Srinagar - An Islamic separatist women's group, known for its fierce opposition to Western-style romance, has vowed to prevent couples celebrating Valentine's Day in the Indian state of Kashmir.
Aasiya Andrabi, leader of the separatist Dukhtaran-e-Millat, or Daughters of Faith, said on Saturday: "We will not allow anyone to observe Valentine's Day as it does nothing but spread immorality among youth.
"Valentine's Day is against our culture and Islamic teachings."
The group supports a 16-year-old separatist insurgency against New Delhi's rule in Indian Kashmir, and is also engaged in "stamping out immorality" in the Muslim-majority region.
The group kicked off its campaign against "Lover's Day" in Srinagar on Friday. Supporters raided half a dozen shops, confiscating Valentine's Day cards and making a bonfire of them.
Andrab said the aim of Valentine's Day is to "pave the way for Western culture to invade youths' hearts and minds and distance them from their traditional culture and Islamic principles.
"We want to save our youth from indecency and desire to see them as true followers of Islam. We won't like them to follow Western culture."
This is why God gave Cluster Bombs only to the Christians
Yeah, this is better morality
For those not familiar with it, the post's title is:

First it was cartoons, then it was a sex doll, and a pig squealing contestant, and now they're getting their turbans in a wad over Valentine's Day. Stop the insanity!
Well said
Kinda says it all, huh?
A Valentine to the female true believers:
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Muhammad was evil,
And so are you."
With All My Love(NOT),
Your Infidel Enemy
P.S: Please choke on pig vomit
Only because they don't know how to love anyone or anything except death and destruction. Maybe they should have a valentimebomb's day instead.
Well, since they can't get into the "love each other" thing, I have a suggestion about what they can do to themselves.
NEW DELHI, India, Feb. 14 - As lovers cooed over sodas and sandwiches, Hindu conservatives opposed to Valentine's Day celebrations targeted a colorfully decorated restaurant in New Delhi's main business district Wednesday, throwing chairs and terrifying customers

Wow shall we oppose the Hindus now. Muslims have never officially been in favor of Valetines day. This isnt news. But I suspect millions of Muslims celebrate it anyway.
LIke I posted I expect those are hindus. The HIndus are the one that really protest over it. Have protests I expect.
I suggest they stop all sex immediately!
No more procreation. Everybody wins.
Does the New York Times know about this?
I love this stuff; the more they do it, the more I like it!
I wish they'd take to the streets right here in the good old USA!
You shut your dirty infidel mouth! Every righteous being understands that those little pink hearts are the devil's candy, made with the Sugar of the Damned. To even look upon one leads the purest of children away from the Holy Dynamite of Martyrdom and into the arms of Satan, who never rests in his quest to corrupt us. The danger to our souls never passes. Soon enough, he will have his infernal minions hard at work dyeing the Easter Eggs of Iniquity. And don't even get me started on the Tinsel of Perdition.
