Valentine's Day is a celebration of 'Romantic Love' ....it can be between any couple (or even a chance to express secret love), and not necessarily 'married couples' ..... and this is a problem in societies where 'Romantic Love' is considered a sin.
So its hardly a real surprise when Malaya (which is a majority Muslim country), announced that celebration of romantic love was "not suitable" for Muslims, and that in support of this decision some Malaysian states are planning to carry out checks on hotels, to stop young Muslim couples having premarital sex .... there must bethousands, err hundreds, err one or two of them.
As usual this anti western stance can be traced back to a Mullah issuing a "Fatwa" in 2005 - and that's that. One unelected mans bigotry, and its suddenly 'moral' and 'state law' for millions. This is how 'democracy' works under 'sharia law' ..... one man, one vote, and its the mullah who has them.
By the way, whatever happened to that 'cultural globalisation' or 'cultural multiculturalism' that we get rammed down our throats in the West, when its a 'Muslim' country that's rejecting foreign cultures?

I should imagine that 'arranged marriages' to your cousins, tends to take the 'romance' out of the whole thing .... so romantic love is probably "not suitable" for Muslim girls, may give them ideas.
ReplyDeleteBeing forced to marry your first cousin is very common amongst Pakistani descent "Britons" ....
