    If you know to what forum it belongs, then tell me.
    Bacha Bazi is not current events.

    Grooming children seems to me to often involve religion. As for pedophilia... Insert random catholic church pun here.

    I just looked at the Wiki entry on this

    I agree with you. I honestly didn't know what forum to submit the thread but this seemed like the only one close enough.

    Exactly. It's too bad the video is difficult to access because it deals with a similar practice in the US regarding increasingly "mainstream" children's drag. Actually, it is nearly identical.

    This isn't the video I posted in the OP but it is related.

    I don't think that Wikipedia entry really supported the title of your thread that well.

    An awful lot of “grooming” nonsense is just that - nonsense. Ye Gods when I was growing up “fancy dress” was a fad and looking back on it an awful lot of us ended up cross dressed

    Didnt harm

    Well ..... fancy dress seemed alright at the time but perhaps Prince Harry really was in danger of morphing into a Nazi? Anyway, the point (your point if I'm not mistaken) is that religion and the other thing ought not to be mixed.

    I agree- 'trans kids' night at the strip club should be illegal.

    I've been naïve to believe it was illegal.

    Wikipedia provides only the definition of Bacha Bazi for those who don't know what it is. It's the video that supports the title in conjunction with the practice of Bacha Bazi.

    Evidently a common practice in Afghanistan. But then again so is bestiality

    Frontline's documentary from 2010 and US Govt still ignoring/enabling it in 2015.

    I saw the documentary back then and it still resonates every time see images/footage of Afghan men in the mountains etc.

    Documentary opens with an Afghan "scout" driving their car and explaining their modus operandi.

    Young boys are either sold by fathers or kidnapped and after a few years of sexual abuse and debauchery they're tossed to the curb, broken mentally and spiritually.

    "FAR" from it? Oh no. The video I posted in the OP proves that the main difference is in the scale of it but that video has been deleted or in some way made obscure. Sexually abusing boys as pedophile sex toys is sexual abuse of boys by pedophiles. What's the part you are willing to excuse?
