Yes definitely. Its harem or forbidden.
Valentine’s Day sinful, says Aceh Islamist

JAKARTA: Celebrating Valentine’s Day is sinful and forbidden for Muslims, an Indonesian Islamic leader warned yesterday.
“This celebration comes from another religion and has no legal basis in the Islamic Sharia law,” said Muslim Ibrahim, who is chairman of the highest authority on Islamic affairs in Aceh province.
“Therefore, taking part in celebrating the day of love is haram (forbidden) for Muslims,” Ibrahim told the state Antara news agency.
St Valentine’s Day is named after a Christian martyr and over the years has become the day on which lovers traditionally express their feelings for each other. Ibrahim said Valentine’s Day went against Islamic teachings and values and was used to overly express love to someone of the opposite sex.
“I hope that the young generation can be proud of our regional culture, which abounds with Islamic values, and can maintain their identity,” Ibrahim

For some it is. But they are missing the point. St. Valentines day does not celebrate St. Valentine he was also involved with the plague and other unpleasant things. He is Roman Catholic and yet we celebrate him in Orthodox countries. Well not him and that's my point but as a day for lovers. Like mothers day and such. No religion involved. It's a cute and gentle celebration that has nothing to do with religion which frowns on lovers and considers them sinners to burn in eternal hell-unless you are married of course.

Not sure. Some say it is a sin. Muslims try to avoid celebrating it. Maybe because it is a pagan festival.

Despite its historic roots nowadays it is a secular occasion for people to celebrate their love. I don't think that is a problem for people of any faith. Although my thoughts are not official for any Muslim.
