lol, that is the prince of insults.

there's that bit in the gospel of St Paul (i shouldn't know this) which says people who are "effeminate" will be damned to eternal hell-fire or somesuch (this is often pointed to by rabid gay-bashing fundamentalists). seems pretty harsh to me, i mean that could just mean having a soft voice, nice hands, good listener etc.

Damn! do you think this includes moobs? We're all damned!

Yes, but it could also mean that you are Graham (I'm the Biggest Nancy) Norton

To be fair I was paraphrasing. But I don't think that was too far off what it said.

Yes but what did it say, and what did it mean?

To be 'condemned' could mean many things.

Given that it's in the context of the Koran I'd fear the worst.

Condemns them to what though?

A mild verbal admonishment, or a brutal execution by beheading or stoning.

Or is that bit open to interpretation?

Opening it at random I found the advice that "Allah condemns those men who dress as women and those women who dress as men"

My next door neighbours are Turkish and we get on quite well; this year he came around with one of those calendars with a page for each day of the year that you rip off as the days pass. It was one which had a little "teaching" from the Koran on each day. Opening it at random I found the advice that "Allah condemns those men who dress as women and those women who dress as men". So there. What has mr Walliams got to say about that then eh? Hmmm?

Maybe not but aren't male persons of this religion allowed to diddle little boys because the female needs to be a virgin when she gets married and so that keeps the mans urges quietly in the background? Or something like that...

brilliant. just brilliant.
