Afghans have scaled back their Valentine’s Day celebrations this year due to the return of the Taliban rule, which has enforced a strict version of Sharia law.
Samir and Maryam, an engaged couple in Kabul, said on Feb. 14 that for the past two years, they had celebrated Valentine’s Day at a restaurant. But this year, they had to stay at home.
“Yesterday, we went to a restaurant to make a reservation, but unfortunately we could not make a booking at any restaurant due to security issues and threats,” said Samir.
Kabul flower seller Khalid Sangeen said people used to buy flowers for their loved ones on Feb. 14, but “now people do not pay attention to all these things because they neither have a job nor money for such things.”
The Islamist movement has struggled to show a more conciliatory face to the world since it swept to power on Aug. 15, 2021, but there remains uncertainty over how it will govern.
It has said cultural activities would be allowed, as long as they did not go against sharia and Afghanistan’s Islamic culture.

Sad that Biden stole $7 Billion from those needy people.
The propaganda continues even after 20 years of brainwashing and baseless wars killing millions having nothing to do with 9/11
Damn! Life must be tough, you know Sharia law is a man-made law to abuse and control women and children, just like the Mormons, Jehova, … This world would have been in a better place if there is no relgion.
The biggest joke ever:VALENTINES IN AFGHANISTAN! LOL. At least Afghan girls don't have freedom to go out from the house lonely . I feel so bad about them
If Afghanistan was so good during american rule then why they left them in "Jeopardy "
THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO ALL WHO BELIEVE! For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
Christ the Power and Wisdom of God
18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Glory Only in the Lord
26For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”
No Valentine’s Day massacre?
Kabul city looks gorgeous than Dhaka city.
Love from Bangladesh to our afgan brothers and sisters
Sad… Sharia law is outdated. What kind of god will impose that???
Repent to Jesus Christ
“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.”
James 1:22-24 NIV
America biggest thief of the century,
Afghanistan assets for American people.
It’s an American celebration though… not a worldwide one even if the businesses try
ISLAM ☪️ The Enemy Within 😡🇬🇧👎
in "Valentine’s Day" afghan kids die from hunger while west stealing their money
Everyone Should Skip Valentine's Day …..!!!..It's A Total Rip Off!!!!..
This is all fake I am Afghanni in Afghanistan no one’s celebrates Valentine’s Day bcz it’s haram in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 not in Afghanistan at every Muslim country
Turkey should send refugees back to Afghanistan. There is no problem. Even Valentine's Day is celebrated.
We have worst problems.We don't want anybody.
VALENTINES is a ROMAN EMPIRE culture.
Afghans are NOT ROMANS by their multi-ethnic culture.
We don't celebrate it too since it has "religious roots, association".
As an atheist by myself, we stopped celebrating this Roman culture,. introduced to us by our COLONIAL Spanish Empire in the Philippines.
The world is practecing starvation and Economic terroresom on Afghanistan after loos.. Hypoqrits
طالبان وحشی با گلها چه دشمنی دارند؟ میخواهند ما را به قرون ۶ و ۷ به کلتور اعرابی که غیر از ریگ و خاک و قتل و قاتل چیزی بهتر را بلد نبودند . گل برای مراسم عزاداری ، خوشیها، بالای قبور والدین و دیگر مراسم ! حالا میخواهند این هدیه و تحفه خدادا را از مردم بگیرند چرا اینقدر وحشت؟
Why should a western holiday be celebrated in a culture where it makes no sense?
God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone…" Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent.
