Lots of Muslims seem pretty anti-Valentines day.

The Fatwas have been flying in places like Indonesia and Saudi Arabia.

It's almost like Islam itself is against love....

Um, no.

FTA:
"A Jordanian dressed a donkey in red...."

Yeah it seems the hindus hate it too. I didn't think valentines day was celebrated outside north america?

Buddhist terrorists make delicious cake so people enjoy earthly delights and thus damn themselves, avoiding Nirvana for yet another life-cycle.

After all it's really Saint Valentine's Day. It's not surprising Muslims would hate it.

Having seen your previous posts, it's hard to take someone like you serious, actually.


And why is that?

Yes. Look at the shiatstorm whenever a Western school teaches kids about the Hajj, or when a university installs foot baths etc. It's all about people who are not interested in other religions being represented, accommodated, or respected in any way.

(Though I personally think the Muslims have nothing to worry about, since V-day is about as "Christian" as Arbor Day.)

"The move is intended to send a clear message to all that celebrating Valentine's Day is strange to our religion, traditions and culture,"

Sometimes I think that religion finds EVERYTHING strange to their culture.

terrorists exist in every religion/ideology

 
blackula 2009-02-15 09:44:33 AM  
correction: in most major religions/ideologies

they're the 1% factor.. just some are more explody than others

I bet after disguising as a donkey his own rear really did hurt.

"in early 2001, two Jordanians [U.N. workers] were evacuated home with injured penises after attempting sexual intercourse with goats."

OK, fair enough. So now, in honor of Start of Ramadan/ Ramzan:

In the future, try to come up with a headline that doesn't get the text of the article completely wrong. There's a difference between putting a red cloth ON a donkey and dressing YOURSELF up LIKE a donkey. RTFA, pal.

Notabunny: You all don't understand. The're tyring to save you. (pops)

I think I have it now. There is no critical thinking in the Muslim world...none.

Now we need someone to dressup as Jesus and he can him into Jerusalem.

 
Sarcastica75 [TotalFark] 2009-02-15 11:04:44 AM  
Will he be going to Mexico to perform in a show?

You realize Muslims fast during the day in Ramadan right? It has nothing to do with certain foods (e.g. pork).

I think he's just being generally disrespectful.

Maybe he's just dressing up to attract a boyfriend ...

 
stuffy 2009-02-15 01:56:39 PM  
Yes people in love dont tend blow themselves up.

 
Welcome to the Machine [TotalFark] 2009-02-15 03:36:47 PM  
Hmmm, Muslim man saying that showing respect and openly expressing love for a partner is against their religion?

/shock
//dismay
