Just found out about Man Love Thursday today from a soldier in my husbands unit that is currently deployed to Afghanland. So my question is why Thursday’s?! And if they can’t love another man just sleep with them why’s it called Man Love Thursday?! Lol

Heather, you need to lay off the redbull 4 locos. Step back and read the posting. Where does it say that I support this or condone it?

So they’ve been “doing it for thousands of years” does that make it right? Obviously, you are a relativist, and good is relative to you. I suppose a relativist like you wouldn’t mind if you were raped; it was good for the rapist. Good, bad, these concepts are meaningless until “bad” happens to you.
I’ve read the Bible. I don’t recall seeing that verse. Please quote for me. I do know the Quran 18:65-81 lays the foundation for honor killing.
Maybe you crave hot monkey sex like your nearest relative, but don’t speak for the rest of us. Besides, it is NO excuse for child prostitution, or rape. Seriously reconsider defending this abomination. It should not be tolerated EVER regardless of the religious beliefs of anyone. If you are a muslim, this is not a subject that should encourage solidarity.

they’ve been doing it that way there for thousands of years – for them it is normal

in many other places around the world they marry off girls as young as 9,10, 11 or 12 and expect them to have sex and make babies

just because someone may have been indoctrinated into a particular set of “moral” beliefs based upon the religion they’ve been indoctrinated into doesn’t give them the right to judge others

the human body is capable of sex from very early on – from puberty onward it desires it … our nearest relative in the animal kindgom – the bonobo – uses sex as a tension-release mechanism to keep their society functioning and cohesive

as for the religious contradictions – “Islam says it’s wrong” “but only to ‘love’” blah blah, the Bible also says you can kill your children if they disrespect you – care to apply that one?

I think this type of thing happens in western society as well.
Some men enjoy a little “Man to Man Action” but feel they are not homosexual. They dont love men or act effeminite, it’s just that sometimes they take what’s available. This happens a lot with men at war and in prison.

On the other hand I certainly see your point about it’s pervasivness and acceptence in Afghanistan among the Pashtuns as being bizarre considering their religious beliefs.

And I certainly condemn the underage sex going on over there.
