Another Example of Backwards Islamic ‘Culture’
Written By : Warner Todd Huston

U.S. troops in Afghanistan are having a hard time understanding what is a strange Afghan cultural practice to them. The practice can be summed up in the ages old Afghan phrase, “women are for children, boys are for pleasure.”

Yes, that phrase means what you think it means. It has been well known for a long time that some parts of Afghanistan have an odd sexual practice ensconced in its culture. Men have sex for pleasure with boys often eschewing women. Sometimes these men even claim to be disgusted by the idea of sex for pleasure with a woman. Yet none of these Afghani men think of themselves as homosexual because they don’t “love” their male sex partners. They just love the sex.

This fact had become well known by Americans back in the 1980s when we were assisting the Mujahadeen to fight the Soviets. CIA operatives, social psychologists and cultural experts working with the government and Army personnel learned this strange habit long ago. But now that we are back in force in Afghanistan we are encountering this practice again and it is causing no end of confusion for U.S. forces — especially medical personnel.

According to Fox News, American doctors are trying to teach Afghani men that they are getting sexually transmitted diseases from the anal sex they are having with each other. The docs are telling these men that they must stop the practice.

The problem is, though, that these Afghani men refuse to take the doctor’s advice because they say it is their cultural practice. In fact, they say that the Koran tells them to do this.

The Fox report includes this statement by an Afghani that surely reflects his cultural bias on the issue. The report mentions that the U.S. medical personnel was trying to tell these men that sex with women will keep them from getting these diseases. The Fox News report said, “when it was explained to him what was necessary, he reacted with disgust and asked, ‘How could one feel desire to be with a woman, who God has made unclean, when one could be with a man, who is clean? Surely this must be wrong.’”

So why do I peg this to a backwards Islamic practice? Because the problem here isn’t just a weird interpretation of Islam isolated in one small corner of the earth it is Islam itself that is the problem.

Certainly we don’t necessarily see this homosexual practice in every Islamic culture, though it does exist in larger numbers than one might think. But the root of the problem is wrapped up in what the Afghani man above said about women. “They are unclean,” he told the U.S. doctors. This idea that women are “unclean” is ubiquitous throughout the religion.

This disgusting devaluing of women doesn’t just happen in Afghanistan, though it seems to be especially virulent there. This devaluing of women is rampant throughout the Islamic world. Islam hates its women. Islam beats its women. Islam rapes its women. Islam murders its women. From every corner of the earth Islam is anti-female.

So, it is no surprise that in at least one Islamic culture even having sex with women makes Islamic men sick.

For Islam to come from the 13th century into the 21st Century it must learn to treat its women with respect.

    Which is in and of itself specifically forbidden by islam. So I won’t count on them joining the 18th century any time soon.

    Much as it is in Christian religions, though not in the teachings of the Christ.

    So let me make sure I have this…
    (1)You make a claim about Christianity and women that is a baldface LIE!
    (2)I ask you for proof.
    (3)You provide a link to a page on religious tolerance and women that does not prove what you claimed.
    (4)I call you on your duplicity.
    (5)You claim that I am “afraid of the truth”.

    That pretty much says it all, RP. You are dismissed.

    Here’s a start.

    What’s really funny is that the only actual Bible quote on the page (that I saw) was “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Huh. So much for your “Christianity is anti-women” lie.

    Lets recap.

    You claim that “This idea that women are “unclean” is ubiquitous throughout the religion(Islam). Much as it is in Christian religions,

    I asked for proof.

    You provided a webpage that contained NOTHING even approaching what you claimed.

    I am STILL waiting on your proof. Until then, we’ll just add it to the growing lies of RP.

    This shows how little you know about the teachings of the Christ. And the tenets espoused by so many ‘Christian’ religions.

    And – as I am curious about this – do you think anyone believes you when you claim someone has failed? And are your childish insults ever effective?

    Well, if it was so obvious, there was no need to make the point. So, it was not obvious – just empty by your own standards (low though they be).

    Now, there is no dodging going on by me. You make statements which are not true (seems to be a theme here this afternoon).

    Stan,

    The link referred by Reallunatik uses “CE” (Common Era) instead of “AD” (Anno Domini or “The Year of our Lord”). This is a common trait used among intolerant groups to remove any reference to Jesus in our culture. Why follow the examples of a group of people that want any reference of our Lord removed?

    The fact that RealDumbass refers to this site shows his hatred of Christianity. Of course, he’ll try to encourage a direct response from me but I’ve disproven his lies so many times in the past.

    You won the argument.

  • http://networdblog.blogspot.com/ Christopher_Taylor

    The CE/BCE thing is retarded anyway. What happened at that time in history to be before/current? Why, that was when Jesus was active on earth and died. You still haven’t gotten away from Our Lord, you’ve just changed the name out of fear and stupidity.

  • RKae

    Islam Shmislam! This is not a religion thing. It’s a human thing. Humans (many of them; so many of them that it would sicken you to know the full count) love the feeling of a lopsided power dynamic. They love molesting children for the thrill of being overbearing and frightening. And…

    (Here’s the most important thing to know!)

    …they will do it with or without religion! No matter WHAT system of cultural governance you have in place, child rapists will rationalize their ghastly actions. You think if you get rid of religion you can get rid of child rape? (Likewise, you think if you get rid of religion you can get rid of mysoginy?)

    Good God! That’s stupid!

    Religion was created by people, so they created it to facilitate their needs. Put them in a secular or atheistic setting and the child rapists will still say, “You knooooooow… here’s a reasonable explanation why I should be able to mess with kids…” And they’re off to the races with their rationalization. (Pedos are currently in the psychiactric profession working on the idea that “society needs to get over its fear of adult-child sex.” Look into it. It’s happening. They did it for homosexuality and it worked; they’re doing it for pedos now. Cultural acceptance is on the way, and through totally secular, “scientific” discourse!)

    Child rapists will speak whatever the language of the day is. Anyone who fails to see this is in for a sick surprise.
