What are we in Afghanistan for, if not to stand for our own values and the principles of human rights? Instead, U.S. officials for years were aiding and abetting the destruction of these boys’ lives — and all too often sacrificing the lives of our own troops. This is beyond shameful.
“Those are the ones brought near in the Gardens of Pleasure, a company of the former peoples and a few of the later peoples, on thrones woven, reclining on them, facing each other. There will circulate among them young boys made eternal with vessels, pitchers and a cup from a flowing spring.” — Qur’an 56:11-18
“And they will be given to drink a cup whose mixture is of ginger, a fountain within Paradise named Salsabeel. There will circulate among them young boys made eternal. When you see them, you would think them scattered pearls. And when you look there, you will see pleasure and great dominion.” — Qur’an 76:17-20
“US Troops Taught For Years Child Sex Abuse Is ‘Culturally Accepted’ In Afghanistan,” by Jonah Bennett and Saagar Enjeti, Daily Caller, November 16, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
U.S. troops deploying to Afghanistan were taught for years that child sex abuse is a “culturally accepted practice” in the country, and were provided no guidance that it constituted a violation of the law and human rights until late 2015.
A new Pentagon inspector general report reveals that although troops weren’t explicitly discouraged from reporting cases of child sex abuse, the issue was not discussed until numerous media outlets reported that troops were encouraged to ignore local Afghan officials abusing little boys.
Interviews of troops from the report suggest that military officials didn’t really care much about stopping child sex abuse.
“In some cases, the interviewees explained that they, or someone whom they knew, were told that nothing could be done about child sexual abuse because of Afghanistan’s status as a sovereign nation, that it was not a priority for the command, or that it was best to ignore the situation and to let the local police handle it,” the report noted.
One interviewee said after he reported an Afghan commander who abused little boys to his chain of command, he was told: “It was out of our control” and “There’s nothing we can do about it” and “It’s their country.”
“Soldiers [were] told to ignore it and drive on,” another interviewee stated.
The cultural presentation sailors had to undergo stated that pedophilia is an issue in Afghanistan, but added that readers should “control and overcome any frustration caused by cultural differences that they may experience during their deployments.”
Additionally, the presentation advised sailors that they should ask their chains of command what to do in specific circumstances.
Marine Corps cultural training told Marines that they “need to understand the culture, accept it without making judgments, and figure out how to work with it or around it to accomplish your mission.”
The training also said that sometimes Afghan men joke about pedophilia, but Marines should just ignore it and “move on.”
Marines were not given any guidance about what they should do if they ever encounter instances of pedophilia….
The first explicit guidance to report child sex abuse only came about in September 2015, following a report from The New York Times, which interviewed former soldiers. They stated they were told to ignore child sex abuse, despite hearing the screams of boys being sexually abused by high-level Afghan officials on U.S. military installations.

What is with these people? These people are nothing but barbarians. Even animals have better behavior than these sickos. No, I don’t think I could stand idly by while some child is being raped and tortured at the hands of an adult. No, I’m pretty sure I’d try to do something about it.

Interesting that Barry Obama spent prolonged periods in neighboring Pakistan when his mother worked there, and later with a close friend at college.
RodSerling says
Error in wording of the title. Should say “stop” the culturally accepted practice.
Rob Porter says
Rod, we’ve got to ask ourselves why the U.S. is still in Afghanistan. It is doing a useless job. Permitting pedophilia and in the process sodomizing of young boys is disgusting and shameful. So this is ‘nation building’ is it? The U.S. is spending many billions of dollars being there and yet not imposing its standards or values. Rather hire South African mercenaries to do the job. As they showed in Nigeria and other African countries they know how to fight – in which activity, evidently, the U.S. Green Berets are clueless (Niger a prime example) – and if requested to kill sodomizing Muslim filth they won’t hesitate one second.
Rasheed says
You’ve got it. And the fact that this was tolerated on U.S. military installations is criminal. U.S. installation is U.S. territory.
Charles says
The 1400 years of worshipping SATAN has done this!
The “Culture” allowed them to molest innocent children!
Once this whole area has been wiped clean of these vile, demon possessed imbeciles, the whole world will breath a lot easier!
Rasheed says
I’m glad that you emphasized “culture” as opposed to religion. Those Quranic verses cited in the article have nothing to do with pedophilia.
Many folks mistake evil habits of Muslims to be of the religion and it is not – it’s culture and traditions of the perpetrators.
It is right to respect host countries’ culture but not when it is evil, as in this case, or on a U. S. installation. Should we also tolerate female genital mutilation of girls?
gravenimage says
The idea that promising Muslims in paradise the right to young boys has *nothing* to do with their abusing and raping young boys is obviously absurd.
Victoria says
Islam enshrines plenty of evil “habits” in the Shariah, including genital mutilation. Obviously the cultural “habit” of pegging underage boys stems from the Shariah’s laws about the separation of the sexes.
mortimer says
Pedophilia is a BIG DEAL, a crime against human rights and universally condemned. Using international and local laws, US military lawyers will be able to impede the practice if not stop it in the Afghan military.
They just have to charge someone in the Afghan forces. The US government has to protect children.
Anti-pedophilia organizations should be brought in to monitor Afghanistan and at least names should be published on line of Afghan perpetrators.
Shame may be an effective way of impeding this evil crime… at least do something to help children!
gravenimage says
Muslims have no shame.
But yes, we *could* do something to stop these atrocities against children, at least for a while–but appear to have no will to do so. *Ugh*.
brane pilot says
The USA spent, by some estimates, $5 TRILLION dollars bouncing rubble in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001.
Meanwhile, N Korea was openly testing nuclear weapons and ICBMs, and China gutted the US industrial and tax base.
It could be argued that with leadership of that level of incompetence, the USA does not deserve to lead the world, or even to survive.
Most of the architects of that debacle are still holding office. All of them are still free of the permanent incarceration many of them richly deserve.
DJ says
Brane pilot, you are spot on (i.e. dead right). I hope America survives because I have a lot of friends there. However its very survival is in grave doubt. America needs a spiritual revolution. God’s people need to fast and pray, asking God for mercy.

