“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” — Ayatollah Khomeini
“Ustaz vilifies Mother’s Day, says it honours Virgin Mary,” FMT, May 11, 2015:
PETALING JAYA: Now recirculating on social media is a video recorded in 2012 of Terengganu-based Ustaz Azhar Idrus calling on Muslims to disregard Mother’s Day and denouncing it as a Christian festival.
In the 3.47 minute video, Azhar speaks to a crowd, warning them of the celebration’s supposedly Christian roots, saying it was linked to the Mother of the Church, the Virgin Mary.
“The movement began in the early 19th Century, applying to the church and the government to declare this day a public holiday,” says Azhar, who then explains that the movement had asked churches in 1862 to note it in church calendars as a Christian celebration.
Total fantasy — as even this article notes that it originated in the 20th century. This false claim is an example of the ongoing effort by many Muslim spokesmen to portray Christianity as being endlessly altered by Christians, in contrast to Islam’s being unchangeable.
“Mother’s Day has been declared a public holiday in all Christian nations; this is why it is forbidden to celebrate Mother’s Day,” says Azhar.
“On that day, people will give a ‘mother cake’ to their mother, and they do this once a year. But Islam teaches us to be generous with mothers throughout the year.”
He pointed out that the Chinese did not celebrate Deepavali, and the Japanese, Awal Muharram.
“They (the Japanese) will not celebrate Awal Muharram because they know it is a Muslim festival. The Mexicans celebrate Christmas and not Maulidur Rasul,” says Azhar.
“The Canadians do not celebrate Thaipusam,” The Star quoted him as preaching in the video.
Mother’s Day was founded in America in the 20th century by Anna Jarvis, the daughter of Civil War peace activist Ann Jarvis, who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created the Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues.
Following her mother’s death, Anna campaigned to make Mother’s Day an officially recognised holiday in the States. Following her efforts, Mother’s Day was officially recognised as a national holiday in 1914, set on the second Sunday of May.
Rampant commercialisation and marketing soon brought it to the rest of the world.
Tequila not Taqiyya says
Oh but the terrorist connected organization CAIR says that Islam is compatible with the West. What a barbaric belief-system Islam is.
mortimer says
And the ban on Mothers’ Day will be enforced barbarically.
Sam says
Why do Muslim leaders want to ban holidays about the Virgin Mary, if they believe Christ was a prophet and Mary was his virgin mother? I dont quite understand that.
Charles Martel says
In the Muslim narrative, Jesus was never crucified, wasn’t the son of a virgin, and never preached the golden rule or turning the other cheek. He just prophesied the coming of Muhammed. Muhammed imagined that most biblical prophets just prophesied him. What an ego. So there’s no honoring of any Virgin Mary.
If you see someone preaching Islam claim that Islam honors the Christian prophets, point out his deception to save the person from Islam.

A small correction CM: the muslim narrative also portrays Mary as a virgin.

I can guarantee he won’t like Valentines Day either,
Rob Crawford says
Naw. St. Valentines day has a massacre associated with it. Very Islamic.

