Saint Valentine . . . the pagan?

Islamic clerics in Saudi Arabia (our good friends, the Saudis) denounce Valentine's Day as a "pagan Christian holiday" and forbid its celebration in the kingdom. Other news reports speak of reprisals against shop owners selling Valentine's Day items. Ah, wonderful, a jihad against hearts and flowers. More here: scroll down.

Valentine's Day was just fine in this Pagan household, thanks for asking.
