That's the first time I've ever gotten that. Did the "land of the free" just pull a China on me?

That link is for UK residents. US folk can see the full documentary here:

What's even more sick than these people enjoying watching young boys dance is the fact that the parents are the ones giving them away to be trained for it in exchange for money.

Anyways, interesting to see what the 'recruiters' have to say.

Re: The dancing boys of Afghanistan

this is just sad & horrific....how could anyone do this...the men who use them...the parents who sell them....hope they go to the worst place in hell

I hope they took notice of the narrator when she said "The re-emergence of a practice that was banned by the taaliban, which exploits young afghan boys"

Re: The dancing boys of Afghanistan

I watched this documentary last night and its horrible . Though people living in Pakistan knows about this practice but everyone takes it so lightly . No one thinks its a big deal . The most pathetic thing is that now it has become the part of society there . Btw this disease transferred to Afghanistan from Pakistan . All the warlords were and are still involve in it , including taliban .

I don't really see any quick fix to it unless financially people are more stable there and don't give up their children for the sake of money .

:(

I'm left speechless.

It's disgusting...he has sons of his own as well.

How tragic for those boys...to experience the worst of humanity :(

Just finished watching it … :hinna:

That evil **** thinks he’s ok as far as Allah mian is concerned because oh u see he prays in a mosque every friday! Ullu da…

Someone has brains around here :)

Nah, I'm far from it dude.

I was just tryina point out that even though we don't agree with everything that the taalibans are for... but its important to remember they do have good HUMANE policies too...

They say "don't abuse the children", I'm all for them..

They say "let's kill all non-muslims".... ermm I don't think so! Take ur "jihad" elsewhere.

anyhow.. back to my sad blog!

Re: The dancing boys of Afghanistan

What a disgusting bunch...

And by the way, the Taliban banned it for others, so that they could keep all the boys to themselves.

Ditto.

Unfortunately to poke holes in the current Afghan state and use that as means of justifying that 'oh the Taliban didn't do that so they must be saints' is illogical.

Re: The dancing boys of Afghanistan

Kinz, check Maroush's link.

I'll put it in the main post too :)

true.

this is a depressingly pervasive problem in this country, but using it to paint a picture of taleban ruled afghanistan as one children thrived in is opportunistic to say the least. one can easily dismiss that idea by pointing to girls being denied education for the six years they ruled the country, to the impact of the rocketing prostitutionunder the taleban, to the treatment of hazara children.

Pedeastry is bad but it has existed in Afghanistan since pre-Islamic times, since the times Afghans were Budhhists, Hindus, Zoroastrians and Pagans.

It isn't just limited to those areas but has been practiced all over Asia, America, Africa and Southern Europe for centuries.

The Greeks (erastes-eromenos relationships), Romans (catamites), Chinese (amongst the buddhist monks), Japanese (amongst the samurai), America (Mayans, Kodiak and Aleutian islands), Russians (18th century bathouses) and many more all practiced it.

Contrary to what this documentory suggests, this has nothing to do with lack of women, I know of men with multiple attractive wives leaving their wives sexless for months because they prefer adolescent youth in their hujra/bethak.

Re: The dancing boys of Afghanistan

Just nasty. Ukh. So sickening
