'Fiancee' actually a man - or why burka's are a bad idea.
News.com.au ^ | 12/26/2005 | News.com.au Staff

AN Egyptian man discovered on his wedding day that his fiancee of three years was a man who had been concealing his identity behind a veil.

The 26-year-old groom-to-be, Tamer Shehata, was notified by a female guest attending his wedding that his would-be wife was a man in women's clothing.

When Mr Shehata confronted his fiancee, he broke down and revealed that he was actually an 18-year-old man called Ahmed Abo Zeid.

Mr Abo Zeid confessed that he had tried several times to undergo a sex change but had failed to secure doctors' approval.

Mr Abo Zeid, whose face was obscured to Mr Shehata by a niqab or burka (face veil) said he had intended to tell after they were married, and had hoped to convince Mr Shehata to consummate the marriage.

Mr Abo Zeid was held for 45 days on charges of swindling and posing as a woman.

"NEVER BUY A PIG IN A POKE"!

Your culturally insensitive, politically incorrect remark should read,

Never poke a pig in a burka.

Caroline Cossey has Klinefelter's syndrome - born with XXY chromosome arrangement. Male is XY and female is XX. Not that this does NOT mean that XXY are "half and half" - but they share more similarites with women than normal (increased risk of breast cancer, pulmonary disease, varicose veins, and osteoporosis, risks shared with women). The prevalence is 1 in 1000 male (XXY have all the external male plumbing, though are usually infertile) births.

"Well I’m not the world’s most masculine man
But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man
And so is Abo
Ab ab ab abo. Ab ab ab ab abo."

I'm wondering where the parents were in all this--no one in Egypt gets married without the entire family being heavily involved. (In fact, an Egyptian friend told me that when he was courting his now wife, the girl's family always went along on dates.) Were they willing to let their son marry another guy, and just hope the groom didn't complain?

(the friendship ended when the guy made some insulting comments about my being Jewish. My husband hit him with fish and threw him across the bar. I guess you had to be there!)

I usually pelt antisemites with gefilte fish. Tell me your husband didn't waste good lox on the bum...

Actually it was a frozen 30lb. yellowfin tuna! My husband was bringing it to his friend who owned the restaurant when he ran into the stupid guy at the bar. I was proud of him because his 16 year old son was with him and it showed his son what a real man does when someone insults his girlfriend (at the time) and makes anti-semetic remarks.

Jerry Springer is pissed off that he missed the chance to have these people on his show.

Impossible. Both had too many teeth, spoke proper Arabic, did not live in a single-wide in a trailer park, were of the same race, and neither was over the required Springer-weight of 300 pounds.

Application denied.

We are surely on the same team, but, if you ever tasted a bit of wild pig, cooked slowly over Southern Red Maple coals, after a soak in sauces containing exotic seasonings, and just a touch of Datil pepper vinegar, oh, well!

Premarital sex would have solved this mystery.

"Wow, I wonder how many other homosexual relationships in Muslim societies are concealed by a burkha?"

There is a gay Muslim blog/web site somewhere. I can't recall the name. But apparently it's more common than people think.

There are some Sura and hadith that are appealing to gays. I guess the religion holds hope for pearly boys in the afterlife for them. Here's an example:

Qur’an 56:13 “A multitude of those from among the first, and a few from the latter, (will be) on couch-like thrones woven with gold and precious stones. Reclining, facing each other. Round about them will (serve) boys of perpetual (freshness), of never ending bloom, with goblets, jugs, and cups (filled) with sparkling wine.

Qur’an 76:5 “As for the righteous, they will drink a cup of wine from a spring, making it gush forth abundantly.” Qur’an 76:19 “And round them shall serve immortal boys of perpetual freshness, never altering in age. If you saw them, you would think they were scattered pearls.” Qur’an 76:21 “Upon them will be green garments of fine green silk and heavy gold brocade. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver; their Lord will slack their thirst with wine.”

Qur’an 52:21 “...Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young boy servants of their own (handsome) as well-guarded pearls. They will advance to each other, drawing near, engaging in mutual enquiry. They will say: ‘We used to be afraid (of the punishment) in the midst of our families, but Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the torment of the Scorching Wind and Breath of Fire.”

Those may sound inviting to gay's.

Brokeback Burka.

Bwaaa! Could have been worse. The guy might have married a goat posing as a woman in a burka.

If it had been a woman posing as a man, she would have been sentenced to death!

Kenny, cut the "single wide" crap, I live in one, so that my children and grandchildren can do more. Would you feel better if I was one of the people with no teeth, and over 300 pounds, living in one of your urban Massachusets ghettos?
I will tell you one thing, Kenny, I will put my single wide living existence up against anything you have.
This is MY yard, show me yours!
Hell, my kids live in doublewides, maybe the grandkids will live in triplewides, but I don't expect any of them to be able to stomach living in rowhouses, in BAHSTAN!
