[SIZE=4]ANCIENT AND “UN-ISLAMIC” CUSTOM[/SIZE]
Bacha bazi, or boy play, is an ancient custom that goes back centuries and possibly thousands of years in Afghanistan. It was banned under the Taliban regime but has been revived, particularly in northern regions, since the Taliban’s demise and attendant increase in certain freedoms. The practice has been brought to light by several international news agencies and has been condemned by Islamic scholars as un-Islamic and as a form of sexual slavery by the United Nations Under-Secretary-General, Radhika Coomaraswamy.
In this deplorable custom, powerful men take poor and vulnerable boys into their “protection”. They promise to train them or give them work and prepare them for a better life. In reality, the boys are taken into a form of sexual slavery from which they have no escape. Their “masters” teach the boys to entertain their personal and business friends by dressing in women’s clothing and dancing seductively in front of all-male audiences.
Masters also compete among each other for prestige and social rank for having the best boys. At the end of the evening the boys are often shared for sexual favours or bought and sold among masters and such events often end in assault and rape. Boys have been killed as a result of disputes between the masters or for attempting to escape.
There is no way around the conclusion that this practice is slavery and abuse. The boys taken into this life are young teens and children as young as 11 and younger. They are poor and vulnerable, often orphans or street-children or from poor or abusive families, and are lured under false pretences. They are sometimes even sold into this life by family or relatives who either do not know or simply feel they have no choice because they have nothing better to offer.
Shit, some things zilizo kuwa zina happen in the ancient civilisations zilikuwa umeffi. By the way, this thing used to happen all over, ancient Greece, Roman empire, Egypt, the kingdoms that existed in Rwanda and Uganda, Mimi hushukuru kuzaliwa in this age.
Hapa Mombasa iko. Practiced by the wealthy Arabs. Huwa wanaitwa mabasha. But due to the intolerance of the general public inafanywa chini ya maji! There were rumors that Balala is a basha!
It’s such acts that people generalize Islam to be queer though these are not my views. I strongly believe that young kids have a choice of their own to make and deserve protection from their elders. How does a grown ass man feel pumping a young boy? Do these men have kids? Are there no desirable damsel in their vicinity? I can not come to terms with this act coz am a dad to a son and I can never allow such a thing to happen to him or even to his friends. This is just wrong.
Islam is a religion of many contradictions. This guy Omar Mateen self righteously guns down 49 gays in a club because of his religious views yet there’s plenty of homosexuality and pedophilia right in his backyard.
[SIZE=5]Me thinks that chap was fighting his own homosexuality. Plus this thing about Islam separating the sexes leads to such behaviours google shows the depth of their depravity , Islam countries lead in homo and bestiality searches ! [/SIZE]
