Ah yes, the irony.Mythopoeika said:'Fundies'. :lol:
An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man has lunged into a group of revelers leading Jerusalem's annual gay pride parade and stabbed six of them as they marched in the city, Israeli police and witnesses said.
The alleged attacker, Yishai Schlissel, had recently been released from prison after serving a term for stabbing several people at a gay pride parade in 2005, police spokeswoman Luba Samri said, adding that he was arrested at the scene of Thursday's attack.
Eli Bin of Israel's emergency service said six young people were wounded in the attack, two of them seriously.

I just had an alert saying my post on 'Ultra-Orthodox Jews who jaywalk' has been moved to this thread... 'Ultra-orthodox Jews''. I protest at this munge as they are clearly different categories and if we take the numerous cryptozoology threads as an example of how over-categorised things can get, there are numerous things that Ultra-Orthodox Jews can get up to...or indeed things could happen to them. We definitely need at least 27 different sub threads on unorthodox Orthodox Jewish action or we don't bother at all.
But surely Ultra-Orthodox Jews who jaywalk is an ENTIRELY different subject to Ultra-Orthodox Jews?
Not if their Jay-walking is part of their belief system as ultra-orthodox jews.But surely Ultra-Orthodox Jews who jaywalk is an ENTIRELY different subject to Ultra-Orthodox Jews?

This time of year we get a lot of them down here on holiday. They stay on the Uni campus while the students are away. Can't say I've seen any Jaywalking, however, but I mostly notice them when they catch a bus. Father and mother, and a large young family...
How I read that: Ultra-orthodox leader says his followers find five year olds sexually attractive.An ultra-orthodox Jewish leader has reportedly banned girls aged five and older in some areas of Israel from riding bicycles - claiming it is “immodest”.
The rabbi of the Jerusalem neighbourhood of Nahloat distributed the stringent decree to his followers in synagogues across the area.
He had said young girls riding bicycles could “cause serious damage to their modesty” and that bicycle seats caused young girls to sit in a way men found “provocative”, according to the Arutz Sheva 7 website.

Good grief, more ludicrous religious pronouncements.
Does anyone know why these nutters think it's OK for women to use side streets but not a main road? What's the basis for this idiocy? Tough shit if you're female & live on main st - just fuck off for 7 days.
