This is unbelievable. Join the Army. "Ride" a camel.

I just came across a site which states that the NDAA - the National Defense Authorization Act, an incredibly vile attack upon our country and our Constitution, which permits the indefinite detention of American citizens without trial, representation, or any redress - has sections in it which are difficult to believe. Remember, this legislation was approved by 93 to 7 in the Senate, and 283 to 136 in the House.

The bill contains a provision which removes any punishment for military infractions of sodomy or bestiality.

I. SHIT. YOU. NOT.

Now, there are those who may say this is because of the fact that "don't ask, don't tell" and the discouragement of gay sexuality in the military has been deemed unacceptable. I suppose if you are going to have gay men in the military, there must be some thought given to how you are going to deal with sodomy, since that is their standard mode of sexual interaction, or so I have been told.

Frankly, when I was in the Navy, we were able to keep it in our pants until we got out on leave or liberty, and then found appropriate female company with which to interact. We didn't have access to many female sailors back when I served, so that wasn't an issue. I don't know how they keep them apart these days. But the few gay guys we had in uniform back then - the few we were aware of, anyway - kept it in their pants until they were off on leave or liberty.

So, my first thought was, OK, this is so they don't have to court martial every swinging Richard who engages in such behavior off-duty, although it is unlikely they would be surveilled simply to catch them out (or "in", as the case may be). Unfortunately, it also protects those caught slipping into their "buddy's" rack when they are on base or on board a ship, or what have you. That is not so good.

But where does the bestiality enter into it? Then the light appeared: muslim in the military. We know from our dealings with the Pakis especially - ask any soldiers or Marines you know who have returned from duty in Pakistan, or Afghanistan - muslim troops prefer sodomizing each other over having sex with women, including their wives. As the saying over there goes, "Women are for making babies. Boys are for pleasure."

Our Army and Marine officers have been told to look the other way. "Different cultures", they are told, "We musn't offend our hosts" and other such tripe. While the muslim troops have a go at each other in the barracks they have been assigned to bunk in. Back in the sixties we used to say "Different strokes for different folks", but this might be carrying that just a little too far, don't you think?

But bestiality? Sure. Who hasn't seen the famous YouTube nightvision video of a muslim having sex with a donkey? I've been told by returning soldiers I had on my ward at the VA hospital I worked at that sex with donkeys and goats was valued higher than sex with wives, although in truth much of the bestiality is more likely due to the proscription against muslims having sex with a woman they are not married to, while there is no sin in islam for having sex with an animal, nor with a boy. That's right, islam says homosexuality doesn't count if the partner is a boy instead of a male adult. There is a term for "beardless boys", Bacha Bereesh, and they are permissible for having sex. I've posted on this before, here is the source.

So, we have a win-win situation here for the "Obama Loves islam" carnival in progress. We encourage open homosexual behavior in the military by removing any possibility of punishment, and we set up the military for the addition of as many muslims as our muslim-loving President wishes to bring aboard, from the thousands who have been approved for, and assisted in, immigrating to this country, from Gaza, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, by this administration. Since most of our gay servicemen aren't into bestiality, this is the only reason that makes sense to me.

Perhaps if Major Nidal Hassan had been provided with his own donkey he wouldn't have felt the need to kill and/or wound all of those soldiers at Fort Hood.

Islam agrees. Khomeini's Teachings on sex with infants and animals here hat tip Michael

Islamic Teachings on sex with infants:

"A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate. If he penetrates and the child is harmed then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however would not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl's sister."

The complete Persian text of this saying can be found in "Ayatollah Khomeini in Tahrirolvasyleh, Fourth Edition, Darol Elm, Qom"

Islamic Teachings on sex with animals:

"The meat of horses, mules, or donkeys is not recommended. It is strictly forbidden if the animal was sodomized while alive by a man. In that case, the animal must be taken outside the city and sold."

Editor's notes: I wonder if it is OK to sodomize a dead animal? What happens if the buyer brings the poor animal back into the city?

"If one commits an act of sodomy with a cow, a ewe, or a camel, their urine and their excrements become impure, and even their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed as quickly as possible and burned, and the price of it paid to its owner by him who sodomized it."

Editor's note: The poor animal first is sodomized and then killed and burned. What an Islamic justice towards animals? Where are the animal
rights groups?

"It is forbidden to consume the excrement of animals or their nasal secretions. But if such are mixed in minute proportions into other foods their consumption is not forbidden."

"If a man (God protect him from it!) fornicates with an animal and ejaculates, ablution is necessary."

Editor's note: It does not say who should have ablution: the animal or the man?

"A man can have sex with animals such as sheeps, cows, camels and so on. However, he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village; however, selling the meat to the next door village should be fine."
