You'd have to ask a Catholic priest how openly it's encouraged. One thing is for sure there was a pervasive and systematic cover ups of these acts for decades.

The behavior of Afghan men that sexually abuse boys is wrong but we have sexual abuse here. I don't think America should get on its moral high horse and point fingers when the same problems happen over here.

For it t be covered up means it was NOT openly and widely encouraged.

your moral equivalency doesn't hold much water...

As we have spousal abuse here in the USA then a society that openly and widely accepts and allows it are both equivalent according to you??

Because that is what you seem to be asserting,if a bad thing happens in one place(even if it is abhorrent and condemned) and in another where it is openly and widely accepted,BOTH are equal...

To put what you are saying in a bit clearer terms.

to say that what is a status symbol in one country and what is condemned and shunned in another are morally equivalent is wrong. (Even tho both counrties do the same thing)

But theory is one thing, practice is another. Idealism, which has a Utopian quality, is inappropriate in a world where corrupt interests abound and where there are many who go on all fours. The last sentence in the report, an added footnote--"Exterminate all the brutes"--refers us to the dark other side of his identity, "the soul satiated with primitive emotions" (69); it shows a descent from high to low, and that his civilizer's concern for the distressed savages has turned to hatred--a Jekyll-to-Hyde turn. Of particular relevance in this respect is the significance of the portrait he has painted, the blindfolded torchbearer against the black background (25), which could be said to suggest, among other things, the simplicity of the ideal and the complexity of reality, the illusion of light and the truth of darkness. The monstrous prevails...

That is so sickening and sad for these young boys.

In the first video the man says that he is a "cultured man" and so he would discuss whether his wife opposed to him having a boy or not. "Cultured"?

And we are helping President Hamid Karzai of the Pashtun tribe?

Show the documentation where the Catholic Church approves of this behavior.

Default Afghan sex practices concern U.S., British forces

Afghan sex practices concern U.S., British forces | Washington Examiner (http://washingtonexaminer.com/news/world/2010/12/afghan-sex-practices-concern-us-british-forces - broken link)

Quote:
In late 2009, U.S. and British forces ordered a study of Pashtun male sexuality. They were worried that homosexuality and pedophilia among Afghan security forces and tribes could create cultural misunderstanding with allied troops, according to a copy of the report obtained by The Washington Examiner.

"There is frequently the risk that Pashtun boys will face a set of experiences that mold their beliefs regarding sexuality as adults in ways that are ultimately damaging, both to themselves and to Afghan society," the report concludes. "It appears that this set of experiences becomes cyclical, affecting generations, and that this cycle that has existed long enough to affect the underpinnings of Afghan culture itself."
The article cites concern that the abuse these young boys suffer at the hands of these adult men will mold their beliefs regarding sexuality. Seems they agree with the behaviorist Erik Erikson who says that sexual identity is a learned behavior (stage 5 Identity Vs. Role Confusion) Erik Erikson Stages of Development . I guess not everyone bought in to the APA's politically correct revisionism.
