Muslim clerics want government to curb Valentine’s

that picture is misleading, Tats a Sikh man not a Muslim!

Who is ruling Malaysia now, secular politicians or Islamic clerics? This is the reason why from the very beginning various groups opposed the labelling of Malaysia as an Islamic country. The more one accomodates religious groups who are bent on causing disunity and anarchy in the country the greaters is the risk of civil war. One need not to be told where to look for on the globe the major centres of ethnic and religious conflict. Invariably they are all in the moslem countries, so called countries ruled by the laws of God. Hope the government won't give in to the pressures of extremist groups. Our painful memories of the Al-Mauna uprising is still fresh with us and the sympathysers of the dead Hindu and Christian policeman were in this case were about to run riot only to be calmed with the payment of an undisclosed sum of money by Tun Dr. Mahathir to the families of both the victims.

Valentine's Day is not a matter of life and death. If you must - educate Muslims on the subject matter when they are young. Muslims attend religious classes and it looks like the teachers aren’t addressing the issue adequately. Don't just instruct the government to do it. Give the government ideas and learn to work with the government to deal with the matter effectively.
I am just wondering why the same clerics aren’t screaming their hearts out on the subject of rampant corruption in the country! Corruption if it continues to go unchecked can DESTROY the very fabric of our society. And the clerics don’t care or what???

misleading picture that a Sikh man not a Muslim...it might cause problems..
yahoo remove the picture pls

such a paranoid.. we don't need u to celebrate what we believe in. we only need u to practice what u preached. plus even we non-muslim do not not exaggerate the V'day celebration, why should u?

Melissa Chi, you picked the wrong picture for your story. The man in the picture is a Sikh not a muslim with a valentine cake. Perhaps you reporters yourselves need some basic religion understanding before writting any articles. After 911 what happened in the US was exactly the same many whites thought sikhs were muslims because of the turban and as a result many were attacked and even killed. Why blame the whites when our own people here in malaysia are equally iliterate.

Suicide is forbidden by Islam. Murdering innocent people is forbidden by Islam. Why aren't you protesting that?

my friends till today still send me valentine cards and flowers.....but nothing change in me being a Muslim...i still pray 5 times a day....pay zakat fasting in ramadhan.....etc.. ulamak should not make life miserable!

To my Indian, Malay, Iban and Chinese friends, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Why are this PUA so scared of Valentine Day ,is it the faith & iman of the Muslim is that thin,i doubt it,let the non muslim celebrate,why want make such a hassle,eventually it will pass in one day and another day continues.This are all done for cheap publicity,There are a lot of other things PUA can do such as divorce cases.ALCOHOLISM,DRUGS ,mat rempit,ragut,father raping daughter,gd father raping gd daughter,gays,go and advise this people who is doing worst immoral act.I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY IF THE FIGHT NO TO ALCOHOLISM IN MALAYSIA which is consider HARAMMMMMM IN ISLAM.Think there is alot of things to do other than shouting against Valantine day

Memang sensitif apa yang akan saya tuliskan tapi benar. adakah apa yang di lakukan pada hari Valentine berbeza dengan hari hari yang lain oleh muda mudi kita. of course not. everyday things are hapenning. so kalau nak discourage Valentine day celebration kena haramkan segala yang sedan gberlaku diantara muda mudi kita. termasuk oleh murid murid sekolah yang tak ke sekolah tapi atas motorsikal kesana kemari. dari rumah pakai uniform tapi dalam uniform ada T shirt and bawah kain ada long pants ( for girls) lepas itu tengah jalan tukar belakang rumah yang penghuni dah pergi kerja. so nak kata ini di sarankan di Islam tidak sebab TIDAK ada mana mana ugama yang akan berkata ini bukan DOSA. so nak mula dari mana dan siapa yang akan mulakan nya. THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE but NO ONE DARE BRING IT UP. OR DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHY WHY WHY. isue kecil macam Valentine di besarkan.

Ignorant fool. That pic show a sikh not a muslim with the valentine cake.

PUM is a bunch of morons with Taliban mentality. If they think Valentine's Day has Christian elements and anti - Islam, PUM should be aware that Malaysia is not an Islamic country. So demanding for control over print media or digital media is uncalled for. The media is for all races and not just Muslims. PUM should stop imposing itself on secular Malaysia. What audacity they have to belittle another religion ? This clearly makes them nothing more than an uncivilized group. Such barbaric claims are against a democratic country, which has no respect for the other non Malay races and their faiths. What rotten school of thoughts !!

Saya mau celebrate...saya punye pasal...jgn jaga tepi kain org sudah.

These Ulamas are getting really too much...first that is a sikh man standing there...not a muslim. Second Valentine day is a day to express love not only to lover...to family also...and today during this times..i believe we really need it.

kalau kita ada iman yang kuat, nak masuk tokong, gereja atau disco tak ada masalah tapi jangan terikut budaya barat atau melalaikan suruhan Tuhan. itu sahaja jadinya ikut lah sunnah dan tinggalkan laranganNya. Itulah sebenar2nya umat islam.

PUM talking nonsense. Valentine's Day is a commercial non religious event, nothing to do with Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism and Buddism.

Please stop living in the Stone Age.

Hi Nordin, you are right. What is so great about Valentines day? Its another day when the retailers make money, thats it. You want to show love, hug and kiss your spouse and be sincere and faithful. Our asian traditions and customs have a lot of ways to show love to your spouse. Valentine is for the westerns who need to prove to their spouse that they still love them. Dumb event. Ban them and we will save more money instead of making idiots like KFC get rich. Its about time Malaysians need to start saving money like Singaporean do and then our economy will be save.

I have a Muslim friend whom I love very much in the past but can't "own" her. I would like her to know that she is still "dear" to me and I would like to wish her well during Valentine Day. Is that wrong?

Please do not talk about demoting Valentine Day. It is Valentine for young Muslim couples everyday in Public Parks, so why talk about the once a year event. This event is enjoyed by married couples of all faiths too. If you want to promote 1-Malaysia, please do it with fairness. By restricting people, you are only making them run wild.. It looks like your Muslim faith is going down the drains, instead of moving forwards.
