Gay Muslims Defend Their Identity in the U.S.

"Muslim men are the biggest pack of butt boys on the planet."

Case in point: The multitudes of makeup-wearing Afghans that came out of the woodwork after the Taliban was driven out. I seem to remember stories about how they'd grope US and Brit soldiers as they patrolled the area.

According to many Arabs, women are for procreation and teenage boys are for fun,

What a fabulous culture!

"My dad would shoot me and then commit suicide," said Sadiq, a quiet, neatly dressed Palestinian who is attending college in the northeast United States.

Since he is still alive (his death would be on all the morning news shows) I have to assume his dad doesn't read the paper.

I was old of an old Arabic saying:

"A wife for sons, a boy for pleasure, but a melon for ecstasy"

!!

Hmmm... let's see... I want to make my life as complicated as possible... How do I do this?

First, I'll become a queer and rage against the straights

Second, I'll become a Muslim

And, to top it off, I'll claim to be a Palestinian, a person from a country that doesn't even exist.

Yeah, that'll be complicated enough!

at least they aren't claiming to be "gay." And I doubt they are.

If Sadiq's father knew his 19-year-old son was gay, he would kill his son and then himself, Sadiq believes.

Quick, someone call and inform his father ;-)

"...but a melon for ecstasy"

And then for dessert, I'm sure. This does not serve to enhance my opinion of Allah's people.

Is that "poodle boy" on the car roof?

Hey American Psychological Association! Homos really are mentally ill!

"Yes, you are a deserter, but from which army?"

Didn't some Imam in Pakistan claim that Johnny Taliban was his boy toy?

Didn't some Imam in Pakistan claim that Johnny Taliban was his boy toy?

I recall reading in The New York Post that a Pakistani businessman claimed to be Johnny Bin Laden's boyfriend and then it quoted a clergyman saying, "he loved you, but he loved me better." Sniff.

I don't recall that story in particular, but it is normal in the Islamic World for young men to indulge in homosexual activity, though they still are expected to marry. Even married men continue, though. It's a reflection of the fact that women are completely segregrated from men and are despised.

I wonder what kind of pornography is more popular in the Middle East -- featuring women or boys?
