Kashmir Muslim group: "Say no to Valentine's Day"

Many Muslims have problems with Valentine's Day. Look for more stories like this one over the next couple days.

From Greater Kashmir:

The Forum against Social Evils (FASE) has appealed the people of Kashmir to stay away from celebrating Valentine’s Day.A FASE statement issued here Thursday said, "We appeal Muslim Ummah to refrain from celebrating the day and launch a campaign against those who advocate its celebration." The FASE has also appealed the shopkeepers who sell greeting cards on this occasion that they should stop selling the cards as it, according to them, results in the "moral degradation and immorality."They have expressed anguish over different mobile companies who do a brisk business by encouraging the trend of sending messages on the occasion. The forum has warned the Valley youth that if it came across their participation in any programme on the occasion of Valentines Day, they will take action against the same.
