If you remind me, Muslim Culture probably borrowed a great deal of the pederastry from the Greeks. The Middle East was, after all, responsible for transcribing a great deal of ancient Greek literature down during the Mideval Time Periods.

In History, Sparta and Athens were the most notorious of the city states for male supremacy and pederastry combined. Not to say that the other Greek city-states weren’t that way, but these two have the most obvious references to it in their historical records. In Sparta, there was an extensive degree to which pederastry was played out. It was the key relationship of male lovers through which a man instructed a boy in the military service. Athens was a similar way, except this was primarily for the nobility to instruct in philosophy and the arts.

Seeing the way the Greeks were toward women, I would not be surprised if the case with Muslims were a similar one, however, it is also notorious that Muslims are harsh in numerous cases (tens of thousands) in putting open, blatant homosexuals to death (i.e. those similar to gay pride here in America and Europe) through brutal and harsh methods. The Koran itself prescribes death by stoning in public for homosexuals caught in the act by sufficient witnesses.

Tens of thousands? Never read anything like that.

Moslem “culture” may have been influenced by Greeks but also has the natural roots of barbaric Arab tribal customs. Treatment of women in ancient Greece and Rome does not compare in any way to Muslim treatment of women.

Additionally, the pederasty in much of Middle Eastern Moslem “culture” is pretty open. There have been threads on FR not long ago about the boy dancers in Afghanistan, plus many reports of people who have worked and served there. It’s open. And as nasty as anyone could ever imagine.
