Which country forbids Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day is a day when commercial speculation, a western country, comes out to make a lot of money. Lure men and women who are having an affair to increase their consumption and show their love to each other. There are many stories and legends about the origin of this festival, but a reliable source said that it was the "Faun Festival" in the farming and animal husbandry era of ancient Rome. Every year in mid-February, after the "beginning of spring" in the China lunar calendar, green spring weather appears in the fields. Farmers and herdsmen are the luckiest when they see spring returning to the earth. They prayed to the god of agriculture for a good harvest in a year. Later, in the 4th century AD, the Roman Catholic Church opposed the peasants' wishing to worship God, and asked the Roman emperor to change this festival to commemorate a Christian missionary "Saint", and made up a story about the secret combination of men and women for him, so it became "Saint Valentine's Day", which was translated as "Valentine's Day" by Chinese people. In order to welcome the arrival of spring, people start farming or grazing after the New Year, which is really a happy thing. Now that most parts of the world are urbanized, people in cities may not be interested in such important things as agriculture and animal husbandry. But western society attaches great importance to business, money worship prevails, and everything is equal to money. Just like Christmas, the atmosphere of Valentine's Day has been completely polluted by commercialization, and it has become a stinking consumer festival, which is a good opportunity for businesses to make money. Whether this festival was originally to worship Saturnalia, or it was changed by the Catholic Church to commemorate Christian "saints", or it was tempted by commercialization to express the infatuation and intimacy between men and women with high consumption, it is contrary to the Islamic spirit. Therefore, many Islamic countries have explicitly banned this festival, such as Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Pakistan, India (Muslim), Iran, Brunei and Malaysia. The following are two recent messages. One is Saudi Arabia's reaffirmation of the Valentine's Day ban, and the other is an announcement issued by the Russian Muslim Association. People's Daily Online February 12 News: With the advent of Valentine's Day in the West, religious police in Saudi Arabia are getting more and more busy. They walked down the street, carefully looking for red goods (such as red roses, heart-shaped gifts or red paper bags) sold by shops that can be used to celebrate Valentine's Day. According to Saudi Arabia's law, it is forbidden to celebrate Valentine's Day. The Saudi religious police said that on days other than Valentine's Day, businesses can sell all kinds of red products. It is reported that because Valentine's Day is a Christian festival, it has become a "forbidden zone" for Saudis who believe in Islam. Now, all the red goods in shops in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, are gone. Earlier, the religious police issued a statement in the newspaper, reminding relevant businesses to "mind their own business". Devout Muslims believe that celebrating Valentine's Day is a "cultural aggression" used by western countries to corrupt young people, so it must be banned. But in some Islamic countries in the Middle East, there is no strict prohibition law, and curious young people have no scruples about it. They like to "play" and set themselves free. News again. Gulf Times February 1 1 Moscow News: The leaders of Muslim society appealed to their followers to boycott the "St. China's Day in Thailand" (that is, Valentine's Day) because it has a corrosive effect on young Muslims' thoughts, and it "promotes indulgence, denies morality and nihilism". After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, Russia introduced western social culture and lifestyle, which flooded in. Almost all festivals held by westerners have been transplanted to Russia, and young people use it to show "avant-garde" and catch up with fashion, such as "Valentine's Day", but Russian officials do not recognize this festival. The call of Muslim leaders to Muslim youth hopes to build a spiritual wall. In today's era of ideological confusion, we can firmly grasp the spiritual ropes of Islam, maintain a noble national character, stand out from the mire and not be defiled. The Muslim Council of Nizhny Novograd issued a statement to the local people, forbidding Muslim men and women to celebrate St. Valenti's Day. The statement said: "We call on Muslims and other citizens with conscience to boycott this festival, because this festival not only violates Islamic moral standards, but also undermines the moral values of the public." The Council asked all schools in this area not to allow students to commemorate this festival on the grounds that "this festival is harmful to morality and ethics". In the former Soviet Union, residents lived behind the tightly controlled iron curtain, and the broad masses of workers, peasants and soldiers never knew the existence of this Valentine's Day. However, today's Russian society is scrambling to learn and imitate western culture, so it regards Valentine's Day in the west as an interesting and relaxing day. The commercial market takes advantage of people's emptiness, worships foreign things and flatters foreign things, and makes a big fuss about strengthening sales. After entering February, all kinds of Valentine's Day gifts imitating western society, such as chocolate, flowers, jewelry, gifts, beautiful clothes and romantic candlelight dinner recipes, are more lively than Valentine's Day in any western country. In 2008, Svetlana, the wife of the current Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, created a new national festival: Family Love and Loyalty Festival, hoping to replace the invasion of western culture and promote Russian cultural traditions, but the social response was cold.