“This false claim is an example of the ongoing effort by many Muslim spokesmen to portray Christianity as being endlessly altered by Christians, in contrast to Islam’s being unchangeable.”
“Unchangeable” is only good if what doesn’t change is good, like the 1st Amendment. But if what is unchangeable is a piece of putrid sh*t, then “unchangeable” is bad as it is in this case.
William Lucas Harvey Jr. says
“Malaysia: Muslim leader forbids Mother’s Day, says it honors Virgin Mary”.
Actually, Not the Christian “Virgin Mary” at all – the Malaysian Muslim leader is just “pissed” ’cause the “Leader” thinks there may be an “accidental, slip of the tongue” Mention of ‘Yo Muslim Mama’ “, who works in Muhammeds “Heavenly Whorehouse” !
duh_swami says
Does that mean an atheist can’t call his mom or send her some flowers? Or would that be OK with the Imam, since it has nothing to do with religion…
john spielman says
maybe muslims’ sons don’t like their mothers-perhaps because they keep strapping explosive vests on the little boys bodies in the vain hope that they too can enter allah’s whore house in the sky
Bezelel says
I never thought of Mothers Day as honoring the Mother of God. I Like It.
spot on says
From Title:Muslim leader forbids Mother’s Day, says it honors Virgin Mary</em
If the MSM thought that Mother’s Day was to honor the Virgin Mary, they too would be against it.
oldwhiteguy says
so far all anyone has seen from islam is pain and suffering. what pathetic religion.
Matthieu Baudin says
“… the ongoing effort by many Muslim spokesmen to portray Christianity as being endlessly altered by Christians, in contrast to Islam’s being unchangeable…”
Christianity is in fact a faith that continues to evolve and hence it has remained a living faith and a dynamic tradition in stark contrast to Islam which is as stubborn and rigid as a mule. This may help to explain why Christianity, at least within the sanctuary of Europe nurtured and gave life to modern science and the modern world that todays Islam wishes to dismantle and force into the rigid moulds of the past.
Angemon says
This reminds me of a joke. It goes like this: “Moderate Malaysia”.
The quran itself – the alleged “perfect word of god” – lies about Christianity. It comes as no surprise that muslim spokesmen do the same.
And the irony here is that islam is supposed to grant mothers a high status*. What better way to demonstrate it than lying to forbid the celebration of a day dedicated to mothers in general?
*compared to overall women in islam
JamesonRocks says
Hmmm… So, Mother’s Day is not approved of as well as Saint Valentine’s Day and Saint Patrick’s Day. Since the imans are male, I’m thinking that one is probably ok?
We need a special holiday to honor our K-9 companions. Perhaps call it Doggie Day.
Lioness says
By all means, Doggie Day. And how about Piggy Day? That will boil their blood.
Peggy says
How do they feel about fathers’ day?
Bezelel says
They must feel very confused about it. They aren’t known for accountability.
Xero_G says
With up to 4 wives in the family unit, perhaps “Mother’s Day” is just too confusing for the little Jihadi children to know which mother belongs to whom?
Mano says
Hahaha. But Allah knows who is the real father whether one is from neighborhood or from next town.
abad says
What else is new?? Islam has ALWAYS been anti-female.
In other news: water is wet.
Manoth says
The present world is shedding lot of bleed due to this Islam. The world is getting nothing from this religion but terrorism, bombings,fear, loss of peace, love, development, conflicts between countries etc. The people who follow Islam very strictly getting mad and go with killing spree not only with other religion but also with their own other sects. This is not strange because they believe the idiotically what is written in the Islamic books. One example I can quote here. Koran still says( the Bible also believed for many centuries that earth is flat) earth is flat where Hindu Vedas in Sanskrit ( which originated thousands of ago) say Earth is spherical in size and it even it says origin of everything. If such Islamic idiots get the knowledge of Vedas they can easily understand the foolishness which is the theme of Koran and finally discard their idiotness and get real wisdom and knowledge.I wish every reader from this forum go thorough “AGNIVEER” and see the things yourself
AntiJihad says
What the fuck?
Doesn’t your precious Quran speak very positively and fondly of Mary/Miriam? Doesn’t your faith HONOR her as a strong-willed, virtuous woman of God? In fact, a shining example for ALL the Muslim women?
Don’t you believe me? Let’s see what the Quran actually says about her:
“Relate in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East. She placed a screen [to screen herself] from them. Then We sent her out angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects. She said, ‘I seek refuge from you to God Most Gracious! Do not come near me, if you fear God!’ He said, ‘No, I am only a messenger from your Lord [to announce] to you the gift of a holy son.’ She said, ‘How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?’ He said, ‘So [it will be]. Your Lord says, ‘That is easy for Me, and [We wish] to appoint him as a Sign unto men, and a Mercy from Us. It is a matter [so] decreed.”” – Surat Maryam 16-21
“‘Behold!’ The angels said, ‘Oh Mary! God has chosen you and purified you, chosen you above the women of all nations. Oh Mary! Worship your Lord devoutly. Prostrate yourself, and bow down [in prayer] with those who bow down.'” – Surat Al-Imran 42-43
“And [remember] she who guarded her chastity. We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples.” – Surat Al-Anbiya 91
“….And Mary, the daughter of ‘Imran, who guarded her chastity. And We breathed into [her body] of Our spirit. She testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout [servants]” – Surat At-Tahreem 12
“Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their [daily] food. See how God makes His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!” – Surat Al-Ma’ida 75
And yet you call yourself a Muslim? Wow. Just wow. Seriously, it’s right in the Quran!
AND I AM NOT EVEN A FUCKING MUSLIM OR AN APOLOGIST FOR ISLAM!
David Hollaz says
Perhaps this imam needs to read the inscription on the Dome of the Rock, the very earliest portion of the Koran / proto-Islamic theology ever put into writing. Not only did early ‘Moslems’ praise the Virgin Mary and bless her name, they also praised Jesus as the only Messenger of God.
Linda Rivera says
One of the Ten Commandments: HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER.
When our Lovely Savior, Precious Jesus was in great physical agony on the cross, He wanted his mother to be well taken care of.
Bible, John 19:26-27 When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her into his own household.
Champ says
I want to wish all mother’s and grandmother’s a …
✿ “Happy ‘belated’ Mother’s Day!! ✿
And yes, lets remember Jesus’ mother, too, since she gave birth to our precious Savior and LORD! ✞

In the Muslin Calendar every day us beheading day.
Every day is paedophilia day.
Every day is plunder day.
Every day is enslavement day.
Every day is a multiple idol worship day
