A saying from the past, not often heard these days, but repeated to me by one who lived their entire life in Arabic speaking countries;
Women are for babies, men are for pleasure
(Edited to add, one such search on the saying ;http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080925061610AAxuYVj )
Now searching this saying or variations of it, it appears it originated in the Middle East, so homosexuality is just as natural there as it is here, but I suspect what has happened has changed that ideal and that because of colonialism
Yeah, the fucking Brits and their Victorian mentalities; prim and proper on the surface, but sleazy underneath, fuck, I hate what my country has done to the world !
Now, what is happening, is the Middle East is doing the very same thing the west did, it is hiding behind religion, but people being people will sin, they always have and always will, because to remain healthy in mind one has to be true to themselves before any man made construct is considered and we all know sexual energy is sometimes such a driving force, no law can control.
Hey, just look at the paedophile priests for conformation of that, and the early BDSMers the so called holy inquisition.
So, what Mr Dinner Jacket is saying is there are no homo's in Iran because he is scared of the western thought, what others might think of him if it was known that there are homosexuals under his control. Or it could be he is trying to say Iran is better than the west because they have no homos, which we all know is bollocks, to which he knows also and so he makes extra effort to weed them out
Now for those that have not lived in an Arabic speaking country, the sight of two men walking hand in hand does not mean they are homosexual, although it is known to the Arabs that is what the west immediately think and they have had a history of being called effeminate or homosexual by the western critics of their culture. In their culture there is nothing wrong with holding hands with a like gender, as all it shows is affection, not gayness.
So in summary, perhaps what we are hearing from the likes of Ahmadinejad, is something we in the west caused with our attempts to paint Araby as something less than ourselves.
