Muslims and Pederasty

What's so vile about it?

Rape is vile. Abuse is vile. I don't see that this need be either. It's not something that would fit within our culture but that does not mean that it need be abusive within cultures in which it is practiced.

I'm not disagreeing with you; Pecos is quite clearly being purposefully dishonest, or at least reciting from someone who is.I suspect it's because American Christians increasingly see Muslims as a threat.

I'm sorry but that's an utter bollocks argument. We have no idea what effect any historical practices had on people, we have no idea whether those involved were permently damaged or not. Just because it is commonplace and happens to a lot of people doesn't mean it's ok (c.f wife-beating, slavery, bullying at school - sure people usually survive these things and get on with their lives but that doesn't mean they aren't harmful).

All true, and if your read what I said again you'll note I never said it was hamful.Still doesn't change the fact that your argument is wrong; history (and modern life) is full of practices that are harmful to those involved, the commonness of their practice is irrelevant.
