Saudis Ban Red Roses Ahead Of Valentine’s Day
SAUDI Arabia’s religious police have banned red roses ahead of Valentine’s Day, forcing couples in the conservative Muslim nation to think of new ways to show their love.
The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has ordered florists and gift shop owners in the capital Riyadh to remove any items coloured scarlet, which is widely seen as symbolising love, newspapers said.
“They visited us last night,” the Saudi Gazette quoted an unidentified florist as saying.
It is not unusual for the Saudi vice squad to clamp down ahead of Valentine’s Day, which it sees as encouraging relations between men and women outside of wedlock, the newspaper said.

omfg, you have to be kidding me.
No, wait, who am I kidding? In a society that covers their women because men can’t stand temptation… In a society that mutilates their little girls so that they grow into women who cannot have sex for pleasure… OF COURSE this what they do.
What next? No chocolate? No wonder their fanatics bomb everything. There’s nothing to live for.

February 11th, 2008 at 10:10 amI feel so sorry for moslem women, they are so oppressed. I was on a plane yesterday and just seeing a young lady with the rag on her head, with her un-ragged husband, well, she might as well have been wearing chains. Not a peep from Billary, or Gloria Steinhem, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch or the other lefties. Nope.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:12 amI bet the Muzzies would phreak out if every American mail were to stop a Mooslem female on the street and give her a red rose on Valentines day. Not for love…just to pick a fight with some diaper-wearing goat-fucker…
