Just below the NYT's above-the-fold coverage of international breathlessness over a tired old man quitting his day job, there is this further evidence, as though we needed it, that all religions are insane.
Headline:
Women Praying at Western Wall Are Detained
Teaser:
Israeli police barred ten women from returning to the wall for 15 days for wearing prayer shawls that are traditionally used by men.
What, no flogging?
Someone tweeted: Praying Women Told: You Can't Have it Yahweh.

Can't come back for fifteen days? Wow, they're much more forward thinking than the evangelical men here!

So they don't have to go back for fifteen days? This is punishment? Do they have to eat ice cream instead?

Flogging is too good for them. The police I mean.
