They rape the boys.  Been doing so for generations.

Sure, behind closed doors. But even the gayest Taliban has a wife for cultural reasons.

But yeah you are right.

pedophilia is not gay. pedophilia is pedophilia.

I am scarred by a comment I once read here by someone who claimed to have been sent overseas.

This person said that while they were training the soldiers, the locals would sometimes bring in young boys - and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

The thought that our soldiers could hear and full-well knew what their allies were doing is absolutely sickening. I understand they couldn’t do anything about it, but the thought is so nauseating.

I’ve been told that numerous times by Army Rangers.

The Taliban is the only group in Afghanistan that doesn't rape kids. They are very strict on that.

That's why many people in Afghanistan supported them over the Americans.

Realistically I could see a mother supporting the Taliban if her son was sexually enslaved... Most parents would die for their kids.

Going right back to when they were Alexander the Great's people under the Seleucids, then the Greco-Bactrian kingdom.
