The conservative Indonesian Ulema Council in Tasikmalaya, West Java announced a ban on Valentine’s Day on Friday, citing its Roman legacy that contradicts Islamic law.

Islam only recognizes mutual respect, which is commonly expressed at an informal social gathering, Acep added.
“All activities related to the Valentine’s Day are haram [forbidden under Islam],” he told tempointeraktif.com.
