In Afghanistan > The Taliban stick to Sharia, except when it come to sex and boys

 

Afghanistan: Taliban commanders engage in rampant sexual abuse of boys

Jun 1, 2026 8:00 am By Robert Spencer18 Comments

Women are so devalued and despised that boys are often considered preferable sexual partners. “Men are for pleasure,” goes the saying, “and women are for babies.” As long as a man marries and has children, he can carry on with boys is not considered a homosexual, and is not liable to be executed as such.

“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

The children forced into ‘Bacha Bazi’ sexual servitude by the Taliban: The group has decriminalized marrying girls… but their commanders are guilty of equally depraved abuse towards boys

by Eliana Silver, Daily Mail, May 30, 2026:

Adorned in makeup and dressed in brightly coloured women’s clothing, young boys are paraded before groups of powerful men to dance, before being subjected to rape.

For thousands of impoverished children in Afghanistan, this systemic sexual exploitation is the harrowing reality of Bacha Bazi.

The barbaric tradition, whose name translates to ‘boy play’, has persisted for centuries, turning boys into sex slaves for the country’s elite.

While Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers publicly claim to oppose the practice, Bacha Bazi continues as an open secret.

Survivors who have escaped speak of beatings, rape and psychological torment, only to be cast aside once they grow facial hair and are no longer considered desirable.

Many turn to prostitution, drug addiction or suicide, unable to escape the trauma they have endured.

Others face further violence upon returning home, while the suspension of much international aid following the Taliban’s return to power in 2021 has left victims with limited access to support and rehabilitation.

All this takes place in a country where homosexuality can carry the death penalty and pederasty is supposedly punishable by lengthy prison sentences.

Despite the Taliban’s legal ban on the practice, a recent report suggests it remains widespread.

The US State Department in its latest Trafficking in Persons report, found that child soldier recruitment, human trafficking and Bacha Bazi continue in Afghanistan.

The report said the Taliban recruit children through coercion and deception, including false promises, and documented cases of Bacha Bazi involving Taliban officials as well as other armed groups. …

The horror of the situation was laid bare when Dan Quinn, a former US Special Forces captain, was relieved of his command and pulled from Afghanistan for attacking an American-backed Afghan militia commander who had kept a boy chained to his bed as a sex slave.

‘The reason we were here is because we heard the terrible things the Taliban were doing to people, how they were taking away human rights,’ Quinn later said.

‘But we were putting people into power who would do things that were worse than the Taliban.’…

On Being a Woman under Sharia > 140 lashes for alcohol and non-marital sex - woman collapses

 

Sharia in action in Indonesia: Woman collapses after she is lashed 140 times for sex outside marriage

‘One of the most severe’ Sharia law canings carried out in Islamic Indonesian region sees woman collapse after she is lashed 140 times for having sex outside marriage

Daily Mail, January 29, 2026:

A woman collapsed after she and her partner were caned 140 times each for having sex outside of marriage and drinking alcohol in one of the most severe Sharia Law lashings carried out in Indonesia.

The couple, a man and a woman, were struck on their backs with a rattan stick in a public park on Thursday in the province of Aceh while dozens of people watched.

Sexual relations between an unmarried couple are strictly outlawed in Aceh, the only place in Indonesia to impose a version of Sharia.

The woman fainted after enduring her brutal punishment and was escorted to an ambulance.

In total, the pair received 140 lashes: 100 for sex outside marriage and 40 for consuming alcohol, according to the head of Banda Aceh’s Sharia police, Muhammad Rizal.

Pictures of the public canings showed the woman kneeling as a masked man whipped her repeatedly with a cane, while another image showed her wiping away tears.

The woman was also pictured being wheeled off in a stretcher following her beatings, while her partner appeared to grimace in pain in separate photographs.

It is thought to be one of the highest numbers of cane lashes imposed since Sharia was implemented after Aceh was granted special autonomy in 2001….

Sexual Recession in the USA and elsewhere > No wonder the birthrate is falling

 

See my notes below for what this survey missed

US has plunged into ‘sex recession’ – survey

The number of celibate young Americans has doubled in 15 years

Americans are in the midst of a “sex recession,” with fewer adults reporting regular intimacy than at any point in recent decades, a recent nationwide survey has revealed. The sharpest decline is among young people, where reports of celibacy have surged.

