"Boy Play" in Afghanistan

Hopefully, many of you have heard about this story and may have already written your Congressman.

In Afghanistan it is part of their culture to dress up little boys as women and then have the men screw them.

Just one other example of the filth, rot and perversion that is evident in many Muslim lands.

When a U.S. Army soldier intervened to stop the rape of a little boy by an Afghan officer he got in trouble with the army for interrupting their "culture".

Of course the liberals of America have many folks scared to say ANYTHING disparaging about Islam and/or Muslims lest we be accuse of being "Islamophobic."

KABUL, Afghanistan — In his last phone call home, Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley Jr. told his father what was troubling him: From his bunk in southern Afghanistan, he could hear Afghan police officers sexually abusing boys they had brought to the base.

“At night we can hear them screaming, but we’re not allowed to do anything about it,” the Marine’s father, Gregory Buckley Sr., recalled his son telling him before he was shot to death at the base in 2012. He urged his son to tell his superiors. “My son said that his officers told him to look the other way because it’s their culture.”

Rampant sexual abuse of children has long been a problem in Afghanistan, particularly among armed commanders who dominate much of the rural landscape and can bully the population. The practice is called bacha bazi, literally “boy play,” and American soldiers and Marines have been instructed not to intervene — in some cases, not even when their Afghan allies have abused boys on military bases, according to interviews and court records.

The policy has endured as American forces have recruited and organized Afghan militias to help hold territory against the Taliban. But soldiers and Marines have been increasingly troubled that instead of weeding out pedophiles, the American military was arming them in some cases and placing them as the commanders of villages — and doing little when they began abusing children.

“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,” said Dan Quinn, a former Special Forces captain who beat up an American-backed militia commander for keeping a boy chained to his bed as a sex slave. “But we were putting people into power who would do things that were worse than the Taliban did — that was something village elders voiced to me.”

The policy of instructing soldiers to ignore child sexual abuse by their Afghan allies is coming under new scrutiny, particularly as it emerges that service members like Captain Quinn have faced discipline, even career ruin, for disobeying it.

After the beating, the Army relieved Captain Quinn of his command and pulled him from Afghanistan. He has since left the military.

Many of you may get the ACLJ Updates as I do.  If not, here is the one that came today and maybe you would consider at least signing their petition.

Dennis, 

It's called "bacha bazi" - translated "boy play." It's clearly evil. 

Older men force young boys to wear dresses and then rape them, often multiple times per day. 

This sexual torture leads to a lifetime of physical, mental, and psychological injury. 

What is the U.S. Military reportedly telling our troops to do about this evil? 

Nothing at all. 

We give more foreign aid to Afghanistan than any other nation on Earth. 

America must ALWAYS stand up for what is right. 

We're fighting back, aggressively advocating on Capitol Hill, demanding the Obama Administration address these atrocities. We're submitting critical legal documents and testimony at the United Nations to end the abuse. 

These young boys are being silenced. The evil is being shoved into the shadows. 

Shine a light into the darkness. Be heard for these young boys today. 

Sign Our NEW Petition: Protect Afghan Kids from Sexual Abuse.