Look up “Bacha Bazi Boys” or “Dancing Boys of Afghanistan”. Bacha bazi
Bacha bāzī is a slang term in Afghanistan for any activity that involves an adult sexually preying on a child. It includes child pornography, sexual slavery and child prostitution in which prepubescent and adolescent boys are sold to wealthy or powerful men for entertainment and sexual activities. Bacha bazi has existed throughout history, and is currently reported in various parts of Afghanistan.

Ordinarily, I believe it is wiser not to interfere too much in another country’s culture, but in this case I’ll make an exception. Children are off-limits. They are innocent, ignorant and fragile. They need to be nurtured and protected, not exploited.
The US should make child protection a primary condition of its military support. If they see child sexual abuse and torture, they should kill the perpetrators without thinking twice.

If I have read about this for years in the common news, why is it just now showing up anyplace? Disgusting is just the beginning of words to condemn it. Let’s move further along…Let’s discuss the consequences of pedophilia and sodomy.
Let’s put all together all the information about what happens to boys who are sodomized and who grow up to be men. It will make you cry.
I think we must do it so as to understand many other things besides little boys who go on to be guilt ridden and often consumed men and understand why it goes on and on.
Peteb says
Where does worshiping Satan come into it?
Theophilus says
That’s what Islam is. Islam is idolatry – the Kaaba was originally the home of 360 idols before Muhammad was even born. The (later to become) Islamic god, Allah got greedy and wanted the whole Kaaba for himself, so he had the 359 others kicked out by Muhammad. But Islam is still idol worship. Have you seen what they do to the meteorite stone that supposedly fell from heaven and is set into the wall of the Kaaba?
Idol worship is demonic.
19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
1 Corinthians 10 in the Bible.
Evil is very real, but it’s personal not abstract.
Leith Wood says
Denial kills! Look at the mascara dripping down the cheeks of that abused boy and the dead eyes. Where is common sense in the military? This article makes me sick and furious!
Voytek Gagalka says
THAT is something the ICC (International Criminal Court) should be justly hunting down all those responsible for this! Not for any non-existent “war crimes” charges but for this: abetting in basic human rights violations under the pretext of respecting “culturally accepted (MOHAMMEDAN) practice.” And gosh, I would make sure that some generals (and presidents) be hung for that ACCOMPLICE in CRIME!

The British and Russians knew why they would keep as far away from this place as possible.

This is not just Afghanistan people, most of the Arab world flags the same abuse and so does Pakistan’s India. Palestine and Lebanon allow men to marry 7 year olds, India, Arab countries and others alike allow rape as it’s seen as the girls fault. Do you think it is the military’s job to sort this out? They have enough to do with fighting, us at home should be addressing this
MFritz says
Well. You leave the issues there alone and they will bite you in the ass later. Besides, the military is most certainly not fighting for us and the ideals of Western society if they tolerate this kind of barbarism.
Jim says
Obama’s military. Need to drain that swamp too.
Sarah says
Ahh, but all culture’s are supposed to be equal!!
Now I have some serious issues with the Arabs – most especially the Gulf State Arabs. I’ve ranted about them too many times to count, now.
But the Afghani’s. Jesus Christ on a kangaroo. This bunch are primitive. They really, truly are. They are just feral. I can’t wrap my head around it. Women have been devalued and debased to such an extreme degree that they’re not even sexually enticing to these males, anymore.
So they take little boys, vulnerable, fragile, tender, innocent little boys and they dress them in feminine clothing and slap makeup all over them, cover them with jewelry etc etc – they turn these little boys into obscene caricatures of femininity – and then they rape them.
They are pigs. They are inhumane. They are animals. They do not deserve the oxygen, water and other finite resources that they consume in order to survive. It is as simple as that. I don’t care that its a cultural practice. Its obscene. Its wrong. And no-one needs to point this out. Because you can go to pretty much any other culture on the planet, pretty much any other religion on the planet, any other nation on the planet (as long as its not Islamic – and what does that tell you) and you will find, milllions upon millions upon millions of men and women who would be shocked senseless if confronted with this obscene filth. You will find Governments who have enacted strict laws to punish animals like this for doing this.
But not Afghanistan. Not the ‘graveyard of empires’. Its a graveyard alright. A graveyard of humanity, haunted by ghouls and unmentionables. We need to nuke the entire nation and its inhabitants down to the bedrock. It’d be worth dealing with the nuclear fallout – at least we would have cured the world of the irredeemably filthy ‘culture’ of the Afghanis.
Leith Wood says
We at home are addressing the problem! Perhaps Mr. Gagalka’s suggestion of using the International Criminal Court is a possibility. All Obama’s people in Washington need to be fired. They are still working against us full time.

