It's a labour of love if you're trying to find the colour of passion for your Valentine's Day gift in Saudi Arabia, where Muslim religious police force shops to hide roses and smuggle heart-shaped cards under stacks of "To my grandmother" greeting cards. "I am sorry. No red roses. I had to remove them three days ago," a Filipino florist said, standing in front of a rich collection of roses and carnations of various colours, except red.He said the Commission enforced the ban for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (the Mutawa religious police), which raid shops to make sure that no signs of Valentine's Day celebrations are visible. "Mutawa come every morning and evening" to insure that shops are complying with the orders, he said. Four years ago, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abdulaziz al-Sheikh, branded Valentine's Day a "pagan Christian holiday" and decreed that "no Muslim who believes in God or judgement day should celebrate" on this day. The religious police bar shops from selling red roses, teddy bears, greeting cards or any kind of red-colour or heart-shaped gifts to celebrate St Valentine's Day.
