OK man, don't shoot the messenger here, but I have heard from more than one military source who are or have been serving in Iraq that the men there, who are restricted by their religion from having sex with women before marriage, instead turn their affections towards other men and even goats. The people who have told me this have no reason to lie. They have been involved in the training of Iraqi soldiers, and in the course of getting to know these men, they have uncovered some disturbing "habits".
first of all...
if a man in is not having premarital sex, then that means he is following his religion according to islamic law. It is a sin to have premarital sex and its common sense sin to be gay or even fawk a goat. In Saudi Arabia, they have public beheadings to those that are gay - and Ive never heard a case of beastality. If you look at a map of HIV and diseases and all that shit, you`ll find that the middle east is the lowest in every category. Its not just forbidden by the Quran, its simply agains the law there...and its not a slap on the wrist felony...they will kill you in front of a crowd and make an example out of you.
Im not going off on you per say, but your information is greatly inaccurate. Ive been all over the middle east, including Iraq...and there is no way that would be allowed. If the government doesnt kill him, then the citizens would
and just because they cant have sex with women before marriage doesnt mean they wont have sex anyways. Look at Kuwait for example....all the Kuwaiti guys go to Lebanon all the time and simply have a fawk fest. Lebanon is the more liberal country in the middle east...so they get away with more shit. You wont find anythign like this happening in Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia...etc...
im also a soldier in the US Army and was attached to the 18th Airborne Corp and I have friends that have been there and done that...and never heard any stories of such...
Like I said....I think your buddies might be halucinating
