Comments on: Why Queers for Palestine are on the wrong side http://www.yourish.com/2007/03/28/2934 Cutting straight to the point Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:03:40 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Michael Lonie http://www.yourish.com/2007/03/28/2934/comment-page-1#comment-25499 Michael Lonie Fri, 30 Mar 2007 02:58:40 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/2007/03/28/2934#comment-25499 It's curious that Muslim states and religious scholars should be so savage towards homosexuals when Muslim cultures have always been such hotbeds of homosexuality (if you'll pardon the pun). The Pathans in Afghanistan, for example, are notoriously homosexual. One of their sayings is "A woman for business, a boy for pleasure, and a goat for choice." One of their songs begins "There's a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach, but alas I cannot swim." Yet the Taliban came out of the mix of Pathan society and Wahhabism.

Queers for Palestine, siding with a make-believe nation who whose members would have the queers dead and buried faster than you could grill a shawarma, over a nation among nations who accept them as they are. You can't make this shit up. It is truly amazing how deluded people can get.

We even had a gay MK a few years back, for heaven's sake. I suppose these people's Jew-hatred clouds their common sense.

As soon as I hear anything I'll post it here...whenever they reply...any day now. I'm sure they're sincere and antisemitism has nothing to do with it, but cynics might suggest that for gays to support Arabs over Jews is lunatic.
