Boys are being raped all over the place in Afghanistan!

[Kuya]

Western forces fighting in southern Afghanistan had a problem. Too often, soldiers on patrol passed an older man walking hand-in-hand with a pretty young boy. Their behavior suggested he was not the boy's father. Then, British soldiers found that young Afghan men were actually trying to "touch and fondle them," military investigator AnnaMaria Cardinalli told me. "The soldiers didn't understand."

All of this was so disconcerting that the Defense Department hired Cardinalli, a social scientist, to examine this mystery. Her report, "Pashtun Sexuality," startled not even one Afghan. But Western forces were shocked - and repulsed.

For centuries, Afghan men have taken boys, roughly 9 to 15 years old, as lovers. Some research suggests that half the Pashtun tribal members in Kandahar and other southern towns are bacha baz, the term for an older man with a boy lover. Literally it means "boy player." The men like to boast about it.

"Having a boy has become a custom for us," Enayatullah, a 42-year-old in Baghlan province, told a Reuters reporter. "Whoever wants to show off should have a boy."

As for Karzai, an American who worked in and around his palace in an official capacity for many months told me that homosexual behavior "was rampant" among "soldiers and guys on the security detail. They talked about boys all the time."

He added, "I didn't see Karzai with anyone. He was in his palace most of the time." He, too, declined to be identified.

In Kandahar, population about 500,000, and other towns, dance parties are a popular, often weekly, pastime. Young boys dress up as girls, wearing makeup and bells on their feet, and dance for a dozen or more leering middle-aged men who throw money at them and then take them home. A recent State Department report called "dancing boys" a "widespread, culturally sanctioned form of male rape."

So, why are American and NATO forces fighting and dying to defend tens of thousands of proud pedophiles, certainly more per capita than any other place on Earth? And how did Afghanistan become the pedophilia capital of Asia?

Sociologists and anthropologists say the problem results from perverse interpretation of Islamic law. Women are simply unapproachable. Afghan men cannot talk to an unrelated woman until after proposing marriage. Before then, they can't even look at a woman, except perhaps her feet. Otherwise she is covered, head to ankle.

"How can you fall in love if you can't see her face," 29-year-old Mohammed Daud told reporters. "We can see the boys, so we can tell which are beautiful."

Even after marriage, many men keep their boys, suggesting a loveless life at home. A favored Afghan expression goes: "Women are for children, boys are for pleasure." Fundamentalist imams, exaggerating a biblical passage on menstruation, teach that women are "unclean" and therefore distasteful. One married man even asked Cardinalli's team "how his wife could become pregnant," her report said. When that was explained, he "reacted with disgust" and asked, "How could one feel desire to be with a woman, who God has made unclean?"

That helps explain why women are hidden away - and stoned to death if they are perceived to have misbehaved. Islamic law also forbids homosexuality. But the pedophiles explain that away. It's not homosexuality, they aver, because they aren't in love with their boys.

But what about the boys, thousands upon thousands of little boys who are victims of serial rape over many years, destroying their lives - and Afghan society.

"There's no issue more horrifying and more deserving of our attention than this," Cardinalli said. "I'm continually haunted by what I saw."

As one boy, in tow of a man he called "my lord," told the Reuters reporter: "Once I grow up, I will be an owner, and I will have my own boys."

So we're wasting our time trying to build this people a society? Not only do they hate women, but they also rape young boys. This is a result of religion that degrades women to the point that they won't even get near them. It is also a result of religion producing closeted homosexuals who rape boys. If these homosexuals were out and in the open, they could have open and healthy gay relationships with adults like those in the West. This is what religion does, it turns homosexuals into disgusting pedophiles.

It is likely that the article exaggerates and makes it sound like most men rape boys there, but it's likely only the closeted homosexuals, since real straight men would never be able to get it up or enjoy sex with another man. So the real straight men have to probably have sex with women in hiding.

Actually, maybe this is why we need to westernize these people, in order to stop the mistreatment of women and little boys. That way, proper and natural heterosexual and homosexual lifestyles can develop. That way we don't have this disgusting display of older men having sex with 15 year olds. At the very least, they should be having sex with 15 year old girls rather than boys (the ones who are straight, i mean).

Maybe with proper secularization and the desegragation of the sexes that goes with it, we can end this stupid practice of men having sex with men rather than women, especially boys, which is even more barbaric (though again, i think most of these men are probably really homosexuals, and it's probably nowhere near half, since that it just absurd).

As if that hasn't been said since Grecian times and earlier.

Because raping 15 year old girls is so much better.

I assume you're straight, so, if you're gonna be raping something, i hope it's a girl.

I've heard stories of a man boy night that occurs weekly in Iraq.

Rape isn't about sexual fulfillment, its about power.

[Gadritan]

Yeah, I'd heard about a lot of this shit already from my military buddies. I'm surprised our media didn't jump on it earlier.

[AidenCarby]

Hope they're nice enough to give reach arounds. :\

Something's gotta give.

(there's probably plenty of rape to go around, but a lot of it is probably not forceful and is rape in our western standard of "statutory". sometimes an afghan just gotta get his dick wet...or poopy or sand-chapped or whateverthefuck happens when you're fucking 12-year old boy ass in the desert without lube)

[Gadritan]

Having power over someone is pleasure for said people. In other news, 2+2 = Rodgers.

[Atreides]

let just glass em bro

[toqabowl]

That's what they get for being little boys in a warzone.

[Khajit]

and a goat for ecstasy?

Rape isn't about sexual fulfillment, its about power.

In that case, if there's no pleasure involved, then it might make sense if straight men are involved.

It's probably pleasure for gays in afghanistan, and about power for straight guys (if they even do it).

ya this is old news to me. My brothers girlfriend said its like the number one thing they deal with when they patrol. It is really odd that its not all over the news.

[archibaldcrane]

Kuya, you are on a mission to destroy all notion of sexual orientation, aren't you?

Support the troops, etc.
