Islam."
That's their problem. Look at this way: more fun for us.
We'll maybe see everything even remotely Western (except the Bomb-Jet) being aggressively hunted down and the last man to ditch his Calvin Klein is an enemy of God.
It reminds me of one of Stalin's speeches following which there was a standing ovation ...that went on ....and on ...and on ..until at last a brave man with a determined expression ceased and sat down again. The others immediately followed suit.
He was arrested that very night.
THERE'S NO FUN IN ISLAM,I guess there's no LOVE either!(only hatred,lying stealing, incest, pedophilia, and MURDER ALLOWED! )
Gee—Muslims have hardly finished blowing up Christian churches for Christmas and condemning New Year's celebrations before they have to start suppressing expressions of love in time for Valentine's Day.
Shari'ah's job is never done...
After banning day time sex it was only a matter of time that the mullahs would target Valentine's Day.
Islam is powered by sexaul repression: http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/islam-is-powered-by-muslim-sexual.html
Roses are red
Violets are blue

Which one are you?
Isn't it obvious that the banning of Valentine's Day in Iran is a Zionist plot?
I could tell and I'm no Mufti.

As a conservative Roman Catholic, I always refer to Feb 14th as SAINT Valentine's Day because IT IS! The secular Western world has tried to scrub the day free from its liturgical significance as the feast of an early Christian martyr but the Islamists aren't fooled. So why not return to our Christian roots and embrace SAINT Valentine?
Islam is intent on making martyrs out of as many of us as possible, therefore let's invoke an early martyr for our intercessor.
the Ayatollah was wrong--there is fun in islam. they enjoy their chestnuts roasting on an open car fire, jihad swiftly snipping off a nose. . . tiny tots with toy guns all aglow . . .
this is a sick religion perpetrated on gullible desert people and now just fools who think getting eternally laid is more important than the lives of innocents.
or:
you're nearly six,
so I'll marry you too.
Ban Valentine's Day? Where is the love in that!!!
This is just too fun to resist...
Slashes are red,
Bruises are blue
I wouldn't do this
If I didn't love you!
How 'bout those red lace burkas!