The number of 18-29-year-olds who went without sex for an entire year more than doubled between 2010 and 2024, going from 12% to 24%, the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) wrote, citing latest figures from the General Social Survey (GSS).

“Young adults are spending less time dating, mating, and getting married, with obvious implications for sex. Indeed, the lack of marriage is why young adults face the brunt of the sex recession,” reads the report. It notes, however, that while married adults tend to report more frequent sex than their single counterparts, they too have seen a steady decline.

Weekly sexual activity among adults aged 18–64 has dropped from 55% in 1990 to just 37% last year, the report adds.

The IFS report links the fall in marital intimacy to the spread of digital technology, arguing that smartphones, computers, and streaming platforms are cutting into time couples spend together.

A reported steep drop in social interaction, brought about by the rise of smartphones and social media, has also contributed to the trend. In 2024, young adults spent less than half as much time with friends as they did in 2010 – 5.1 hours a week as compared to 12.8, respectively.

The trends highlighted by the IFS have been recorded in other countries as well. Research published last November in France suggested that a quarter of all 18-29-year-olds in the country reported having no sexual relations at all over the past year.

What the survey missed includes the proliferation of drug use, both recreational and medicinal.

Recreational drugs can go either way, but the use of cannabis has dramatically increased the number of people with psychological problems, many of which are now on psychotropic drugs which definitely dampen the desire and ability to have sex.  

Unfortunately, the number of cases of child sexual abuse just keeps growing and growing.

Drugs and Kids and a Gay Man in Netherlands > Demonic possession, child rape, murder in the Netherlands; Maastricht U. removes 'safe space' after sexual abuse; Dutch ISIS Bride Trial Starts for enslaving Yazidi women

 

The drug culture that has taken hold of the world is madness personified. It is almost always that kids pay the price for the madness of men, but with drugs, that price goes right through the roof.

Suspect says he wanted to "do something sexual"

with 9 y.o. Gino the moment he saw him

Donny M. knew he wanted to “do something” to 9-year-old Gino van der Straeten the moment he saw him walking in Kerkrade on the evening of 1 June 2022, the 24-year-old man said in court on Monday, NOS reports. “It was like a switch had been flipped. My focus was only on him. I wanted to do something with him. Sexually.”

This is demonic possession at work, IMHO.

M. is on trial for abducting, drugging, sexually abusing, and killing the 9-year-old boy. Gino disappeared from a playground in Kerkrade that day. M. was arrested three days later and told the police where to find Gino’s body, wrapped in garbage bags and dumped behind a burned-out house near M.’s home in Geleen. M. confessed two years ago, but the investigation took a long time because the man’s story did not always match the trace evidence.

During the first hours of the trial today, the judge discussed the runup to Gino’s abduction with M. The man said that he was supposed to work on 1 June 2022, but instead took drugs and drove around in his car in Zuid-Limburg.

He spotted Gino in Kerkrade in the early evening and followed him to the playground, M. said. He spent some time playing football with Gino until the boy said he had to go home. “I told him I would take him home. Then I think he grabbed his scooter and we walked to my car.”

According to M., Gino started to panic when he didn’t stop at his sister’s home, where the boy was staying. M. told Gino to sit on the food of the passenger seat, so that he would not be visible. “But when he did not, I got angry.”

Gino cried and screamed. “I went completely crazy from all that screaming,” said M. Because of that, the man stopped at a swimming pool in Landgraaf, according to him, intending to leave Gino there. He took Gino’s scooter from the car and noticed a woman staring at him. M. said he was afraid Gino would tell her he had been kidnapped, so M. left the scooter and took the boy with him.

The prosecutor asked M. why he didn’t get Gino out of the car first if he wanted to get rid of the boy so badly. “I didn’t think like that,” M. said.

M.’s questioning will continue on Monday afternoon. The court booked four days for the trial. On Tuesday, M.’s personal circumstances will be discussed and victim statements will be presented. On Wednesday, the public prosecutors will explain their view of the case and demand a sentence. On Friday, M.’s lawyer will speak and the suspect will have the last word. The ruling is expected on November 27.

