Sheer Idiocy..

It seems the Australian Muslim community doesn't have a monopoly on extremist leaders..

Yesterday's papers were afire with indignation. A senior Sydney Sheik made some idiotic statements about women being like uncut meat laying in the sun waiting for cats to eat it.

The quote went something like:
"If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it … whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat?" he said. "The uncovered meat is the problem … if she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred."

Sydney was in uproar, understandably so but it was with pride that I saw muslim women stand up and denounce this idiot sheik and his ramblings.

And now this morning, I find that we are taking up that high standard of common sense with our own brand of lunacy.

A Sydney Rabbi has declared this boy not Jewish, 4 days before his Barmitzvah, because his circumcision was done incorrectly, and that he needs it redone! What the hell?! Understandably the mother refused and went to a progressive synagogue for the Barmitzvah ceremony. And the quote from the Orthodox Rabbi?

The Australian Jewish News quotes one of the rabbis as saying the Progressive synagogue was "fooling the child" into believing he was Jewish.

How about the orthodox rabbis fooling themselves that they were living in the same world as us?

This has got me so angry. As if *ANY* mother would put their child through that a SECOND time?! And for what? Some idiot Rabbi declaring that 'yes, this child is in fact Jewish' ? Bugger that!

So yes, its a wonder that jews and muslims don't get along.. our leaders share a very similar lack of common sense..
