DAR AL HARB - INDIA: "DAUGHTERS OF THE FAITH" STAND AGAINST VALENTINE'S DAY - IT'S IMMORAL & CONTRARY TO ISLAM

Kashmir: Islamic group called the ‘Daughters of the Faith’ comes out against Valentine’s Day

Dukhtaran-e-Millat, a Muslim women’s separatist group in Indian-held Kashmir, calls on people not to celebrate Valentine’s Day, an event they deem immoral and contrary to Islam. Many a conservative-minded Kashmiri agree.

A Muslim women’s separatist group in Indian-held Kashmir has urged the population not to celebrate Valentine’s Day because it is un-Islamic and promotes “immorality.” The group, known as Dukhtaran-e-Millat or ‘Daughters of the Faith,’ issued a statement appealing to “Kashmiri Muslims to avoid celebrating such events which have been prohibited by Islam.”

In their statement the ‘Daughters’ singled out young people, telling them not to fall into the devil’s trap that tries to “spread immorality.”

The group, which has campaigned for years “to eradicate social evils from society,” has openly expressed its support for Kashmiri separatists.

Its statement also targeted shopkeepers and restaurant owners, warning them against making money from selling “Valentine cards and other gifts related to this un-Islamic event,” or organising any functions on Valentine’s Day.

In the past the ‘Daughters of the Faith’ have acted on their threats, attacking stores that sold Valentine’s Day cards.

Never forget that in islam:

FREEDOM = PERFECT SLAVERY where

ALLAH = MASTER &

MAN/WOMAN = SLAVE...

...

“Hurriyya”, Arabic for freedom, and the uniquely Western concept of freedom are completely at odds. Hurriyya “freedom”, as Ibn Arabi (d. 1240) the lionized “Greatest Sufi Master”, expressed it, “being perfect slavery”. And this conception is not merely confined to the Sufis perhaps metaphorical understanding of the relationship between Allah the “master” and his human “slaves.” The late American scholar of Islam, Franz Rosenthal (d. 2003) analyzed the larger context of hurriyya in Muslim society. He notes the historical absence of hurriyya as “a fundamental political concept that could have served as a rallying cry for great causes.” An individual Muslim “was expected to consider subordination of his own freedom to the beliefs, morality and customs of the group as the only proper course of behavior…” Thus politically, Rosenthal concludes, “…the individual was not expected to exercise any free choice as to how he wished to be governed…In general, …governmental authority admitted of no participation of the individual as such, who therefore did not possess any real freedom vis-à-vis it.”
