To the Left, gay bashing is alright as long as you aren't white or Christian.

[Joe 6-pack]

"Liberals do not want to accept the fact that under Islam, homosexuality is totally banned."

If Hitler had never risen to national power in Germany and pure-form Nazism lingered today as a small regional party, today's liberals would be urging us to try and be more understanding of the cultural and historical context of their *differences* with the Jewish people.

I'm surprised they didn't get the death penalty. I saw a documentary on some channel (maybe discover) and they talked to Gay Muslims as well as Gay Jews. Both believe that they WILL go to HELL no matter what they do now, but they continue to live that lifestyle knowing that for eternity they will be in Hell. Mind boggling????

One of the most closely held secrets in the Mooslem world is the amount of AIDS spreading very rapidly there....very dangerous levels and not much that govts there are doing about it.

bttt

[pahpaw]

I'm sorry but that IS funny. They are so touchy feely with holding each other's hands, hugging and kissing hellow and goodbye.

It's due to their sexually repressive society where they cannot touch women until marriage or "supposedly" after they blow themselves up for the 70 virgins. Which I have heard many Muslim leaders state that is not even in their Koran. What do the female homocide bombers get (besides their family's getting money?)

[Cornpone]

Read this and you will understand why. Because of the dysfunctional concept of love, marriage and family in the mooslimb world a minimum of 25 percent of males are considered practicing homosexuals. Mernissi, Fatima, Beyond the Veil, Indianapolis, IN: Indiana University Press, 1987.

Our troops are fighting for the right for people to live as they want, as long as they grant the same right to others. Or am I missing something subtle and ironic from the headline of the post?

[Alter Kaker]

And as usual, State is choosing the wrong position.

You think consensual adult sex should be a felony punisheable by a long prison sentence?

[SauronOfMordor]

With not enough women to go around (the wealthy get multiple wives, the lower class men get none), Muslim society starts to look very much like a prison culture

No, just forms which present a public health threat.

I had a muslim neighbor who rented an apartment across the street. He and I would talk about stuff and one of the topics was this business about polygamy. His take on it was that with all the wars and whatnot the muslims were involved in, many of the men were dying, leaving widows for the few remaining men. So that the widows could be taken care of, men were allowed to marry more than one woman if he could afford to support her. Also, this would allow the widow to have more children, to replace those killed.

It is not only in islamic societies that this view prevailed, it makes perfect sense.

Because we have a large population that replaces itself easily, and lots of wealth, comparitively, we view such arrangements as primitive and indulgent, as we promote monogamy. Apart from the indulgences practiced by muslim men who could get away with it, polygamy probably wasn't considered primitive and indulgent for most muslims in past centuries. It was necessary for survival of individuals and the state.

In other words, you find these convictions and sentences appropriate.

What about forced hormone treatment, if the reports are correct? You're fine with that too?

[DesignerChick]

It only makes sense when you have women as chattel.

If women are treated as lower humans and not free to get jobs and educations then they will be dependent on men.

More Americans die each year by automobile accident than by any other cause. Think about what you are saying.

[Daniel Ramsey]

hmmm I wonder too about what the women get from Allah, 72 blown up men(pun intended)
do they get 72 "virgin" men?

72 lezzies?

one 72 year old male?

[attiladhun2]

That is because it is hard to get laid by a woman in many Islamic countries, but is is relatively easy to find male sex partners.

[chinche]

Sorry, that should have read more young Americans die by automobile accidents (between 5 and 33 years of age). Of course, diseases associated with old age will get most of us.

[BubbaTheRocketScientist]

More Americans die each year by automobile accident than by any other cause. Think about what you are saying.

Accidents and infectious disease are two entirely different things... think about what you're saying.

[Eagles6]

It is oficially banned but it is widespread. Everyone that I know who has been there says that it's probably more common than here.
