RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's religious police have banned red roses ahead of Valentine's Day, forcing couples in the conservative Muslim nation to think of new ways to show their love.





The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has ordered florists and gift shop owners in the capital Riyadh to remove any items colored scarlet, which is widely seen as symbolizing love, newspapers said.

It is not unusual for the Saudi vice squad to clamp down ahead of Valentine's Day, which it sees as encouraging relations between men and women outside of wedlock, the newspaper said.





Saudi Arabia imposes an austere form of Sunni Islam which prevents unrelated men and women from mixing, bans women from driving and demands that women wear a headscarf and a cloak.

LOL....it really is ridiculous. Just because they've banned all things red doesn't mean people still can't give each other red things! Someone could make a home-made red valentine! Anyways, once again, let me stress that SA is not enforcing proper Islam. They're enforcing a mutated, messed up version which gives women no rights and only makes the guys seem superior!
