Was going to say this myself. Pakistan, Iran, etc, it's very strange over there. It's like they're all into it but hate to admit it? Not sure how it got the way it is. Some very confused people in that part of the world...
Source? Couldn't you also use that argument to say that Catholics have a predilection towards little boys? Seriously, go get some hard facts and come back here, otherwise, sounds like you're just trying to push your own biases.
Wait, have you actually even read this paper? It basically just talks about how homosexuality is seen in the Middle East (NOT favorably, actually), and actually argues that Islam should be more favorable towards gay people, and says that yes, gay people exist in the Middle East, and says that some of the public perception is shifting to be a little less homophobic and seeing gay people as having an identity that isn't just about sexual acts. I honestly don't know what you think you're trying to prove, but it's pretty obvious you're just blowing hot air. Somehow thinking that Muslims are 'more gay' is honestly one of the most asinine things I've ever heard.

This is Indonesia. They are Muslims. Muslims prefer boys over women. Makes sense.

Women are for children, but boys or for pleasure. And you're only "gay" if you fall in love. Rules of the road....

Repressed homos. I wouldn't be surprised if ISIS sodomized the gays before throwing them off the roof. It's only gay if you fall in love....

Source? I've been to all those shitholes and seen it with my own eyes.

Same. Didn't see it. You should stop looking for gay men everywhere you go.

Wow, thanks for the source. Not like anyone online could say that exact thing. Link me to actual studies and stats or it's all just hot air.

One thing is clear, I have no need to justify my experiences to you. My reputation stands on its own here.
Since you are learning, peruse this: https://www.unive.it/media/allegato/dep/n25-2014/RICERCHE/07_Tolino.pdf (Homosexuality in the Middle East: An analysis of dominant and competitive discourses)

just look up Baccha Bhazi. It's a common practice in Afghanistan and Pakistan etc.

Ahhh, the gay Muslim stones speak...

Yup, you definitely haven't read it.

I don't know that I could say that about Catholics writ large, but Catholic priests....that's another story.

Sure, it's common among Muslims. But the trend really isn't exclusively Islamic.

No doubt. PEdophilia is endemic in all major religions. Though I've not seen a lot re Hindu, though India is a trafficking hub.
Homosexuality is rampant in certain Islamic regions. AFG/PAK is notorious. As is IRQ.
