"Happy Valentine's Day"

In most of the world,

these would be innocuous good wishes

but not in the islamic countries.

Islam has edictally indicated that

there are only two holidays in Islam

Eid al-Fitri and Eid al-Adha.

Any other holidays are inventions which Muslims are banned from.

Those whom celebrate will be severely punished.

Valentine's Day is a light-hearted matter

but efforts to repress it symbolize an intent to make war on modernity.

In this way,

the cultural struggle over heart-shaped cards points to a battle now underway for the soul of Islam.

Can Islam suppress what has come to be known as "Lover's Day"?

Or

can it keep this holiday within acceptable bounds?

Much hangs in the balance.

But whatever it is,

i'm out of love
