As another Judeo-Christian religion based on the Old Testament, Islam does
not condone sex between men and boys, men and men, women and women or
unmarried men and women. If you have a reliable reference to the assertion
made above regarding "traditional Islamic cultures" please provide it. If
you cannot provide an authoritative reference then please desist from
making grossly ignorant comments about cultures, especially those to which
you do not subscribe, a habit which continues to give anthropologists a
bad reputation as insensitive racists.
