It is not as if we do not have enough real problems in Pakistan to worry about. Why, then, do we keep inventing imaginary fights to worry about? Here are some Valentine’s Day pictures from Pakistan.

    People like Muhammad Waseem always amaze me and support my point of view that Pakistan is not ‘blessed’ with illiterate molvis only but there’s abundance of “parhay likhay jahil” as well who often goes silly just to prove themselves “smart” while in reality they become a reason of laughing for others when they show ignorance about the thing which they want to discuss.

    Bhai wasim,apna first name ki he laj rakhlo. I don’t know whether computer is haram or not but I am sure that it’s not “Haram” to use brain once in a while. Trust me it’s not haram at all. Aap k pir o Murshid St.Valentine ki Qasam

    @Humaira aap bhi kam kamaal ki nahin hay. Are you saying that everyone in a pair who *have fun* on V-day or any other day are “husband and wife”. Just wondering!

    ‘“male-female” relations. They is basic human aspect and even the Quran encourages it through nikah and marraige. ‘

    well sis then better to arrange wedding ceremonies on 14 feb rather than organizing dates or ball rooms…..

    ‘Anyone who uses a computer (a haram pagan invention) is not a muslim, of course’

    ……bro try to bring a logical reasoning :) why dont you adopt healthy things from others…like having tolerance , honesty , cleanliness etc why to adopt superficial cheap things…?sorry to say you have brought the same ..(illogical) reasoning like TALIBANS present for suicidal attacks and their self created SHARIAH…

    and kindly re-look what i said n meant….you must havent , most probably thats why you read and interpret my name as afreen ….its ARFEEN….

    ummm….can someone please explain why some people have to squeeze religion in every aspect of their (and others) lives?

    I bet God says “What a pathetic fool!” whenever He sees someone not enjoying the life He gave.

    Janaab “Afreen” afreen hai aap pay!

    Yeh “free sex” kahan milta hai Valentine day pay. Humain bhi batain? Ya yeh aap kay frustrated zehn ki eejad hai sirf!

    And as for “male-female” relations. They is basic human aspect and even the Quran encourages it through nikah and marraige.

    All the problems with Valentine’s day are in your head.

    Afreen is right. We should not do pagan things. Anyone who uses a computer (a haram pagan invention) is not a muslim, of course. Because if our religion wanted us to use computers Allah would certainly have given his mahboob Prophet (PBUH) a computer. Don’t tell me that you think Allah could not have given us a computer 1400 years ago. If He did not, it obviously means that Allah did not want us to use it. Anyone using it is pagan and should go to a cave and fight with Taliban to clean their soul.

    i wanna share a excerpt ;
    “in PAKISTAN,this 14th feb day has come to mean getting dressed in red,valentine cards,hearts and chocolates…..Through these ‘APPARENTLY INNOCENT’ things and gestures the occasion promotes the culture of free sex and male-female relations…….The question that comes to mind is why we should celebrate valentine’s day?Is it our National day or religious 1 ?
    are we only like cattle following others(Saint valentine/cupid’virtually naked God of love’) without knowing WHY,without understanding?
    If we love ALLAH ,how can we celebrate pagan custom when our LORD abhors paganism more than anything else? ”
    i know it would be hard for some to absorb and digest this (initially i didnt like it but its reality why we celebrate valentine?no logical reasoning …n i am not claiming i m a good MUSLIM , certainly i m not but i do need satisfactory answers in favour of celebrating valentine)

    We are a melting pot. Everything fits in its place. We cannot be rigid and not express our feelings

    Aziz is sounding like a “Madhosh Mehboba” who is ready to get melted in the arms of her love. ;)

    Aziz,fine that we re melting pot but why this melting only going to take place at our end? Why not the other side is getting melted. Why do we have to get melted in others arms? Where on earth it’s written that we always have to import others ideas and cultures? you curse others to live in ancient centuries. I think people like you still are not being able to come out of British Raj when several “desi angrez” happily become slaves of GOra and earned medals and what not at the cost of so called honor and respect.

    No one,so called literate and progressive class of Pakistan is actually the residue of Western society.

    @Wasim

    >>My religion and my culture is strong enough not to be >threatened by a box of chocolate!

    Your religion may be, but i am sure a newborn is not.
