This just indicates you know absolutely nothing about Shi'a and Mainstream, or even about basic evidences in Islam. The primary text of Islam is the Qur'an. the Secondary text is the Hadith, and a tertiary source is books of Fiqh (rulings made by scholars from the two primary sources). Shi'a and Mainstream both accept the Qur'an, but do not agree about the Hadith, the two having completely seperate books of Hadith. As for Fiqh, Mainstream and Shi'a don't share not even a single book of Fiqh out of the thousands written. They are completely seperate. That book you quoted from has absolutely no authority at all to the Mainstream Muslims, it has no more authority than the Bible or the Vedas, ie. zilch.

So you can believe and think what you want, but it's not grounded in reality.

All sexual acts are fobidden in Islam, except between a man and his wife. Anything else, like green aliens from the Delta Quadrant, bestiality, homosexuality or any other deviancy you can bring forward is strictly forbidden.

In mainstream Islam it's definitely forbidden.

Since you haven't actually brought forth a ruling from the Shi'a that says it's allowed, I can't really comment on whether we therefore differ. Bring one forward, and then ask.

Islam  - as the final revealed word of god, immuably present in heaven since creation -  is as multifarious, varied and interpretation-bound as any human text.

It is crazy to insist that something so divergent is and so bound up in mutually exclusive and historically situated interpretationss of its authority and meaning to be beyond criticism, examination, (god forbid) contradiction. Only madmen can insist that despite its so obvious variances of interpretation, it should be still treated as if it was coherent, cohesive or supernatural.
And we haven't even looked at the details, only at the baisc divergence you identified.

No wonder Islam has ruled reasoning beyond the pale.

I have a video from a few years ago I got in an email, it's entitled something like 'These are the people we are supposed to protect?' and it is a thermal video taken at night from either a stationary helo or a vehicle and it has two Iraqi young ADULTS engaging in intercourse with a donkey...

I don't think Christians are allowed to do one eyed snake charming either, something about self gratifying behaviour.

Hahahaha.

I remember during sex ed at the Catholic school, I kept asking about it and if it's a sin and all this, so they got the priest to come down.

"Boys can do it but girls can't."

Gold.

I know it is pointless complaining about being censored, your the moderator. But if you can't answer here I will ask in one of the other forums.

Was my reply deleted because I said "the donkey being the victim should be punished" or was it due to a play on words referring to an attractive uncovered ass?
