349: Revised (Fri. 12th Dec. 2008) Saudi Arabia: Birthdays, Mother's Day, Valentine against Islam

22 August, 2008

BIRTHDAY PARTIES, WEDDINGS, MOTHER’S DAY, CEREMONIES / CELEBRATIONS

Reuters via Yahoo! News Thursday 21^st August 2008

Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti Abdul-Aziz Al-Shaikh said that celebrating anniversaries, birthdays or Mother’s Day is against Moslem righteousness; quashing suggestions by a colleague that Islam permits personal celebrations.

Media-savvy-cleric, Salman Al-Awdah, told viewers during a call-in television show last week that celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries was not against Islam, sparking a debate in the conservative kingdom and prompting the mufti to weigh in.

Abdul-Aziz Al-Shaikh said that celebrating such events make Moslems like followers of other faiths – including Jews and Christians; the Al-Madina newspaper reported.

Abdul-Aziz Al-Shaikh embodies Wahhabism, the hard-line, hard-nosed, and hard-head Islamic doctrine that has ruled hand in hand with the Saud family since the kingdom was founded some eight decades ago.Women are banned from driving and mixing with unrelated men in Saudi Arabia, whose clerics also issue edicts ordering Saudis not to buy red roses on Valentine's Day on an almost annual basis.

The paper quoted Shaikh as also saying: a Muslim should thank almighty Allah if his children are healthy and if his married life is stable as the years pass by and that two occasions only call for celebration in the Moslem world: Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan; and Eid al-Adha, which marks the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Daniel: What’s the use of children being healthy when they cannot live their child-hood? What are they, livestock? Also, how could marriages be stable when wives are treated like slaves or properties and children are treated like livestock?

Salman Al-Awdah, who follows a relatively softer line, is widely believed to be favored by circles close to King Abdullah. The monarch has repeatedly said that Saudi Arabia needed reforms that would help the KSA to evolve with the times and adapt to changes.

Ali Khamenei and Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, with the help of mad-men megalomaniacs like Hassan Nesrallah, want to set up their own brand or version of A United States of Shiite Islam, comprising Lebanon, Israel-Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, and the KSA. Osama Bin Ladin is determined to revert Afghanistan and Iraq to the Status Quo Ante before the invasion for the liberation of these two countries, topple or destroy the Saudi Royal Family, and establish his own brand or version of an Islamic Sultanate or Caliphate – with him as The Sultan or Caliph of Arabia – so any plans or projects that promise to bring knowledge and enlightenment are a danger to their kind since they survive and thrive on illiteracy ignorance naivety mute submission and blind obedience – the men moving and staring about with their mouths wide open and their eyes wide shut like zombies; and the women moving and staring about with their faces and bodies covered, but with their mouths wide open and their eyes wide shut all the same, although we cannot see them, like phantoms or shadows: subdued, cowered, mute, submissive, and obedient; and under their rule and control! In other words: under their heels and wheels!

Saucy-Arabia’s Religious Leaders and Police have banned Spouses, Lovers, and loved-ones from expressing their emotions at Valentine, and now intend to ban couples-to-be, parents, relatives, friends, and children from celebrating weddings, christenings, baptisms, birthday parties, and holding funeral ceremonies for their deceased loved-ones; not knowing that they are crippling the economy by preventing Green-house and Gift-Shop Owners and other Shop Owners – not to mention Gift Manufacturers – from doing business: these from enjoying seasons and occasions of love and joy, and those from gaining from it.

Personally, and if you ask me, the CPVPV ought to be changed to the CDVPV: the Commission for the Demotion of Virtue and the Promotion of Vice because The CPVPV is The Commission for the Promotion of Vice and the Prevention of Virtue

If anything at all; this will pour oil on the fires and compound the problem beyond solution. It will only make things much worse than they are already. Also, I wonder whether the CPVPV or CDVPV realise that this will force most of them to travel to neighbouring countries and push the rest to look for other ways and means of either expressing themselves or celebrating. Less business for the KSA means more business for neighbouring countries.Anger and Frustration lead to Repulsion and Rebellion, eventually.This is exactly what I meant by taking one’s religion too seriously and to extremes.

A religion and system that do not adapt and adjust, and conform to, and integrate into the times is bound to face serious difficulties and eventually lead to revulsion repulsion and open rebellion.
