Something to make those rotting Wahaabi-Salafi brains explode...

The Ottoman Caliphate decriminalized homosexuality in the year 1858. Not many people know of this, and I become a aware of this recently. A nice fact to frustrate al-Saud's henchmen, who love to sing the praises of the Caliphates.

The Ottoman empire, while oppressive in many ways, never enforced social or religious issues. As long as you paid your dues, you were welcome. Everyone having just a bit of historical knowledge, would barf over what the Saudis or ISIL call a caliphate. It's urinating on the caliphates of old. Tolerant and curious communities that did more to preserve and further knowledge than any christian culture before the Rennaissance.