Maastricht Univ. shuts down "mindful nest"

after students use meditation space for sex

Maastricht University has decided to remove the Mindfulnest meditation pod from its Arts and Social Sciences faculty after complaints that students were using it to have sex. Some students took the instruction to “Do whatever feels good” on the sign next to the pod too literally, the university newspaper Observant reported.

The Mindfulnest - an almost soundproof cabinet with a bench, some pillows, and a tablet to play soothing sounds - was placed in a lounge where students can study and relax in the spring of 2022.

But due to complaints about students having sex there, many don’t want to use it anymore, calling it “unhygienic,” among other things. The director of the faculty agreed to have the nest removed “as soon as possible,” the university newspaper wrote.

The meditation pod was financed with government money intended to mitigate the consequences of the coronavirus disaster. Because that money is no longer available, it was already scheduled to be removed in March next year.

Maastricht University already had two other Mindfulnest units removed, but a spokesperson stressed that it was for “business reasons” and not because of complaints.

The university will look for alternative ways of offering students opportunities to relax. “We are working on VR glasses for yoga and meditation,” the spokesperson told Observant. “An additional advantage is that it is no longer a closed cubicle, so you know for sure that it is used correctly.”

Do they make pornography for VR yet?

Trial starts against Dutch woman accused of

enslaving Yazidi women in ISIS caliphate

This week, Hasna A. from Hengelo will stand trial for allegedly enslaving two Yazidi women in the ISIS caliphate in Syria. “It is the first case in the Netherlands in which someone is prosecuted for crimes against the Yazidi community that were committed by ISIS,” lawyer Brechtje Vossenberg, who is representing the victims in this case, told EenVandaag. For security reasons, her clients’ names will not be released.

Hasna A. left for Syria with her disabled son in 2015. She was eventually repatriated by the Dutch government from a prison camp in November 2022 as part of a group of 12 women and their 28 children.

Two Yazidi women who were held in the caliphate have testified that A. enslaved them, forcing them to work in her home and care for her disabled child. “It is charged as a crime against humanity,” Vossenberg told the program. Slavery is punishable in the Netherlands, the lawyer explained. “But the hallmark of a crime against humanity is that the crime is committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population. In this case, that is specifically the ISIS attack against the Yazidi community in northern Iraq in early August.”

During the ISIS genocide on the Yazidi people, thousands of people, mainly men and boys, were slaughtered. “Thousands more, mainly girls, unmarried women, women with children, girls from the age of 9, were captured en masse, enslaved, and transported by ISIS to other parts of Iraq and to Syria,” Vossenberg said. “The entire ISIS policy was aimed at dehumanizing these people. They did whatever they wanted with them: girls and women were enslaved, used as sex slaves or slaves in the household. They have been through an awful lot.”

A. is also being prosecuted for involvement in terrorist crimes and putting a minor in a dangerous position.

Dalal Ghamin (28) grew up in the Yazidi community in the north of Iraq but had to flee from the ISIS violence. She will be following the trial closely. “It is very important to us,” she told EenVandaag. “On the one hand, it is great that someone is finally going to appear before the judge. On the other hand, we think it will only be a few years in prison at most and we do not think that is justified.”

“Everyone has seen how bad it was for us. Thousands of people have been murdered. Over 6,000 women and children were taken and used as slaves. More than half a million people went on the run,” Ghamin said. “There is no right punishment for what they have done.”

There is a 'right punishment' for what they have done, and for those who are not completely repentent, God will ensure that they receive it.

The Perverted Lives of the Rich and Famous > Westchester Country Club - A lot more than golf or squash

Westchester Country Club is playground for wealthy sex pests:

top squash coach

By Ben Feuerherd, NYPost

March 2, 2023 2:29pm  Updated

One of the nation’s top female squash coaches filed a lawsuit against an exclusive Westchester County country club Thursday, alleging that “prominent” members slept with prostitutes, bedded employees and may have even drugged and raped a female worker. 

Squash guru Natalie Grainger claims she was fired from her six-figure job at the Westchester Country Club in Rye after she raised concerns about the bawdy behavior, according to her federal retaliation lawsuit.

Grainger, 45, was hired as the club’s squash director in 2018 and in August of that year learned that an employee who worked under her — one of her “direct reports” — was sleeping with a “prominent” member, the suit states.

