I'm offended, and my religious and cultural sensitivities are hurt by this act of intolerance. I think I'll go stone a mosque or burn down a diplomatic building!

Nearly two dozen black-veiled Muslim women stormed gift and stationery shops Friday in Kashmir, burning Valentine's Day cards and posters to protest a holiday they say imposes Western values on Muslim youth

No one was hurt in the half-dozen or so incidents, and police cordoned off the area to prevent the women from marching through Srinagar's main shopping district to continue their ransacking.

The women were from the Kashmiri Islamic group Dukhtaran-e-Millat, or Daughters of the Community, Kashmir's only women's separatist group, whose members are also known for their fiercely conservative social views.

"We will not let anyone sell these cards or celebrate Valentine's Day," said Asiya Andrabi, the group's leader, as she held a burning poster in her hand. "These Western gimmicks are corrupting our kids and taking them away from their roots."

She said that the raids were carried out "not to harm anyone but to make them realize that this is against Islam's teachings."

So what you are trying to say, you daughter of a pig, is that everyone must conform to your stilted narrow view of your religion. Failure to comply with your faith will result in acts of violence and vandalism.

Would you care to explain to me why I should have a single ounce of respect for you and your Religion of Violence?
