What is wrong with the man of love? Love=peace. No love, peace!

SRINAGAR, India (AFP) - An Islamic separatist women’s group, known for its fierce opposition to Western-style romance, vowed to prevent couples celebrating Valentine’s Day in revolt-hit Indian Kashmir.
“We will not allow anyone to observe Valentine’s Day as it does nothing but spread immorality among youth,” said Aasiya Andrabi, firebrand leader of the separatist Dukhtaran-e-Millat or Daughters of Faith.

The group, which supports a 16-year-old separatist insurgency against New Delhi’s rule in Indian Kashmir, is also engaged in a crusade to stamp out immorality in the Muslim-majority region.

Valentine’s Day, which is celebrated February 14, is “against our culture and Islamic teachings,” Andrabi said in a statement reported by Current News, a local news agency.

they think it is wrong because in Islam dating is not allowed… Atleast in the more conservative muslim families it is not allowed… And for many reasons. They see dating as satans way of drawing us humans to grave sins… And when you look at cultures that allow dating it is true that people have pre-marital sex, and get involved in many other things they shouldnt. Love in Islam is viewed as being great, just as in other faiths… Just the tradition western method of dating (being alone with the girl/guy, kissing, and more are not).

But i would say this is more of a political move, not a religious move. I say that because they are in kashmir in all places… Of course they are going to do the traditional hardline anti-western everything rhetoric. That is just how they were raised. The vast majority of the world was brought up to see us in the west as being bad people, therefor our holidays are bad. They are just trying to boost there image in the insurgencies thats all.
 
Hey thats good news M1. Love is belongs to humans and only humans understand love. :). Happy Valentines Day, everybody!
