They are rooting much else besides if Ayatollah Khomeini is to be believed. But luckily for shiites at least, there is a post-coital guidance available on good authority. You can't get more scholaarly than thee Ayatollah Khomeini.
Mark Steyn explains in THE SHAGGED SHEEP
(Sunday, 30 November 2008 )
http://www.steynonline.com/content/view/1516/26The naughty bit:
Quote:Resaleh Towzih al-Masael/A Clarification Of Questions consists of almost 3,000 “problems” for which Ayatollah Khomeini provides answers, plus a few follow-ups he dealt with in subsequent editions.
Here is a page from Mr Borujerdi’s translation. In case you’re on a slow dial-up in Mexico and the j-peg’s taking its time a-loading, I’ll reprint a bit:
#2631. It is loathsome to eat the meat of horse and mule and donkey and if somebody makes coitus with them, that is an intercourse, they become unlawful and they must be taken out of the city and sold elsewhere.
#2632. If they have intercourse with a cow and sheep and camel their urine and dung becomes unclean and drinking their milk will also be unlawful and they must be killed and burned without delay, and the person who had intercourse with them must pay money to the owner. Further, if he had intercourse with any beast its milk becomes unlawful.
I first read this book all those years ago with my Persian gal, and I take it off the shelf every once in a while because, like Oriana, I enjoy a good laugh: If you bonk your mule, you’ve gotta take him out the city and sell him. If you shag your neighbor’s sheep, you’ve gotta write him a check. That’s not me, that’s not Oriana, that's not some compiler of some discredited anthology, that’s the Ayatollah Khomeini. You can find the great man's magnum opus in the original Farsi at imam-khomeini.com.
How can one take an angry, bearded shite seriously again, especially when he demands that infidel little me defer to the 'scholars'? I know I won't be able to.
