Earthquakes are caused by gays, says MP

AN Israeli politician has blamed a spate of recent earthquakes in the Middle East on gays

Shlomo Benizri of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party said the only way to prevent the earthquakes was for parliament to stop liberalising laws concerning homosexuals, AP reported.

“Why do earthquakes happen? One of the reasons is the things to which the Knesset (parliament) gives legitimacy, to sodomy,'' Mr Benizri said.

Mr Benizri said earthquake damage could be avoided if the parliament stopped “passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes".

Two earthquakes originating in Lebanon have shaken Israel in the past week. The first occurred two days after the Israeli attorney-general ruled that same-sex couples could adopt children. In recent years, Israeli courts have ruled that the government must recognise same-sex marriages performed abroad and grant gay couples inheritance rights.

How does one put accent marks on letters (umlauts, cedilias, accents grave & acute etc...) for the plethora of foreign words I'd love to use in my entries, but can't, due to an Anglo-centric keyboard??
