Maybe Valentine’s Day makes you grumpy or even sad. Fair enough.
Well, if it does, here’s a reason to cheer up. The day drives Islamist extremists completely nuts. Its popularity is such a nice little victory for our free society over their life-hating misery.
Here’s a case in point. Nasty in Bradford? Come along to this event and freeze your heart with truly resolute misanthropes.
Speaker Murtaza Khan in particular is perfect for this – he is a Valentine’s nightmare. Take it away, Murtaza.
Luridness. Promiscuity. Free mixing. Sexual interaction. Laughing. Joking. All of this with the opposite sex is nothing but evil things.

The thing that destroys many of our youth in this country is women have destroyed them. Their lusts and their desires take them away from the deen [religion] of Allah.

We’re not harsh. We don’t need to speak to no woman who’s not a mahram [kin whom one may not marry] towards us. That’s the way we should be. That’s the way Muslims should be. This flirtatious speech that you find among sisters, the way they talk to a man. That’s not the speech of the ummah of the believers. Never ever deceive your voice in front of a man. Even though we know that a woman’s voice is not awra [nakedness], but if you deceive your voice, treachery! This sort of love and affection, then that’s forbidden according to the sharia. You speak according to the Qur’an, you speak clear words, and words even full of harshness to a man who is not related to you.As for this flirtatious behaviour, even under the disguise of Islamic seminars, the way that people speak to one another, it is against the sharia given to the prophet Mohammed. It is the deception of the devil.

People might say “you’re harsh”, “you’re rude towards women”. I don’t care if I’m rude towards women who have got nothing to do with me.
Take that, sweet nothings!
He really likes these wretched and desolate themes. No scary and wicked Chanel for Murtaza, please:
Any woman who comes out of her house, perfuming herself, and every man that smells her, then she is just classified, according to sharia, as an adulterous woman.

The biggest fitna [trial, tribulation, discord] left behind for my people is women. That is the biggest fitna. The words of the prophet Mohammed. Fear women, fear the dunya [this life, this world] and fear women. Cos the first thing that struck the children of Israel [a scriptural reference], the fitna that struck them is women.
Ah, being smitten only becomes all the sweeter when I hear ridiculous words like these.
A successful military strike against horrible terrorists makes me grimly proud. Bye bye, Jihadi Fucking John, who’s next? Clever operations by the police and the security services that lead to terror arrests, prosecutions and convictions bring on an appreciative wily grin and chuckle. Valentine’s Day is different. As I survey the rage, fired above all by deep fears that the flock will stray our way, I feel simple and sheer joy. We will win.
Algerian artist Cheb Khaled at his joyful best. Gasp, so much free mixing! “On va s’aimer, on va danser, c’est la vie.” (“We will love, we will dance, that’s life.”) Yes!
