GAYS COME OUT IN SAUDI ARABIA: MOHAMMED HAS TWO MULLAHS?

As recently reported, Saudi Arabia has a growing population that’s emerging not only from the Seventh Century, but from the closet as well.

Wearing brightly-colored headdresses instead of the traditional white — which they feel is tres gauche after Labor Day — the gay Saudi population is struggling for acceptance and equal rights in one of the most repressive countries in the world.

Among the leading items on the gay Saudi agenda is the right to marry 45 same-sex partners. In addition, many Saudi gay rights activists seek the elimination of whippings as a punishment — for being whipped. However, on this particular issue, there is some disagreement within the gay Saudi community.

Gay culture is also becoming more mainstream in the world’s leading oil producing nation. Next to Al-Jazeera’s top-ranked television program, American Infidel, the biggest hit of the year is “Queer Eye For the Strait of Hormuz Guy.”

In addition, the Saudi Capital of Riyadh now has its own gay bar, the Stonewall Inn, named after the treatment that gays and lesbians were usually accorded by the Saudi religious police — literally being stoned against a wall.

Although Fundamentalist terrorist cells in Saudi Arabia might be expected to be homophobic, they’re actually extremely supportive of the nascent gay rights movement, since they hope to recruit gay Saudi men to take jobs as male flight attendants.

Despite these inroads, however, traditional segments of Saudi society are strongly fighting back against the gay liberation movement. As one mullah succinctly put it, “if same-sex marriages are allowed, how in the name of Allah are we gonna’ tell who owns whom.”

The Dog That Didn’t Bark: The key to Scotland Yard’s detection of terrorist plot was the anomaly of 21 Pakistanis wearing turbans carrying 33 tubes of L’Oreal hair gel. Elementary, my dear Watson!

exceptance from this crowd.

This piece is obviously a satire, and it is meant to bring attention to the lack of 'proper middle class values' in fundamentalist regimes.
It would be typical of idealistic young liberals to ignore regional geopolitics over issues that are only important to americans & europeans.
