Wrong. Anyone can commit a crime, and Orthodox Jews are no exception. They can and do commit crimes.

In your case, you see a lot of crime committed in those prices they charge at kosher restaurants! OMG!!!!!!!

No person acting in accordance with the true nature of their faith would commit such a horrible hate crime. Most of the world's religions have some version of the Golden Rule, which is considered a governing principle.

That said, extreme branches of the three major faiths (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) have all encouraged and carried out atrocities against the LGBT community.

Huh? So all the Jews in the Torah who killed others under orders from G-d just because those others were a certain other ethnic group (or whatever) were not acting in the true nature of their faith???? The orders came directly from G-d!!!! Doesn't get more true nature than that! Why is it so hard to believe that there are some things in this world that are so bad that committing 'hate crimes' becomes a justifiable response?

I think you're on weaker ground here than with CMM. If an adherent of a religion violates the commandments of the religion, you can say they are not acting in the true nature of their faith.

It's not like saying you're not a Scotsman because Scotsmen can't commit horrible crimes. It's like saying you're not a law abiding Scotsman.

I disagree. The tenets of religion are subject to interpretation. It's just that people who are moral but also religious have to fit their religion into their morality and ignore the fact that their God is described by their own holy books as a genocidal monster.

The Catholic Church actually has a clever way of dealing with that issue. The dubious passages of the Bible are never read at services and never taught in ordinary religious education. (I'm sure you'd read them if you took a class in the Old Testament at Fordham, say.) So most Catholics don't consciously realize they are there. I still get a bit shocked when I see a quote of one of the more egregious passages.

Not true at all. Orthodox Jews have no problem admitting what G-d says or has said about killing various people or groups of people or entire nations. We're not ashamed of it and for the most part, most don't disagree with it.

Only if we are living in a time period where G-d is performing open miracles (that's the simple description - your local Orthodox rabbi can explain in more detail) AND something resembling 'hate crimes' is listed in the Torah as the appropriate action against someone who is "gay". We're definitely not living in the former and I'm not aware of anything in the Torah concerning the latter. So I guess the answer is NO! As if it actually would have been yes, LOL! You so silly!

No, not only is my religion very moral, but it is the moral standard for the world. In other words, it's OK to annihilate a nation if they are so bad that G-d directly and very clearly says to annihilate them. Note that there are other religions, or extreme version of other religions, out there who believe in annihilation but don't have such high standards for seeking approvals for carrying out the annihilation.

Morals are all subjective. They have to come from somewhere. Jews believe that morality came from G-d. You seem to believe that people just know it when they see it and that whatever morals you currently hold are the correct ones.

Correct. People didn't stop doing bad things when G-d went into "hiding". Just because we don't have authorization to fully respond to said bad people doesn't mean that what they are doing is still bad enough to warrant a severe response should we at some point gain permission to do so. You claimed that nothing can justify such a response and I'm showing why you are wrong. Furthermore, I said nothing about justifying what Schliessel did. You were speaking in general terms and so was I. We both were not speaking only of Schliessel. Seriously, do you think that marching in a parade while dressed inappropriately, or watching people do that, is an offense that merits death? Get real. Why in the world would I justify that? If I justified that, don't you think I'd be in the loony bin by now? Do you think I'd still have at least partial custody of my three beautiful children???

16-year-old stabbed in Jerusalem pride parade succumbs to wounds
Shira Banki was critically wounded in an attack by an ultra-Orthodox man on Thursday; Netanyahu: She died for bravely supporting everyone's right to live in dignity.

By Yaniv Kubovich | Haaretz

Three days after being critically wounded by an ultra-Orthodox man that went on a stabbing rampage at Jerusalem's Gay Pride Parade, Shira Banki, a 16-year-old Israeli teen succumbed to her wounds Sunday afternoon. Five other people were wounded in the attack.

