Is that my sister-in-law? Or is that my brother-in-law?
I don't know how many readers have seen this picture, but it's been making the rounds as an email attachment:
I've gotten it twice now, both times in a Power Point file with this cute accompanying story: Normally, I wouldn't bother to make a blog post out of one of those anonymous emails, but it just so happens that when I thanked a friend for sending me the above, it somehow triggered a question I found deeply disturbing: Did you notice their hands?...I'm not sure they're all females.The thing is, I had wondered that myself, but I dismissed my thoughts as a product of my sometimes paranoid hyperimagination, possibly even fueled by, by, Islamogenderphobia? I don't know what you'd call it, but the fact is, Islam and gender bending don't mix. Or do they? Anyone remember these pictures of the Taliban guys all dolled up?
No wonder he said there are no gays in Iran. What's really going on under those burkhas? I smell a coverup! And I suspect some sort of internalized phobia or another. posted by Eric on 06.18.09 at 10:07 AM

I am surprised just how little the homosexual thing in relation to Muslims is talked about. Any soldier who has been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan can tell you that incidents of homosexual activity (I say this instead of homosexuality because the sex act isn't really frowned on, the lifestyle is however) are numerous. Probably a third of raids that I did involved busting in on two or more guys. More common in the cities than in rural areas, they were very comfortable with it sometimes preferring it to a female if it was about pleasure. CPT Dave · June 18, 2009 03:20 PM Hi Dave, Enjoyed your blog. You know, Americans seem so much more civilised in their writing than we Brits. (Well, many of our bloggers anyway. They tend to be foul-mouthed monosyllabic politician-haters. And they attract the same class of commenters.) I too used the above picture at my blog. Scary that people think this is fine. And think of all the vitamin D these women are lacking due to blacking out the sunlight! http://keeptonyblairforpm.wordpress.com/2009/05/29/muslim-family-picture-i-think/ It's probably costing my Health Service millions to try to remedy. "Excuse me, Madam, but would you kindly remove your garments, so that I can examine ... I mean ... be sure you are female." BlairSupporter · June 19, 2009 07:51 AM Post a comment
