What Kind of God?

A little girl is spat on for dressing as a child. Deeply religious men think she is immodest. They believe their god will smile on them if they demonstrate in a particularly filthy and disgusting way.

I've been spat on and nothing makes you feel more despised. What could an eight-year-old girl possibly have done to deserve this? Ultra othodox jews called her a whore and now Naama Margolese is afraid to go to school. Perhaps that was the whole idea, since education and reason had nothing to do with this.

What thoughts go through a grown man's mind when he sees sexuality in one so young? Normal men can only be appalled.

Now finally, at last, the moderate majority has said "enough!" and organised a mass rally to protest against the extremists in Israel. Could we wish for the same action in other parts of the world? We can but hope.
