Three years ago, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan banned Valentine’s Day for promoting “nudity and indecency.” Robert Spencer quoted the Ayatollah Khamenei to illustrate the Sharia view:
“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
In Pakistan, universities “put out stern warnings to their students against celebrating the day of ‘love’” ahead of Valentine’s Day. This was the notice published by the Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad….
Note how the female coverings align with Quranic text…..
And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed. (Quran 24:31)
If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be assaulted….
O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. (Quran 33:59)
In Pakistan, the day of love, Valentine’s Day was this year renamed “Haya Day,” that is, “Modesty Day.”
“Pakistani universities rename Valentine’s Day as ‘Haya Day’, mandate fine for interaction between male and female students,” Opindia, February 15, 2022:
Ahead of Valentine’s Day, which is observed on February 14, Pakistani universities put out stern warnings to their students against celebrating the day of ‘love.’
The Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad published a notification on Sunday (February 13), directing male students to wear white prayer caps and female students to wear black burqas on the occasion of Valentine’s Day. The varsity renamed the day as ‘Haya Day’ (Modesty Day) and cautioned, “Anyone found in violation of rules shall be fined Rs 3000 by the administration.”
A similar diktat was released by the Peshawar Medical College. The notification dated February 12, read, “Boys and girls must not come near 6 metres of each other. Anyone found in violation of the rules shall be fined Rs 1000 by the administration.”…

NO VALENTINE’S DAY IN ISLAM
No Valentine’s Day in Islam:
It’s decried as a Western invention.
No loving, no kissing, no charm,
No allowance for choice or intention.
A girl is quite owned by her father,
She has to submit to his vision.
It matters not what she would rather,
She’ll be traded or sold: his decision.
Should she object or refuse,
Then violence will greet her defiance.
The mosque will help force him to choose
What method to use for compliance.
mortimer says
Islam doesn’t encourage ‘love’ between Muslims, but something more akin to ‘comradeship’.
Comradeship falls short of real loving friendship. Islam doesn’t even encourage love between husband and wife. It is almost heresy. Since the wife in Islam is a ‘prisoner’ or ‘domestic animal’ of the husband, there may be real affection and support, but real love is not a part of Islam. Islam is based on the model of slavery. A slave has duties and doesn’t have the right to question them.
So much for love in Islam. Compliance and fear are what Allah wants.

Dan says
Muslims probably hate Valentine’s Day because the holiday came about as result of SAINT Valentine, an Italian doctor who later became a Catholic priest.
Before he was killed for refusing to renounce his faith, he sent a loving note to a child he had been helping to teach, the daughter of his jailer, and that note eventually led to the tradition of sending Valentine’s cards.
mortimer says
Reply to Dan: the mullahs denounce Valentine’s Day mainly because it is Christian, but also because it promotes ‘charity’ the Christian virtue which doesn’t exist in Islam. As soon as Muslims understand charity, they realize the moral inferiority of Islam.
gravenimage says
Muslims hate Valentine’s Day because of its Christian roots *and* because it celebrates romantic and other kinds of love–both things Islam hates.

We have the skull of St Valentine ( killed on February 14 269 AD ).
They have made a reconstruction of his face:

Westman says
Legend infers that St. Valentine was executed by Claudius II for performing marriages that gave needed men exemption from conscription into his army.
It’s historically rhyming to note that Muhammad reduced women to chattel and even today’s Pakistan is attempting to turn lack of love for women into a virtue for the same reason – making men expendable capital for war. Much of Mo’s “revelations” had content demanding men have more hate for infidels and readiness for war than love of home and family.
What has Islam made of Pakistan that is praise worthy? (Ben Stein voice) Anybody? Anybody?
born saturday says
it is celebration just like christian celebrations that will be banned soon in most of europe as well as the islamic occupation and imposition of sharia expands to cover almost all of the continent…
europe is under islamic occupation and sharia laws are imposed all over some countries now, either silently or expressively…
the modern traitors who worked for and helped the invasion are still in power and so long as more and more muslim immigrants are going in, the armed occupation of europe is postponed up till the borders close and as many migrants have gone in as possible first…. the muslims that enter, some of which have been trained in criminal and guerilla warfare form invinsible gangs that organise, arm and prepare for the ultimate terrorism genocide of the europeans…..

Obey the 6 meter rule… unless you’re raping an unbeliever.

Keith O says
No love in Islam?
Makes sense, considering that their God, Allah is not a god of love as opposed to your Christian God which is advertised as a loving God.
Islam seems to be the only world religion/ belief system that is devoid of the concept of love in it’s teachings.
Regardless, the ability to feel love and be in love is inherent within humans and this emotion seems to be present in some of the far less devout among them.
SAFI says
This in a country where raping of animals is insanely rampant. https://www.change.org/p/imran-khan-stop-dolphin-rape-in-sindh-pakistan
No romantic love allowed in Islam only sex slaves and child brides as per the beloved “prophet’s” example. Since romantic love with outsiders is highly discouraged Pakistanis have to rely on arranged marriage with first cousins as their primary mode of reproduction. I would even say islamic education is only half responsible for the severe mental deficiencies we observe in the Pakistani population, the other half is in fact due to this rampant islamic inbreeding.
gravenimage says
Yep–that says it all. Pakistan is the world’s center for on-line porn searches–and not “vanilla” stuff, but disturbing things like rape, pedophila, and bestiality–including some truly bizarre things like “dolphin rape”. *Ugh*.
But boys and girls standing within 6 meters (about 20 feet) of each other? Now *that* it Haram…
nicholas tesdorf says
This move will help limit future population growth effectively.
gravenimage says
No it won’t, Nicholas. Muslims are still allowed to marry four women–including underage girls–and rape as many Infidels as they can get their hands on.
All policies like this prevent is love.

Pakistan forbade Valentine’s Day: ‘Boys and girls must not come near 6 metres of each other’
………………
There is no love in Islam.
abu taleb says
‘Boys and girls must not come near 6 metres of each other’
Except if the girls are non muslims, then it is allowed to come closer or even touch and mollest the girls after they are subdued. The girls have already belonged to the muslims who subdue the girls.
Pray Hard says
Keep on sodomizing little boys, moslems, but, you know, not for Valentine’s Day.
OLD GUY says
I guess if the young boys and girls get together there would be less young virgin girls for the dirty old men to rape. Can’t have that can we. What a sick ideology islam is.
