Assalam Alaikum everyone,
I just discovered this server and saw the heading and I figured I should
respond
to it. Brother Walid, are you refering to this Afghan who kissed his son's
genital who lives in Portland, Maine? Well, I live in Portland, Maine and
there
is an Afghan who did kiss his son's genital. I do not know a lot about the
incident, but I do know that there are a lot of Afghans who feel embarrased
because of this incident. According to the Afghan community this is not part of
the culture. I have met this person and he seems to be a nice guy. I have not
seen the picture, but if it was taken during the circumcision ceremony it would
make a little more sense. Well, I do not have anything else to say about the
incident and I hope this will not happen again in the future.
Similar, incident occured to an Arabian man (don't remember the country) a few
years ago that was on the 20/20 show. The children were taken from him and
they
were adopted by Christian family and they were being raised as Christians.
Well, this person also it was okay to kiss his son's genital according to his
culture.
That's all I have to say..
Wasalam,
Nasir
