Paedophilia 'culturally accepted in south Afghanistan' British forces were advised by a military study that paedophilia is widespread and culturally accepted in southern Afghanistan.

British officers in Helmand requested the study to help them understand the sexual behaviour of locals and Afghan comrades after young soldiers became uneasy they were being propositioned.
American social scientists employed to help troops understand the local culture reported that homosexual sex was widespread among the Pashtun ethnic group in southern Afghanistan.
Strict separation of men and women, coupled with poverty and the significant expense of getting married, contributed to young men turning to each other for sexual companionship.
"To dismiss the existence of this dynamic out of desire to avoid western discomfort is to risk failing to comprehend an essential social force underlying Pashtun culture," the report said.

Richard Burton, the soldier and explorer from the 1800s, went disguised to a brothel and observed Afghan men having sex with little boys. It has been known forever.
Maybe San Francisco should be renamed Kabul.
Stupid argument. There have been and are lots of societies where these factors apply. None of them, to my knowledge, have anything like the same incidence of pederasty.
Britain will now extend social benefits to Afghani immigrants who claim the added burden of having additional children to molest.

Same in da Nederlands.
That is pretty stunning. That Afghan men have sex with young boys is very, very, very old news. As in, something the British Empire encountered when they were in Afghanistan 150 years ago. That British officers need a study of this says volumes about how far the British are from their empire days. And how far they are from the days of that famous story that goes something like:
In the 1800s, a British officer stopped a family from throwing the wife of an Indian man on his funneral pyre. The family protested, stating that was their custom. The British officer replied, "That may be your custom but its our custom to hang chaps who do things like this."
LOL. I was posting at the same time you were and thought of the same story.
That tidbit of history fits so well, eh?
They should teach abstinence in schools over there.
John Masters: ‘Bugles and a Tiger, an autobiography published in 1956.
“Lawrence noted the tendency of the Arabs to homosexuality. It was the same among the Pathans. ‘A woman for business, a boy for pleasure, a goat for choice’ is an old Pathan proverb, and one of the most famous of Pathan songs, the ‘Zakhmi Dil’ (’Wounded Heart’) begins with the words, ‘There’s a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach, but, alas, I cannot swim.’ I do not know why homosexuality should affect various peoples so differently, but there was something startlingly incongruous about the idea when associated with these fierce men, physically the hardest people on earth - they use sharp stones for toilet paper - and with the vast, grim jaggedness in which they live. A Pathan walks with the grace of a man-eating tiger, in long and unhurried strides, with a lift to them. He carries his head insolently up and his shoulders carelessly back, but without any stiffness as from drilling. Pathans often have pale-blue eyes, untamed and a little terrifying, and the young men’s eyes are rimmed with kohl. Gritty dirt is ingrained in their skin, and soles of their feet are like cracked leather. They often wear roses in their long hair, and I frequently wish I could see a Pathan entering a gay cocktail party given by Manhattan fairies.”
So, in short, our troops are shedding blood for muslim perverts to ply their debauchery in Afghanistan.
My God, I wish we’d let... no, HELPED the Soviets destroy them in the late ‘70s.
Now THAT is multiculturalism in action!!!!!!
Maybe we should take out the entire Pashtun (Pathan) tribe, esp. since they’re the biggest supporters of the Taliban...
I guess they’ll get along quite swimmingly with “0bama’s Own” (i.e., America’s newly minted “diverse” military), eh?
I only wish that was the attitude today. PC has destroyed all sense of what is morally right.
I think we’re getting to the core (or at least one of them) as to why muslims are so ****ed up.
Sexuality of muslim men (this is from first hand observations):
1. “Men and boys are for pleasure and women are for (male) babies.”
2. It is not homosexual activity if you are the “pitcher” or the one “penetrating.”
3. Non-muslim women are all whores and prostitutes
4. Sex with non-muslim women doesn’t count (as cheating) because they are infidels
5. If a muslim women is raped, it is her fault (she should have fought back harder)
6. It is OK to marry 13 year olds and have up to 4 wives. It is OK to divorce a wife once she gets too old and add a younger bride to your “stable”
7. It is OK to “marry” a muslim woman, have sex with her and them divorce her - it is called a “pleasure marriage” or temporary marriage (or sigha). The local Mullah gets a cut of the cost of the marriage. He actually is the pimp.
This is their mindset. The quicker you understand this the better you will comprehend their bizarre behavior...
Here’s the “allah” loophole:
Qur’an 24:34 “Force not your slave-girls to whoredom (prostitution) if they desire chastity, that you may seek enjoyment of this life. But if anyone forces them, then after such compulsion, Allah is oft-forgiving.”
Owning females slaves is ok, and forcing them into prostitution is ok. Besides, having sex with a slave is always ok.
Tabari IX:113 “Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.”
And they claim the Western World is morally bankrupt? Up to 4 wives each, plus unlimited concubines, and the occasional sex slave...who needs the internet?
The Parthians had a song and so did the Stanglers “Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches....”. Yeah, but women....!!!!
