In an article in Britain's Telegraph, Shlomo Benizri of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas party said this:
"Why do earthquakes happen? One of the reasons is the things to which the Knesset gives legitimacy, to sodomy," Benizri said during a parliamentary debate on earthquake preparedness.If we actually were capable of such phenomena I think we'd do something much more universally appealing, like rid the world of back hair.
"God says you shake your genitals where you are not supposed to and I will shake my world in order to wake you up," he added.
