After an interesting discussion with some friends yesterday, I decided to take this blog to a different level. I've been contemplating whether or not to discuss some of the taboos here. First of all, there are so many that it may seem ridiculous to a westerner like myself BUT they not only exist here. they're dictated strictly from culture not religion. Yes, this is the truth about Egypt.
A very obvious taboo is SEX, the first dirty three letter word I have encountered here. The second dirty three letter word is gay. Egyptians like to dictate that men are entited to want sex as their 'hormones and sex drive' are much stronger than that of a woman's therefore if woman speaks about sex then she is premiscuous. Well, have they ever heard the word 'estrogen' well that's the female's hormone that also dictates her sex drive. there is no sexual education here at all but if they dared and yes, I mean dared to look into their islamic religion then they would realize that the Prophet Muhammed PBUH spoke about sex as a topic in his sermons. He didn'speak in pornographic detail as one may want to assume, but rather he spoke of the islamic and biological etiquette of sexual intercourse. This brings sex to an entirely sophisticated topic rather than the pornographic version Egyptians have of it. I call this complete and utter ignornace of science and religion. Which Egyptians are very guilty of.
The second topic is that filthy 'gay' topic. I myself abhor the act and I am vehemently anti-gay. This stems from Islamic beliefs and the fact that everyone in the world knows about Sodom and Gomorrah/The People of the Prophet Lut(Lot in Christianity). So there's no secret here of how God feels about the act. Enough said. Now back to the issue at hand. Egyptians just love to deny that they have gays in the country. They will claim that there are just a 'few". Wow, that's a joke, I've been here for 9 months and I can point them out at every single turn. Yup, gays, lesbians, bi-sexual, bi-curious and yes the try-anything-sexual. They are here! But don't ever tell them this information, they'll deny it. The funny thing is Egyptian Gays have a facebook page and a national group..whoa, they don't exist alright. Furthermore, if they took one second to think and maybe research the issue then they would realize that they are in the top 3 contenders in the middle east for the largest population of homosexuals/bi-sexual in the region. Their competition is Turkey and Saudi Arabia...makes you think doesn't it. See the thing is these gays get married so to hide their actions from the public so you 'couldn't tell when 'Liberace' was walking down the street. Then if and when they contract HIV they go into hiding until death. The estimated number of GAYS in EGYPT is one too many in my opinion.