Because of the relationship, the employee was “separated” from the club, which boasts two championship golf courses, a beach club on the Long Island Sound and requires a $170,000 initiation fee, according to the suit.

In 2021, Grainger learned that a different “prominent” club member was allegedly sleeping with another of her employees. 

The employee’s performance at work began to deteriorate because of the relationship, and Grainger feared there was a growing problem of sexual harassment at the club. 

“In or about October 2021, Grainger became especially concerned about sexual harassment at the Club when she discovered a trail of text messages among male Club members discussing a ‘lineup’ of women they had apparently picked out for the evening’s ‘fun,’” the suit states. 

“The text exchange, which was sent to Employee 2 by Member 1, included pictures of three provocatively dressed women who appeared to be sex workers,” the suit states. 

In 2020, the employee’s sister called Grainger early in the morning and said she was worried that her sibling had been drugged while out with the club member who had boasted about the “lineup” of women. 

“Grainger subsequently learned that Member 1 paid Employee 2 and, as Member 1 admitted, ‘not for squash,’” the suit states. 

The suit goes on: “Grainger also learned that another female employee (‘Employee 3’) complained that she was sexually assaulted by another male Club member at one of Member 1’s personal residences.”

Grainger repeatedly raised concerns about the allegations with several officials at the club, including a board member, but was rebuffed, according to the suit. 

Instead of investigating the allegations, Grainger was fired in March 2022, the suit states.

Grainger is seeking a jury trial and unspecified damages.

Days after she was fired, Grainger learned from board member’s wife that the employee who was allegedly drugged while out with a member said she was raped by him, according to the suit. 

The suit describes Grainger as one of the most decorated squash players in the world, a three-time US Open champion and the only player – man or woman – to rank No. 1 in both singles and doubles. 

She coached the US national team for 15 years and also served for 11 years as a board member of Squash Haven, an “enrichment program” that serves at-risk youth.

After she was fired, the club offered her position to a “less-qualified man, who moonlights as a disc jockey,” the suit states.  

Grainger is seeking a jury trial and unspecified damages for discrimination, breach of contract and retaliation. 

A Westchester Country Club official did not respond to a voicemail from The Post seeking comment Thursday.

“I was shocked when I learned about the behavior of certain men at the WCC, and I ultimately lost my job because I chose to stand up for myself and other women,”  Grainger said in a statement released through her law firm, Wigdor LLP. 

“I hope this lawsuit will help all who have endured this kind of discrimination and bring change to the culture at the WCC,” she added. 

The Birds and the Beads: B.C. Tweens get Explicit, Accidental Sex Education

Public health nurse mistakenly gives explicit sex guide to Grade 6 & 7 students

Jon Hernandez · CBC News 

An explicit sex guide describing fetishes and drug use was offered to preteens inside a B.C. classroom, prompting outrage from parents and an official apology from the school district.

The sex guide — which features cartoon images accompanied by explicit details of sexual acts and fetishes — was made available to grade 6 and 7 students at Erickson Elementary School in Creston, B.C., following a regular sex education class taught by a public health nurse and her trainee.

Copies of the 47-page book, which is intended for adults, were taken home by several students on June 20, according to the district. The school has since received complaints from eight different parents.

The school's principal, superintendent and the public health nurse have since issued apologies to the parents.

"It's quite graphic, and I consider myself to be a fairly liberal person — and I was shocked," said Christine Perkins, the superintendent of the Kootenay Lake School District.

"We have issued apologies, offered counselling to families, we're phoning every single parent, we've got counselling through the summer if anybody wants it," she told CBC News.

Adult cartoons

The sex education class was taught by a local public health nurse, who had been working with a nursing student to lead the three-day course at the elementary school.

On the final day, the pair brought in some extra learning materials from their office, including the Safer Sex Guide — a book produced by CATIE, a Canadian HIV awareness and research organization.

The nurse told CBC News that the book appeared — at first glance — to be age appropriate for the students. It features a series of cartoon animal characters.

But the book also features graphic descriptions of sex acts and fetishes, including bondage and shared sex toys. It even suggests ways to use drugs while having sex to reduce the chances of passing on HIV and hepatitis C.

The guide does warn that it contains sexually explicit information and is meant for mature audiences.

