Parashat Emor (Leviticus 21:1-24:23) IV

Luke Ford writes:

This week’s we study Parashat Emor (Leviticus 21:1-24:23).

* I suspect the Torah would rejoice in the royal wedding. Here are two goys pledging eternal fidelity. The Torah is cool with people having a special role, including kingship, by birth. Psalm 45 is about the joy of a royal wedding.

* Is it sacrilegious or sinful to say that some Torah portions are more or less riveting than others? For instance, the traditional commentators such as Rashi and the Rambam had more to say and less to say about varying parshas.

Albert Haynesworth Swipes Credit Card In Cleavage

Luke Ford writes: Women are constantly throwing themselves at me. Luckily, I have a God-given universal moral code to live up to and that prohibits me from swiping my credit cards in waitresses’ cleavage.

Lara Logan: They Raped Me With Their Hands

Luke Ford writes:

In February, CBS, after learning that other media were asking questions about the incident, said that its correspondent Lara Logan “suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating” in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

The New York Times reports:

Lara Logan thought she was going to die in Tahrir Square when she was sexually assaulted by a mob on the night that Hosni Mubarak’s government fell in Cairo.

Ms. Logan, a CBS News correspondent, was in the square preparing a report for “60 Minutes” on Feb. 11 when the celebratory mood suddenly turned threatening. She was ripped away from her producer and bodyguard by a group of men who tore at her clothes and groped and beat her body. “For an extended period of time, they raped me with their hands,” Ms. Logan said in an interview with The New York Times. She estimated that the attack lasted for about 40 minutes and involved 200 to 300 men.

Muslim Actress Poses Nude For Playboy

Luke Ford writes:

When a Jew or a Christian poses naked or engages in intimate relations on video, her co-religionists don’t threaten to kill her for her sins.

Sure, those who take their religion seriously are disgusted by her behavior, nobody gets more riled up about women running around naked than myself, not even Osama Bin Laden, but it wouldn’t even occur to me to threaten to kill her.

I’d rather love her and gently instruct her that the queen’s power lies within.

Heck, some of us would even be willing to marry her (provided she converted to Orthodox Judaism), if only to make an honest woman of her and to save her family from shame.

I wonder if she has high self-esteem?
