Saudi Arabia: Gay Wedding Upsets Islamist Regime
With a hat tip to the Religion of Peace, an article from AFP/SAPA via South Africa's Independent reports on a bizarre wedding party which was described in the Saudi newspaper al-Watan on Wednesday.
At the southern town of Jizan on Tuesday, some 400 males attended a "wedding party of two men". 20 of the wedding guests were detained, for "emulating women".
250 people were rounded up, and most were later released. The Al-Watan report stated that on a hill above the square where the party was held, some guests were seen to be chewing qat a plant based drug (with mild amphetamine effects, but some addictive power).
Sodomy was condemned outright by Mohammed, but dressing up as a woman was, according to one hadith, something for which he had some ambiguity. In the Sunan Abu Dawud there is related the following:
Book 41, Number 4910:But despite the fact that most transvestites in the decadent West are rather eccentric heterosexuals, and those who were arrested were dressed as women, in Saudi Arabia it is illegal to be "homosexual".Narrated AbuHurayrah:
A hermaphrodite (mukhannath) who had dyed his hands and feet with henna was brought to the Prophet (peace be upon him). He asked: What is the matter with this man? He was told: Apostle of Allah! he affects women's get-up. So he ordered regarding him and he was banished to an-Naqi'. The people said: Apostle of Allah! should we not kill him? He said: I have been prohibited from killing people who pray. AbuUsamah said: Naqi' is a region near Medina and not a Baqi'.
Last November we reported on the arrests of five people for holding a "gay beauty contest".
Despite the strict prohibitions against gay activity in the Wahhabi-controlled kingdom, our research into the Google searches on various topics showed that the Saudis are the second most interested group in searches for "gay sex", and also they are the country with the most Google searches for "ass sex".
