1 Now, Rusty, isn't this what the great prophet told these dimwits to do? Oh, yeah, that was goats, but it's the same thing. They can always say, "The Prophet(PBUH) made me do it."

2 Some is raping sheep and PETA has not responed what is happening its weird

3 Next minute they'll be stoning the sheep to death for leading the men astray.

4 I can see it now, Jester. Burn the manger and barn of this filthy sheepish whore and prostitute. Malaysian sheep are warring against the ummah, probably inspired by jinni, and must be destroyed. Let Dukhtaran-e-Milat have at this slutty sheep.

5 B-a-a-a.

6 JJ, the frightening thing is this could all be possible in the parallel universe that is Islam.

7 Does "frantic bleating" mean he was doing it right or wrong?

8 I can't BELIEVE it. Don't you guys realize that Islam treated sheep better during the Middle Ages than Christianity ever did? That the Koran teaches LOVE the sheep, and only be consensual with them? That in fact, Jewish sheep were veritable kings of Damascus? Islam just needs a reformation in its lovemaking of sheep... Actually, given the religious diversity of Malaysia, we don't even know if this guy was Muslim.

9 How can they call this rape? In my my experience, Malaysian sheep, usually, are just asking for it.

10 On the bright side, at least the family will get a nice hearty meal out of the inevitable honor killing. Mmmm... Stuffed mutton!

11 "given the religious diversity of Malaysia....." jd, you need to update your records. The ROP has forced a goodly number of Christians and Buddists to leave Malaysia. My latest count has Muslims in the 60-65% range.

12 What's the most popular Cole Porter song in Malaysia? "My Sweet Embraceable . . . Ewe"

13 Sheep stories? Oh God! Where is this blog going!

14 The East coast sheep are hip I really dig the fleece we share, and the southern rams with the way they balk ... they knock me out when I'm down there ....

15 That would be my point, JJ--that we don't know his religion. At 65%, that's lower than the % of Americans who are Christian. Yet if some American were going to town on a sheep, would you be okay with the world assuming he was a Christian? (altho I'd bet good money he was, given that this is primarily a rural game, and rural America is much more Christian. Not so many Jewish/Buddhist/Muslim/atheist farmers in the heartland!). All this reminds me of a good joke, though. A prim and proper British major was sent to a desert outpost in Egypt during WWII. A gruff corporal was giving him a tour of the camp. Tour ends, major says "Just one question: what is that camel for?" The corporal looks ashamed, but says "Major, we are 100 men, and it gets lonely out here in the desert. We are 50 miles from the nearest town, so when the powerful urges strike, well, the men use the camel." The major nods "I see. Well, you can assure the men that given the circumstances, I will allow the camel to remain, although I deeply disapprove." A month later, those powerful urges come over the major, and he figures, why not try it? He asks the corporal to bring the camel to his tent, mounts up on a little stool, and has loud, violent sex with the camel. When he finishes, he asks the corporal "Is that pretty much how the men do it?" "Not exactly, sir. They usually ride the camel into town where the girls are."

16 erm: "The meat of horses, mules, or donkeys is not recommended. It is strictly forbidden if the animal was sodomized while alive by a man. In that case, the animal must be taken outside the city and sold." "Sodomized while alive"? Necrophilic bestiality is okay?

17 Also--this seems kind of bogus, actually, now that I think about it. If it is ritually unclean after sodomizing, why is it okay to sell it to someone from the next village? Presumably, Khomeini was writing for the whole nation, anticipating everyone is Muslim. Put me down as skeptical as to its authenticity.

18 Yeah, the same source says Khomeini endorsed sex with infants, so long as there was no penetration. This sounds like a bogus translation. There are MANY weird things endorsed by religious leaders of all stripes, and I've read some imams who have very peculiar views about masturbation, menstruation, etc. But infantophilia seems an unlikely thing for Khomeini to endorse. You can find websites that say that Jews are instructed to eat infants and drink Christian blood. It doesn't make it true, just because it is up on the web.
