Kashmir's Muslims, it seems, want to make last year's valentine burning an annual event. This year, the "Forum Against Social Evils"* went all out this year, and actually raided restaurants to beat up romantic couples on their way to burn valentine cards, which the group claims represent degenerate Western immorality.

Almost as silly as the Australian witch who blames the "Church" for 'ruining' the festivities by replacing Lupercalia's fornication with flowers and chocolate, but truth be told, I think I prefer the See's candy to a flogging with a bloody goatskin, thanks all the same! (Not to mention, I don't think Valentine's has ever gone without the fornication.)

Another take on this wicked Pagan holiday. * The US has a Christian version, called the "Crusade for the Defense of Christian Civilization," that has similar ideals.
