Week 4 - Valentines Not for Muslims?

Valentines day in Malaysia had been conquering the media for the past week.Non Government Organization, Sisters in Islam (SIS) has criticize at several PAS Youth over its controversial plans to “check” sinful activities and play the moral police on Valentine’s Day.  

PAS Youth chief Nasrudin Hasan At-Tantawi reportedly said that the Pakatan Rakyat state in Kedah, Kelantan and Selangor had directed the local authorities to work closely with the police and Rela to check on immoral activities that day.

In August last year, According to Nasrudin, Valentines day and New Years are the main causes of social problems like rampant teenage baby dumping and increase in liberal socialization among teens and is one of the main reasons why the Islamic movements in Malaysia are going against Valentines Day.

Its good for religious bodies are trying to protect youth these days from sinful actions, but Vday was supposed to be a day for all the lovebirds out there to just celebrate their relationship and appreciate one and another. It is definitely not harmful but we should know our limits.
