Muslim men engage in gay play in the valleys of death

Nine Muslims countries to this day may punish a gay or bisexual person to death: Sudan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Mauritania, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar and UAE.
But this does not mean, gays wont play: among the Muslim countries, the United Arab Emirates is perhaps the gayest nation as per the gay dating site AdamForAdam. There are 1,149 gays looking for mating in that rich Gulf nation in spite of the death sentence. Though not called as such, there are quite a few gay bars in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman and other cities where men invite other men to their homes for obvious reasons. UAE is in fact one of the most pluralistic Arab nations where people from different background can live freely. 

Perhaps, Saudi Arabia is one of the toughest places for gays. Police in Saudi Arabia have arrested several men who appeared in a "gay wedding scene".

"A video circulated widely online shows two men walking side by side as they are showered in confetti," The Independent reported. Despite such harsh sentence as beheading for gays there are 602 gays on AdamForAdam and one young saudi posts his picture and says he is "looking for friend and lover as well." 

Ali, who was raised in Saudi Arabia and now lives in Washington DC, said gay sex is widespread despite the fact that men are beheaded for the crime of homosexuality. Among Saudis, young men groom teenagers for play and the practice is called keeping boys.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, equally regressive like the Saudis also puts gays to death but brave Iran gays defy the restrictions and as many as 236 seek playmates on AdamForAdam.

The Shia theocracy's former president Mahmoud Ahmedi Nijad became a butt of ridicule when he denied there were any homosexuals in Iran. 

In Qatar too a man can be sentenced to death for engaging in gay sex. But this does not prevent Qataris to seek partners for fun, play and relationships. "Lets see what will happen, but lets enjoy," the profile of a young Qatari says. "No pressure just like to enjoy good conversations and maybe more," reads another profile.

Yemen, just because the Saudi bombings have sent the bulk of population to the brink of a humanitarian disaster and a person can get te death sentence for being gay, as many as 153 gays are looking for sex on AdamForAdam.

UAE is followed by Afghanistan, where 1033 Afghan gay men looking to play, followed by Turkey where as many as 1200 plus gays are there for the same purpose. Considering that Turkey has a population of 80 million while Afghanistan has a population of only 35 million Afghans.

In fact, the joke is over the skies of Kandahar even birds fly with one wing--meaning they cover their ass for fear of Afghan men on the ground. The penchant for sodomy is so widespread that sodomy is called the fail-i-Afghan, or act of an Afghan.

Many towns in neighboring Pakistan also enjoy the same reputation of birds flying with one wing over them for example the town of Bannu. The way young men solicit sex in Bannu is to wear garland and solicit clients in the marketplace in Bannu. Recently, the religious clerics passed an edict to force eunuchs who make living by selling sex to grow a beard. Bannu is in the Khyber Pashtunkhwa province. But while only two percent of Pakistan population said gay sex was okay, according to a report in Mother Jones "Pakistan is by volume the world leader for Google searches of the terms “shemale sex,” “teen .nal sex,” and “man .ucking man,” according to Google Trends." There are as many as 369 gay guys looking for sex on AdamForAdam in Pakistan.

Though Pashtuns in Afghanistan have a reputation for being gay, Tajiks there are no less gay than them. While in Balochistan the Brohis-- Baloch who speak Brohi language in France-sized Balochistan-- are also overwhelmingly gay or bisexual. In addition, the town of Panjgur in Balochistan is famed not only for its date palms but also for its top men, while the District of Kech, hometown of former chief minister Malik Baloch, is quite famous for its bottom guys with "red lips."

In Sindh too male to male sex is quite common. One place quite famous for such sex is the Cadet College Petaro where former president Asif Ali Zardari was schooled. Rumors galore that Zardari was romantically inclined to Dr Zulfikar Ali Mirza, a former government minister and one of his favorite partymen and close buddies, though now the two are estranged. Another town is called Matiari.

Interestingly Faisal Alam, who is from Pakistan is big into the Muslim gay scene in the USA but his counterpart from Afghanistan, the first openly Afghan gay guy Nemat Sadat says the term gay Muslim is an oxymoron. "How can you be gay and Muslim at the same time? It is like saying being Jew and Nazi at the same time," Sadat told me. Sadat had to flee from Kabul for coming out as gay and an atheist.

In some cultures, like Afghan and Saudi Arabia, having sex with teenage boys is widespread. The practice is called bachcha baazi in Afghanistan and is so deeply entrenched that US troops were under instructions not to be biased against it. And though a guy can be sentenced to death for homosexuality and is promised hell if he engages in homosexual acts, after life it is an altogether different thing. Muslim martyrs are promised not only 72 virgin angels but also 27 peach-bottomed boys in jannat or heaven.  Finally, in Mauritania, with a population of about 4.5 million in the African Maghreb, where radical Islam seems to be on the ascendancy, there are at least eight gays willing to take the risk of death for gay sex.
