Stop that unseemly debauchery and fornication!

You there! Put that thing away!

This is a time when the Muslims celebrate their blessed 'Eed, which is the 'Eed of glorifying and magnifying Allaah and thanking Him; and which is the 'Eed during which Muslims practice acts of kindness towards all, spend in charity, and bring joy to one another's hearts. It is also the 'Eed of chastity and innocence.

However, this is also a time when others are celebrating another festival whose name opposes its very essence; it is called 'Valentines Day' or 'The Festival of Love' while the reality of it is immorality, adultery, fornication and debauchery.

The vices that occur during this festival are unimaginable in their depravity and this is sure to repulse anybody who has a sense of honour and dignity.

Therefore, it is incumbent upon the 'Knights of Alminbar' to warn against this festival and enlighten the Muslims about this evil plot against them.
You can read several sermons (khutbah) on the subject, if you've need of a powerful soporific. I, personally, rather than reading the sermons, will remember to buy a card, chocolates, and flowers for The Little Woman. In the course of tomorrow, we might well indulge in vices that are unimaginable (I do hope she remembered to call the trapeze repairman...) I encourage all readers to do the same with the objects of their depraved Western lust and depravity, if only as a matter of cultural solidarity.

A mere couple days ago, Sofia Sideshow had an entry entitled "Let 'Em Speak." It suggested that the garbled lunacy spilling from the slackened lips of the lefties has been doing more harm to their cause than we of more moderate and sensible political affinities could ever do. In the same vein, I suggest that publicizing statements like this — illustrating the utterly intolerant humorlessness of the turban and automatic weapons set — does as much to hammer them as any statements we could come up with on our own.

The more I read drool like this, the more I'm convinced that, yes, there is indeed room for lots and lots of Islamists in Paradise. But that's only because they have such small souls that they don't take up much room.

#1  Notes of an Iranian Girl notes that the papers have said there is a crackdown on Valentine's Day goods, but the stores she has seen have plenty of stuff on display -

"Actually I got a little surprised by reading this piece of news, because yesterday that I had gone out, I saw all shops that sell valentine card, chocolate, dolls & the stuff open, & also full of young girls & boys, just like other years...so, I don't know, perhaps this cracking down started today! or it is a little bit bombastic!"
