Reader comment on item: Valentine's Day in Mecca
in response to reader comment: Hey Debanjan, celebration of love is universal and Western or Eastern!!!!

Nobody is forcing Muslims to celebrate Valentine's Day and yet it is popular in Muslim countries - that says a lot about what they would prefer to celebrate. Feeling of love is universal and that is why Valentine's day is way ahead of allah's day and for that the Saudi police has to crack down its own citizens. Sad, sad sad....
