not many divergent paths. It is a great tragedy that under the 
constant barrage of commercial and cultural propaganda from the 
forces of globalization and the relentless media machine, Muslims 
have begun to embrace the Valentines, the Halloween ghost, and even 
the Santa Claus. Given our terrible and increasing surrender to 
paganism the only day we should be observing is a day of mourning. 
Better yet it should be a day of repentance that could liberate us 
from all these days. And all this daze.
