Gays reason for Earthquake: Israeli MP

Oh my!

An Israeli MP has blamed a bunch of recent earthquakes in the Middle East on gays.

"Why do earthquakes happen? One of the reasons is the things to which (the Israeli parliament) Knesset gives legitimacy, to sodomy," said Shlomo Benizri, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas party, who has suggested that the tremors could be stopped by repelling various "liberal" laws on homosexuality that have been passed by Knesset, in recent years.

Benizri, who in 1999, caused controversy by saying homosexuals are mentally ill, made his comments during a parliamentary debate on earthquake preparedness.

Stopping "passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes," would represent a cost-effective method of preventing future earthquakes, he continued.