Police confirmed that the suspected stabber is Yishai Schlissel, a Haredi man from Modiin Ilit who stabbed three participants in the 2005 Gay Pride march. He was recently released from prison after serving a 10-year sentence.

Banki was a high-school student from Jerusalem, studying at the Hebrew University High School. She took part in Thursday's parade to show solidarity with her LGBT friends. She is survived by her parents and three siblings; her family decided to donate her organs.

In a statement issued Sunday, her family said: "Our magical Shira was murdered because she was a happy 16-year-old – full of life and love – who came to express her support for her friends' rights to live as they choose. For no good reason and because of evil, stupidity and negligence, the life of our beautiful flower was cut short. Bad things happen to good people, and a very bad thing happened to our amazing girl. The family expresses hope for a less hatred and more tolerance." The family requests the public respect their privacy as they grieve.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent his condolences to Banki's family, and said she died "because she bravely supported everyone's right to live their life in dignity and security." "We will not allow a despicable killer to undermine the shared values underpinning Israeli society," he added. "We vehemently reject that attempt to spread hatred and violence and will work to prosecute the murderer to the full extent of the law."

As of Sunday afternoon two of those wounded in the attack alongside Banki were still in serious condition and remained hospitalized, though medical officials said their condition was improving. Three of the other people wounded in the attack were released home after suffering lighter injuries.

Opposition Chairman Isaac Herzog (Zionist Union) also issued a statement, saying Banki was a victim of "Jewish terror". "I cry for Shira… she is the age of my children. We will not tolerate violence, racism or LGBT-phobia of any kind," he said, reiterating his demand that the prime minister outlaw extreme right-wing groups which he said "incite hatred" in Israel.

Education Minister Naftali Bennett (Habayit Hayehudi) said in a statement: "It's a dark day for Israel… in which a high school girl is murdered for her opinions and positions." "There is no principle in the world worth the life of a young girl," said Bennett, who was supposed to address an LGBT rally Saturday evening, but canceled after refusing to sign a commitment to act on behalf of the gay community. This is "a day in which we became darkness unto the nations instead of a being light unto the nations," he added.

On Saturday, thousands of Israelis took to the streets to protest the stabbing as well as a deadly arson attack in the West Bank that saw a Palestinian infant killed. "Flames have engulfed our country," President Reuven Rivlin said at the rally in Jerusalem's Zion Square. "Flames of violence, flames of hatred, flames of false, distorted and twisted beliefs."

An estimated 10,000 people turned up for a rally in Tel Aviv's Gan Meir, which was already planned to mark six years since two people were killed in a shooting at Barnoar, a Tel Aviv gay youth center. Former Israeli president Shimon Peres was also in attendance.

The attacker, Schlissel, was sentenced for 12 years in prison for the 2005 attack after his conviction on charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault. However, in 2007, following an appeal, the Supreme Court mitigated his sentence to 10 years. He was deemed sane and fit to face trial on Friday.

After his release, Schlissel returned to his hometown, where residents said that he distributed hand-written pamphlets in which he called on "all Jews faithful to God" to risk "beatings and imprisonment" for the sake of preventing the parade.

As opposed to religion where your morality is based on whichever work of ancient* fiction you like best?

*Or modern fiction if you're a Mormon.

In other words, it's OK to annihilate a nation if they are so bad that G-d directly and very clearly says to annihilate them.

How do I know I'm hearing God and not voices in my head associated with paranoid schizophrenia?

What if President Huckabee and his entire cabinet say God has told them to destroy Israel so that the second coming can take place?

Because during the times described in the Torah, and during select times after, ending with the destruction of the Second Temple, G-d's presence was pretty obvious and well known and the proff could be (and was) seen by many people.

What if President Huckabee and his entire cabinet say God has told them to destroy Israel so that the second coming can take place?
From the Jewish perspective, that would be a bunch of baloney. Christians may believe it though. I don't know how their prophet/prophesy system works.

Sounds more like president obama or his former Secretary of state.
