The dancing boys of Afghanistan.......
More of those family values from the RoP. This time its rampant sexual abuse called "bacha bazi" or boy play. I watched the program after seeing it over at Debbie Schlussel this morning. I can't embed the video, so go to the PBS site and view the entire program. I'm telling you, this made me sick. I don't believe our military is fighting for this kind of Afghani "freedom"..........

Janice,
Yes this is awlful!
I thought homosexuality was prohibited in Islam? This is worse than I could have ever thought it to be.
I know Tsofah, it made me ill watching the program. And I'm sure it's far worse than what we were shown in the video.
Tsofah,
My understanding is that in Islam, they define homosexuality very narrowly. It's a man having sex with a man. A grown man. Since boys haven't hit puberty, they don't count as men, so they're fair game and sex with them is not against the religion.
I couldn't bring myself to watch the video.
Janice! I miss you. I hope all is well.
It's sad to see that you've become the spam capital for the People of the Boxy Alphabet.
Please check in once in a while, even if it's just to say that you're paddling as fast as you can and you're barely keeping your head above water, so you can't stay long and say much. Even that would go a long way.
Keeping you in prayer...
