Killing people

[SOURCE] Blasphemy is a capital offence in Pakistan. They want to hang a woman because she said bad things about an imaginary god. She’s married. Has 5 children. Her family is in hiding. Why is there even a question about whether or not she deserves the death penalty?  This is stupid, stupid, stupid.  More stupid […]

Still not getting it

What to do!

While Pat Robertson accuses the Haitian’s of making a pact with the devil, and that is the cause of the tragic earth quake (and even goes so far as to call the quake a blessing in disguise)1, the guys over at the Jerusalem post have bigger things to worry about.  Matthew Wanger is worried that […]

How small are you?

[SOURCE] The AJN Watch, a blog written by a sky pixie believer, is outraged that the Jewish Community Council of Victoria (JCCV)  should be establishing a reference group to look at issues for people who are gay and jewish.  The author trots out predictable lines about how most people don’t accept homosexuality, and how homosexuals […]

How Sensible! Part 2

Ok, I just can’t help myself. I’ve been following the comments on a blog, The Sensible Jew, to do with the issue of homophobia in the orthodox jewish community and I’ve gotta say, I’ve never seen such pure dribble come out of the mouth of anyone like Alex Fein before. Talk about finding a brick […]
