I've lived in Libya, other FReepers have some experience in other ME Countries. There is a lot of homosexuality in Arab culture. Arab culture preceded the Qu'ran. It is a very complex issue and certainly is related to the mixed message that Arab men get about women. Google and you'll also find a wealth of articles on this issue. It has nothing to do with terrorism, but a lot to do with the isolating of men from women that occurs in in Arab culture.

I've never even visited the Middle East, so all I know is what I've read from other visitors.