The public health nurse and her nursing student brought a stack of booklets to share with the classroom without realizing it contained explicit materials.

Neither the teacher of the class, nor the school's principal, thoroughly vetted the content.

Parents outraged

The district said several students took the book home. At least eight parents filed complaints.

Liz Anderson says her 12-year-old son Garrett saw the booklet, and then showed it to a student from another class.

"This book was on the side of almost sexual assault, teaching the kids this kind of crap," she told CBC News. "On my part, I think the health nurse and the principal should have went through that book before it was even allowed in the school."

Parents voiced their concerns at a meeting held by the school on Tuesday.

The district said it plans to institute a thorough vetting process for third-party learning materials in the future.

Superintendent Perkins said the teacher and the principal are both remorseful.

"It's extremely important to have age-appropriate education. We don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves, but at the same time, we don't want to not inform kids. Of course, we don't want our kids going out and having STDs or getting pregnant," said Perkins.

"But there's certain ages and certain ways, methods in which to teach at different age levels, and I think that was the step that was missed here."

'Kids are resilient'

Teaching kids about the risk of sexually transmitted diseases are part of B.C. school's grade 6 and 7 physical health curriculum.

Sex educator Saleema Noon says children approaching high school should be learning that there are many different kinds of sex — but teachers should handle it with care.

"In grade 6 and 7, we really need to kick it up a notch," she said. "In a perfect world, preteens wouldn't be exposed to information ... that really is intended for adults."

In a halfways moral world preteens wouldn't be exposed to information ... that really is intended for adults. This was an error that should not have been made, and it seems highly unlikely that anyone will suffer for the incompetency except the children and their parents.

She says children are often exposed to more explicit content than parents might think thanks to the internet and social media, and it's important to have open and honest conversations with them.

"The good news is kids are pretty resilient, at that age especially," said Noon.

America's First FGM Case Falls Flat on Its Face

There are now no laws against FGM in USA

Law that outlawed female genital mutilation unconstitutional,

charges dropped against doctor

Max White, Scott Anderson

A federal judge has dismissed several charges against Dr. Jumana Nagarwala in the historic female genital mutilation case, ruling that the federal law against female genital mutilation is unconstitutional.

U.S. District Court Judge Bernard Friedman ruled that Congress did not have the power to enact a federal law that banned female genital mutilation in the United States.

Instead, Friedman made the argument that the law was too broad and it violated Congress' powers, as the law does not stand up to scrutiny under either the Necessary and Proper Clause or the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution.

He also found that laws penalizing Female Genital Mutilation should be handled at the state level, similar to laws regarding Criminal Sexual Conduct, battery or child abuse.  

Shannon Smith is the Defense Attorney for Dr. Nagarwala.  

She says the ruling is "absolutely a huge victory. When you actually studied the law they enacted, there was no constitutional basis for them to enact the law. It’s really an issue that should be left to the states."

Smith also claims the doctors did not perform Female Genital Mutilation, saying instead they performed a mild form of female circumcision.

There is no valid reason for female circumcision; it is neither cosmetic nor medicinal. It does nothing for the girl except to reduce her enjoyment of sex and thereby improve her cahnces of entering marriage as a virgin. The advantage of that is that she will get a higher price or a more desirable partner. This is more important in areas of great poverty than in America, but has become a tradition that has no place in the industrialized world.

"What Dr. Nagarwala was doing, if we had gone to trial, would have been vindicated that she was not mutilating little girls. While we’re happy with the victory and we’ll certainly take it, there’s a part of me that’s a little disappointed that the public isn’t going to see the evidence brought out at a trial to see that she was never guilty of it in the first place," Smith said.

The ruling comes after Friedman also dismissed a "conspiracy to transport minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity" charge in January. That was the only count that could have lead to life in prison for both Nagarwala and Dr. Fakhruddin Attar.

Attar provided the facilities for Nagarwala to do her business.

Friedman's ruling leaves two counts in place in the case. Nargarwala is charged with "conspiracy to travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct," and four of the defendants are charged with conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding.

How can he leave the conspiracy charge in place when he has eliminated the 'illicit sexual conduct'? That makes no sense to me. I expect it will get thrown out and all that will be left of all the FGM charges is a conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. 

Islam wins; girls lose! What else is new?
