I meant our own media didn’t do much for portraying soft image of Islam.
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
by the same analogy you would agree that people have no problem with army take over as no agitation by people is observed. But, i m sure you wont.
My analogy is for active restriction against culture invasion. Our society has accepted cultural invasions since centuries from all the invaders. Now its the turn of western culture.

They did try and posted hadiths like one person killed by someone is like whole mankind is killed, discussions from religious scholars and fatwas were given against terrorism etc....but the news of 911 overshadowed these efforts.
In some areas of west, Muslims did seminars and rallies but those were not shown by the media.

people in our society don't show agitation for any kind of invasion including cultural invasion. I think this clarifies my understanding :p
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
Pemra circulated a letter saying it was acting on complaints that celebrating the day
was not in line with “our
religious and cultural
ethos”.

yeah, venereal disease is less dangerous than the other one.
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
But media (all channels) did special transmission on this day. No one followed Pemra

yeah, bigotry makes ways for more bigotry. There is no action without reaction.
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
Meh, people can do what they want.
These days (valentines, mothers, etc) aren't religious days. And more importantly, a lot of money can be made off of them. Ergo, their easier to spread.
As for western society, I think you can say anything you want, but you have to give the fact that they do allow other ceremonies/holidays to happen, and at times have made an effort to accommodate/celebrate. You gotta give credit where it's due.
