I don't speak Arabic -- though I recently ordered the beginner module from Rosetta Stone which still sits in its wrapper on my desk shelf. (I am in the Arab world a lot however and learning more each trip) Perhaps after the conventions.
But a friend, Foued Mokrani, speaks Arabic just fine -- and reported on his Facebook page the following after watching a film during a flight to Paris:
I watched the movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and noticed they translate the word ''gay" to ''pervert" in the Arabic subtitles!! Very dumb.
Mokrani responded:
Somehow there is no decent word to say homosexual in Arabic. . .They started recently using a word for it but still very unfamiliar one.
In Arabic, there is no exact word to say "homosexual." People use bad words like faggot, pervert, or just use the sentence "liking people from same sex." Recently, a few people started using the word "mithli" modifying the word for "sex" -- meaning "same as me".
What they used in the movie is "pervert" to translate the word gay -- or "cheth" in Arabic.
Other commenters on the Mokrani thread wrote that Arabic also tends to describe gays as deviants -- using words like "munharif" and "shadh."

Sodomites.
Nah, quite probably the only thing I agree with the islamo-nazis on.
Hmmmmm.... let’s see.... how about “the atlantic”......?
Jordan Petersen said: “Feminists Don’t Criticize Islam Because They Unconsciously Want Male Dominance.”
If I didn’t know better, after seeing the documentary on him, I suspect he said that just to make their hair catch fire!
This is more of the same. The Soy Boy Effeminate Leftists seem all in on Islam, they don’t understand they would be among the first targets of Islam.
Seems OK to me.
However, you can put libs in a real bind by wearing a shirt saying, “Islam is right about women.” Or in this case, “Islam is right about homosexuals.”
But the Atlantic will cry "cultural imperialism" if I tell Muslims they need to quit killing people because of their religion.
“Gay” doesn’t even mean homosexual. It means happy. But they appropriated that word because it describes something they are not: emotionally healthy.
Give the Arabs credit...at least they got *one* thing right.
To the author: Good luck with your plan to tell the muslims how to conduct their religion.
how about “prancing sphincter boy”?
They will have their tallywhackers chopped off and placed in whore houses.
The mohammedans are perfectly ok with men having sex with men, women, children, animals and rocks as long as the male mohammedan is having all the fun and no one else is.
“Feminists Don’t Criticize Islam Because They Unconsciously Want Male Dominance.”
I like Jordan Peterson well enough (I’ve listened to both his books) but I don’t think he’s right about this. Feminists don’t criticize Islam because either a. they are leftist idiots, or b. they are afraid of getting their heads chopped off. I don’t think there’s any deep psychology involved.
Now, they may like Romanance novels or movies because they crave male dominance, that I would believe.
I keep hearing “Diversity is our Strength” at work and everywhere else. We can’t be judgmental of different cultures.
So call them unhappy.
Maybe harram.

Yeah, seems like saying the Arabic equivalent for ‘person from sodom’ would work fine. I guess there is actually a ‘Sedom’ in Israel, but it’s an industrial complex next to the dead sea.

ROFL
I’m with the Arab Moslems on this one. I like the words.
Go ahead and try to change Moslem words, chief.
