Nobleman is a really really stubborn guy maskaxdiisu way qafulantahay.

Seriously i'm not. I just like to see proof that is all. Surley you dont expect me to take an article about some medievil afghani practice and some shia propaganda video about saudis and then agree with you guys that prohibting free mixing is bad or leads to homosexuality. How dumb would that make me, especially when quran, hadith and scholary opinion suggest that segregation is better than free mixing.

Here is the source http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/1874471.stm. I wouldnt make up such a sad story. Its not about homosexuality but it is illustrative of what can come out of extreme policies ie abnormal behavior.

The article is quite accurate...
you would be naive to assume that there is less hommosexualy in muslim countries than the west.
This is sitiuational homosexuality like prison, out of all these prison inmates fokin each other only a small percentage really are gay
the rest revert to normal heterosexual relation as soon as they are released.

Its the same here in this case, for the pushtuns and Saudis.

there is a small difference however, the Saudis do not have a homosexual culture, their case is purley due to the situations created
and the prevaling sexualization of sattelite television and the internet.
The afghanis and the pushtuns in particular have an ancient homosexual culture, they have always been a source of ghulamiyat poems
from the 13th century onwards. The have maintained the ancient dorian greek practice of giving away young boys to older men for education and ofcourse sexual relations. This probably comes from the period of greek states after alexanders empire and the daidochi and before the rise of mayura empire.


The extreme practice of sexual segregation along with sattelite televison and the internet creates a highly sexualy charged atomesphere that will lead to this situation.


the solution is not free mixing of sexes like the west that creates overall immorality, nor is it extreme segregation like saudia that creates sexual fiends. The solution is moderation the natural mixing of sexes ,
the encouragement and easing of early marriage.
This is the only thing that will work.

for those who think that saudia's practice is perfect and advocate it, please go to saudia.
go around and look, it it not that deeply hidden, just ask around and pretend to be interested in gay sex.
you will discover nearly everyone around you is doing it.

i wouldnt be surprised if you entire office block is into it.

just keeps your eyes open and dont be naive..
Thanks Gurey, James dahl and few others always manage keep what its otherwise mundane and half-brained faqash forum somewhat educational.

Why are you thanking him for this shower of speculative (It’s cultural in Afghanistan but situational in Saudi) nonsense? It is as good as me saying that all Saudi women are beautiful and go on to prove this preposterous argument of mine by asking “Why else do you think their men lock them away?” :mrgreen:

Paddington.. if you disagree with my theory
please explain why..

this khanis culture did not exist in the najd and hejaz just parts of yemen.
it spread for many reasons, one of them is the extreme practise of sexual segregation.

this phenomena has been in afghanistan for centuries and its pre-islamic khaniss practices are well documented.
you can search for them yourself.

historically its also in parts of Iran, Turkey and Albania.

I can't agree or disagree with you when all you do is assert something and expect us to believe it without an iota of evidence. Hence why I gave you the example of the covered women. You say it was not found in Hijaz or Najd but you never tell us how you knew that fact. You say it spread because of segregation but you don't explain what took place before segregation (if any) and at what point did men and women stop mixing freely. It is a bunch of flowery drivel, my friend.

Do Saudis have gays? Yes they do. I saw them with my own eyes. Does the Arab world have gays? Yes they do. Do Afghanis have gays? Of course. Is one form of homosexuality 'traditional' and the other 'situational'? Nope. Humbug. I am not convinced.

By the way, if you argue about Afghani poetry you must also realise that ARAB poetry has always (mostly) been done in a masculine way (i.e. when a man sings about the woman he loves he would refer to her as 'he' so that he does not get her in trouble with her family or soils her reputation. But then again, he could have been talking about a man all along). :mrgreen:

what arent you buying?
the traditional practices of certain pushtoon tribes are well documented. this PBS documentery did not make it up.
That these traditional practices are identical to ancient greek practices and that that part of the world was part of greek civilization for hundreds of years is no coincidense.

now since these traditions are absent from the hejaz and the nejd and du to the unusually high levels of homosexuality among saudis, it might be possible that this has a link to the unusually strict segregation of the sex's that they practice.

do you have any other explanation for saudis behaviour i would be interested.

thats just an attempt to whitewash these poems..
the arab world has them as well, poets like abu-nawas were famous for them.
and they are not about women, they are mostly about boys or ghulams rather.
thats why they are called ghulamiyat.

this is a cultural problem,

why is it difficult to find a whorehouse in Pakistan with women, while the place is full of ones with boys there are hundreds of them ???????

Newsflash anorexics! There are distinct affinities between homoism and violence. Throughout history the most violent cultures have always been the most homosexualised. Will anyone here dare say out loud what frequently happened to enemy subclan boys during the Mog demolition and at checkpoints in the early 90s? The Spartans,Greeks,Romans,Jews,Persians,Arabs,British and Nazis are the best examples.Its not purely a situational thing but party of the true nature of homo behaviour which is actually the domination of another man by sexual means-these homo cultures managed to subordinate their psychosexual pathologies to higher political aims via the glorification of war and militarism ending up with huge territories and empires.(Btw,look at the queer proclivities of American likud senators,aka Republicans!)
Eg,the Nazi party was actually formed in a homo bar!! Yes, its true.
http://www.thepinkswastika.com/5294/index.html
In this atmosphere the purposeful stride of Captain Ernst Roehm seemed out of place. But Roehm was accustomed to being different. A homosexual with a taste for boys, Roehm was part of a growing subculture in Germany which fancied itself a superior form of German manhood. A large, heavy man, Roehm had been a professional soldier since 1906, and, after the war, had temporarily lent his talents to a socialist terror organization called the Iron Fist. On this night Roehm was on his way to meet some associates who had formed a much more powerful socialist organization.
At the door of the Bratwurstgloeckl, a tavern frequented by homosexual roughnecks and bully-boys, Roehm turned in and joined the handful of sexual deviants and occultists who were celebrating the success of a new campaign of terror. Their organization, once known as the German Worker’s Party, was now called the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, The National Socialist German Worker’s Party — the Nazis.

Yes, the Nazis met in a “gay” bar.
Its a vital read for everyone. Of course,the MSM ,AlJazeera,BBC et al would never reveal this info.

Hello again.

I am still stuck on the segregation point in Hejaz and Najd. Like I asked you earlier, was there ever a point when they did not have segregation? If such a time existed and you can historically prove it, I suppose we might begin to entertain the idea of situational homosexuality or that Saudis did not have a culture of homosexuality. If segregation was always there then, by your logic at least, homosexuality must have always been there too! This would mean that there really is no difference between Afghani and Saudi traditions of homosexuality, wouldn’t you agree?

Equally, I can also say that Saudis always had a tradition of homosexuality and that only the advent of mass communication is what brought it out in the open nowadays. I can also argue that the definition of a homosexual in the East greatly differs to that in the West. In other words, Saudis (and others) do not regard the dominant partner in a homosexual relationship as being gay, only the submissive one is. However, I will happily understand if you reject my argument as being anecdotal and full of supposition.

P.S.
You can’t find a whorehouse in Pakistan? You must have gone to a Taliban controlled area. I can provide you with a couple of Mujra videos (for artistic reasons of course) if you like. :mrgreen:

i was not talking about segregation, but the practice of extreme segregation.
this is a new practice and its mostly an urban phenomena.

there is a marked difference between the life of a bedu women who lives in the small towns and those who live in cities like Riyadh and Dahran.
The segregation of the sexes is not as extreme, the women more visible and assertive than thier sisters in the urban landscape.
Infact their lifestyle is not so different from thier nieghbours or even somalia.
