‘Celebrate Valentine’s Day and rot in hell’
London: As millions of Brits plan to celebrate St Valentine’s Day this Saturday, the controversial Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary has warned Brit lovers that if they celebrate Valentine’s Day, they will rot in hell.
The hate preacher slammed the practice of exchanging cards, sending roses or enjoying romantic candlelit dinners, claiming Britain’s favourite tradition as “a futile and evil festival”, used to justify sinful actions such as free-mixing, promiscuity, vain sexual talk and even fornication, The Daily Star reported.
The London-born lawyer, who in his youth was a cider-drinking ladies’ man, posted the 800-word rant on his anti-West website, The Islamist.
