Story from http://www.foxnews.com/ concerning the possible ban on Valentine’s Day by Kuwait hardliners.

My questions to you are: Why do we care if the people of Kuwait are allowed to celebrate Valentine's Day? Don't enough people in the States complain that Valentine's Day is just a "Hallmark Holiday"? I know some people out there will write "At least we have a choice if we want to participate in the holiday or not", and I get that. One can only assume the point Fox News is trying to make by posting this article. I believe they are trying to push the point that societies across the Middle East are starting to lean towards fanaticism. Do people really care how Kuwait decides to handle this holiday in their country? Isn't Saint Valentine and Valentine's a Christian holiday?
This is just another in the long list of growing examples that we have of the media in the U.S. trying to push our American agenda on other countries.
