Dr. Massad is an ignoramus, since the concept of sexuality was NOT invented in the 19th century. One of Aristophanes' comedies makes fun of a homosexual couple in Athens. See Plato's Symposium where homosexuals like Eryximachus try to justify homosexuality, and Aristophanes makes fun of everybody by explaining how in the beginning our ancestors were balls who rolled, had four legs, and reproduced by laying seed on the ground. Some of them were female, some male, and some both sexes. Because they got obstreperous, Zeus had them cut down to size, with two legs. Love is searching for the other half, so the all-female ones were homosexual females, the all-male ones homosexual males, and the half-male half females were the normal heterosexuals! Socrates is the only one to talk of love as the means of reproduction, and he learned this from a woman, Diotima.

Joseph Massad views are great.Gays are just deviated people it does not matter that they are Christians or Muslims.Good Muslims and good Christians always condemn such sexual practices.

I took a class with Dr. Massad last semester, and even though his ideas are provocative he makes a clear distinction between the labels: gay, queer and homosexual, which are all in fact Western concepts. If people want to take on these identities so be it, but the concept of sexuality was invented in the 19th century, and it has been enforced throughout the world via colonialism and modernity. Dr. Massad is on the forefront of critiquing imperialist cultural practices and an obsolete queer theory. He is a huge supporter of Judith Bulter and does not believe in the binaries of sexuality. This is quite commendable, and Columbia is lucky to have him on the faculty.

Disagree with him all you want, Joseph Massad is a genius. Who else could provoke such a debate that brings together and shows the underlying unity between the legions of pig-headed homophobic assholes; the bigoted, racist, anti-Islamic war-mongers–whose extreme ignorance is almost beyond belief; the fundamentalist Christian hate-mongers; and the erstwhile defenders of "queer" homosexuality? The extreme hatred and ignorance in all the preceding drivel almost proves his esoteric point, and I bet that is exactly what he intended.

God bless you Joseph Massad!

MUSLIM SEXUALITY:
Mohammed married Ayesha when she was six, but didn't consummate until she was large enough for him to penetrate at nine years old.

While he was waitng, he did mufa'khathat or thighing, where he rubbed himself to orgasm between the tops of her legs without actually entering her: http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/mufa-khatha…

'The Perfect Man' thus set the precedent for a practice which continues within Muslim families to the present day.

And it is disgusting that these homosexual pedophiles of the Muslim world see little boy's rear ends as a source (or depository) of sexual excitement and pleasure. Children are innocent creatures and should be regarded as such. We all know of Islam's desigusting attitudes towards women, which makes me want to just yank the hijab off women when I see them walking the streets of America with the symbol of their enslavements proudly displayed for all the world to see.

Islam is a religion of evil, and it, and its hardcore fanatic homosexual pedophile followers should be eradicated. There is certainly no need whatsoever for more Muslim fanatic pervert vaginophobes in America.

Gee, I wonder how many little boys ObaMao has violated, like a good little foillower of the moon god of the Arabian peninsula?

We all know that if these same things were said about homosexuals by a caucasian professor of Anglo heritage he would not have a job the following day. However, the homosexual lobby continually refuses to declare open hostility towards Mulsims who kill homosexuals just for being homosexual, and instead focuses its attention and outright hatred upon Christians, who only DISAGREE with homosexuality and don't advocate murder when it comes to homosexualitty.

THAT is a real perversion.

Thank you for being objective. I am just pointing out some historical facts and not engaged in pasing moral judgement.

However, it is interesting to note that none of the monotheistic religions have stated a minimum legal age of concent in their Holy Scriptures, thus implicitly allowing peadophilia with the opposite sex.

The concept of peadophilia as an illegal act was formed by humanistic thinkers and later adapted in Christianity and Judaism, but is still foreign in Islam.

Were you at the lecture?

No?

Have you ever been quoted in the media? If "yes", then you would be a bit more timid about the kind of conclusion you jumped to.

Perhaps Massad was saying that deviance was not 'common' as it seems to be here. But, since only 2.3% of the population is homosexual (according to the latest CDC report), the "appearance" of commonality seems to just be the out-of-control PROMOTION of homosexuality. So, maybe he was saying homosexuality is not PROMOTED in his native country as it is here. Or, maybe they do not tolerate it as is done here (ergo the hangings – maybe these 2 were inducting little boys into their nest – not tolerated there; ho hum here).

But i guess you were in attendance and so know first hand what REALLY happened.

Trying to understand

so – you are saying Ipso was NOT trying to defend "Homosexuality in Islam"?
or, are you saying he was NOT doing so with snippets from the Koran that allegedly promote pedophilia?

If you CAN'T come to an actual finding of these 2, then I would argue that my conclusions hold.
