Allahu Akbar : Malaysia Celebrates Valentine's Day by Arresting Unmarried Couples

[Afghanistan2010]

Morality police in Malaysia kicked off Valentine's Day by raiding cheap hotel rooms to arrest more than 80 young Muslims trying to "celebrate" the holiday. The unmarried couples were charged with "close proximity," which is basically being alone with a member of the opposite sex, a crime that is punishable by jail terms of up to two years. Islamic religious officials have been conducting an anti-Valentine's Day campaign that dates back to 2005, based on the idea that the holiday is a "trap" that is "synonymous with vice" and leads to other immoral activities. The raids took place almost immediately after midnight on Tuesday and focused on budget hotels and public parks, suggesting that the "couples" may not have been together that long, making them easy targets for morality warriors.

This news made my day.

Good to see there are good people who have some degree of modesty and haya.

Valentines and these other distractions are commercial masks. We should also spare a thought for all those poor Ecuadorian and Kenyan children with their blistered bleeding fingers, who supply the fresh flower industry in Europe and North America by toiling under the sun for 12 hour shifts.

What do they say? Time to wake up and smell the roses.

Exactly It is all about commercial : Christmas,Valentine,Eastday and.... it is all about money.

If MALAYSIA is doing this noble work to improve the spiritual and moral
levels of its people, then where are the other Muslim countries?
I hope THEY are ALL inspired themselves to enact similar measures -
and around the year, too.

I traveled in Malaysia on my first to Asia, and it was very laidback then.
Nice but not very strong backbone was shown then.

This is pleasant to see.

You mean Easter, 2010.

About the children in Ecuador, I had heard those and many adults too
cultivate the roses that are sent to the U.S.
But I had not heard about Kenya. Maybe flowers from there are sent to Europe
and the Middle East and Gulf area.
