Israeli MP Blames Gays for Earthquakes

Lest anyone think that we in the Muslim world have a monopoly on backwardness and comical fundamentalism:

Shlomo Benizri, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party, said the tremors had been caused by lawmaking that gave “legitimacy to sodomy”.

Israel decriminalized homosexuality in 1988 and has since passed several laws recognizing gay rights.

Two earthquakes shook the region last week and a further four struck in November and December.
