Khaled El-Rouayheb argues that this apparent paradox is based on the anachronistic assumption that homosexuality is a timeless, self-evident fact to which a particular culture reacts with some degree of tolerance or intolerance. Drawing on poetry, biographical literature, medicine, dream interpretation, and Islamic texts, he shows that the culture of the period lacked the concept of homosexuality.HomosexualityArab countriesHistorySodomyArab countriesHistoryHomosexuality in literatureHomosexualityHistory.SodomyHistory.Homosexuality in literature.306.76/6/09174927El-Rouayheb Khaled1814070MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968564003321Before homosexuality in the Arab-Islamic world, 1500-18004367669UNINA