U.S. troops in Afghanistan taught for years not to oppose “culturally accepted practice” of child sex abuse

This *is* beyond shameful. Winking at this evil does nothing ultimately to make us safer, either.

We see how high up this reached in the Afghan command, and that these horrors were permitted *on our own bases*.
Even more shameful is what happened to those brave and decent Americans who *did* try to help these poor boys:
“U.S. soldier punished for stopping child rape by Afghan”
https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/soldier-punished-for-interfering-in-child-assault-by-afghan/
“Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., and others are questioning whether the U.S. military routinely discouraged troops from intervening in such sexual assaults. Hunter said Army Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland must leave the Army by Nov. 1, because his intervention to stop a child rape triggered a negative mark on his service record…”
This is how bad things have gotten–good Americans are getting negative marks and even being forced out of the service for *stopping child rape*.
What are we fighting for?

Exactly. If you’re not fighting in foreign lands to bring something better, what are you there for?
“Marine Corps cultural training told Marines that they “need to understand the culture, accept it without making judgments, and figure out how to work with it or around it to accomplish your mission.””
This attitude is a huge problem. The USA is for many people in the world (those not brainwashed by leftist-style US hatred/muslim hatred) the great symbol of freedom and hope. Those abused little boys have probably seen hundreds of US soldiers since 2003, and have probably looked at them wishing to God for some kind of rescue.
When that rescue doesn’t come, and it’s known that people from USA stand by while their filthy captors do the things they do these kids, we make ourselves look just like the negative propaganda describes us. Those kids will grow up hating the west more than their abusers, because they once had hope in us.
Older Canadian says
Another very horrific, difficult read.
Where are the voices of protest?
I can’t even imagine the psychological effect this will have on these poor children when they become adults.
Perhaps this is the main reason so many claim mental illness. Why so many are incapable of any reason or compassion, or tolerance.
Naildriver says
I was perhaps naive to think we would impose our Western notions of law and justice when we rolled into Iraq. That perhaps Bush, in his ‘nation building’, would create a secular society based upon American values; but damn, to allow Islam to be the corner stone of the Iraqi constitution, that sharia would govern all that followed! That Rice would smugly say it’s their will, and we need to respect it!
We’ve seen the results!
Since then, we now have to wonder if our own society will not be overrun with this Islamic slime.
But, being this post refers to the specific child molestation and rape of boys inherent in Islamic society, entrenched by their sharia, this reveals the depth of the collusion and treason. Islam is this nation’s enemy, and people had better wake to that fact.

Afghanistan – like Pakistan, Iraq, etc have long been lost causes – yes, even Saudi Arabia.
Moslems cannot be secularized, the only path of salvation for Moslems is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
No other.
We need to withdraw all of our troops from Moslem-majority nations, let these Moslems kill off each other. They simply cannot become civilized through military means, they just can’t.
Anne Smith says
The Pakistanis in Rotherham, Rochdale and all the other towns with their rape gangs abusing female children were also bringing their “culture” to Britain and the local officials decided not to stop them as it would be prejudicial to their cultural rights and against Britain’s policy of multiculturalism.
It is almost beyond belief that officials, supposedly charged with upholding the laws of our country were prepared to allow them to be broken constantly, with numerous crimes being committed against the indigenous population, in the name of “cultural diversity”.
it seems we are happy to follow America’s example. Let us hope under Trump things will change. I am afraid that in England they will not.

A 23-year-old Syrian refugee has been arrested for sexually assaulting a pony at the “Children’s Farm” in Görlitzer Park, Germany. An employee at the place confirms this to Berliner Morgenpost. A babysitter saw the incident and took a photo of the scene and contacted the staff. The 23-year-old rapist took off but was quickly found by the police using the babysitters’ photo to identify him.
“We have never had an incident like that before,” said one employee. The babysitter has refused to comment, as she is too traumatized.
#2631. It is loathsome to eat the meat of horse and mule and donkey and if somebody makes coitus with them, that is an intercourse, they become unlawful and they must be taken out of the city and sold elsewhere.
#2632. If they have intercourse with a cow and sheep and camel their urine and dung becomes unclean and drinking their milk will also be unlawful and they must be killed and burned without delay, and the person who had intercourse with them must pay money to the owner. Further, if he had intercourse with any beast its milk becomes unlawful.
