A singer who performed in front of a “mixed audience†of men and women was lashed 39 times to make him “repent,†after a ruling by a self-described rabbinic court on Wednesday. Rabbi Amnon Yitzhak, founder of the Shofar organization aimed at bringing Jews “back to religion†(hazara betshuva), has made it his recent mission to fight against musical performances for both men and women. http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=186154
Amazing, These guys are acting as mullahs. I don't know how sinners can have authority over other sinners? Didn't 2,000 years ago Jesus show who can judge others?
That's bizarre. Thankfully Israel is a free country, so the idiot getting lashed was doing so of his own free will. I know a few people who are into that sort of kinky stuff. None of them are very right in the head, but they can be fun at parties.
Yup, we have nut cases too. They are everywhere. But in contrary to the stoning and lashes in the Muslim world, the singer was idiot enough to wish for the lashes. He willingly accepted Rabbi Yitzhak's authority, although that by law he was not obliged to, nor to undergo such a barbaric punishment for his "sins". In the Muslim world, people do not possess the privilege to refuse being punished barbarically for their "sins". I'm glad that now you know the difference. But from reading your post history I doubt if you have the intellect to understand it.
Now the picture is clear. As strange as it can be a friend of mind told me he had sex with a woman who wanted to be chocked while having sex! These guys are not mentally "there". There are people who want to be tortured and they enjoy that. But that's not the case in Islam where sinners punish sinners. The sinners who have the power in islam dictate what is from God and what not.
You have to be extremely careful with erotic asphyxiation or you end up extremely dead. But heck... who here has never participated in a sport activity which included a risk of injury or death? Never ridden a motorcycle or driven an automobile above the posted speed limit? Never skydived? Never closed your eyes while driving to see how long you could force yourself to keep them closed? Never engaged in competitive martial arts? Never done extreme camping? Never tried rappelling? Never free climbed above 14'? Most of those things present risks of pains far greater than the screwball fundamentalist Jew put himself through.
