callippo Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 they are as mad, but not as bad, because the difference is there's no way anybody that stoned a dog to death in Israel would escape criminal punishment under animal cruelty laws. In Israel the secular authorities trump any religous ones massively - there isn't even any official religion in Israel. It is not like Iran or Saudi Arabia at all.

mc55 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Didn't the Yorkies in Whitby hang a monkey (because he couldn't speak English and was probably a Spanish spy?) Perhaps another Jewish Rabbinical court will condemn the first court to death for heresy. Judaism does not include a belief in reincarnation and I seem to remember something about a guy called Moyshe (who made a toe-ointment for the shins of his people) saying God had told him: 'I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; Do not have any other gods before me." AFAIK, It doesn't say anywhere in the Old Testament, in the Torah or in any other Judaistic writing: "When you die, you might be reincarnated as a puppy." The Dog-botherers might be found to be guilty of heresy. 'Bone them to death!' (Didn't Samson kill 150 people with the Ass-bone of a Jew?) Hartlepool !!

In Israel the secular authorities trump any religous ones massively - there isn't even any official religion in Israel. It is not like Iran or Saudi Arabia at all. I guess that must be why they don't have sex segregated buses and modesty patrols in the more Orthodox areas. Israel is quite like Iran and Saudi Arabia & there is a substantial portion of the population who'd like to make it much more like them. After all Islam was in no small part plagiarized from Judaism.

plekhanov Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hartlepool !! And that wasn't enough they've since gone and repeatedly elected the guy who used to pretend to be that monkey during football matches as their mayor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is it definitely not a theocracy like those, there is no official religion in Israel at all. It's a secular state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are 'modesty patrols' & sex segregated buses "nothing like Iran and Saudi Arabia"? The lack of a formal official religion, as for example the far less like Iran & Saudi Arabia UK does, doesn't change the way that in some areas you have people attempting to set up a defacto official religion, and having some success. Hence the aforementioned segregated buses & modesty patrols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hartlepool !! My apologies. I thought it was Whitby and the monkey they killed belonged to Dracula so he came back and sorted them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't have those 'modesty patrols' in the UK now, would they? Can you imagine religious fanatics attacking women in the UK? That would never happen!
