The BBC tells us in: Israeli MP blames quakes on gays
An Israeli MP has blamed parliament’s tolerance of gays for earthquakes that have rocked the Holy Land recently.
Shlomo Benizri, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party, said the tremors had been caused by lawmaking that gave “legitimacy to sodomy”.
Israel decriminalised homosexuality in 1988 and has since passed several laws recognising gay rights.
Two earthquakes shook the region last week and a further four struck in November and December.
Excuse me, but if Israel has earthquakes for not discriminating against gays, why does Iran have earthquakes? One would certainly think that the policy would be consistent around the world, or at least throughout the Middle East.
