Excerpts:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, February 14, is Valentine\u2019s Day, the sacred day that intimate companions mark to celebrate their love and affection for one another. If you\u2019re thinking about making a study of how couples celebrate this day in a positive and loving manner, the Muslim world and the milieus of the radical Left are not the places you should be spending your time. Indeed, it\u2019s pretty hard to outdo Islamists and \u201cprogressives\u201d when it comes to the hatred of Valentine\u2019s Day. And this hatred is precisely the territory on which the contemporary romance<\/a> between the Left and Islamic Supremacism is formed.<\/em><\/p>\n

The train is never late: every year that Valentine\u2019s comes around, the Muslim world erupts with ferocious rage, with its leaders doing everything in their power to suffocate the festivity that comes with the celebration of private romance. Imams around the world thunder against Valentine\u2019s every year — and the celebration of the day itself is literally outlawed in Islamic states.<\/em><\/p>\n

This year, for example, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has, as always, banned Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a> for promoting \u201cimmorality, nudity and indecency.\u201d Pakistani television and radio stations are disallowed from mentioning the event — because of a court order the Islamabad High Court<\/a> issued last year. No one in society, from an official level to any public place, can even hint that they might be celebrating, let alone thinking about, the day.<\/em><\/p>\n

…………………………………………<\/em><\/p>\n

In the West, meanwhile, leftist feminists are not to be outdone by their Islamist allies in reviling — and trying to exterminate — Valentine\u2019s Day. Throughout many Women\u2019s Studies Programs on American campuses, for instance, you will find the demonization of this day, since, as the disciples of Andrea Dworkin angrily explain, the day is a manifestation of how capitalist, racist, classist, sexist and homophobic patriarchs brainwash and oppress women — and push them into spheres of powerlessness.<\/em><\/p>\n
