Give me that old time religion:

I was wondering if this was going to happen. There is a small fringe group of ultra-Orthodox Israeli Jews that want to revive that esteemed Jewish cultural tradition of polygamy. That used to be pretty regular where Sephardi culture is concerned. And as expected the Ashkenazim like that tradition no more now than ever. They still think of it as a perversion of Judaism (I'm sure Abraham, Israel, David, and Solomon would be interested to know that it was in fact such a perversion). I think this if anything confirms that Christianity is not the only religion to produce cuckoolander reactionaries. Usually, though, these types *are* Christians.

SO what do you in the community think? Is this really no true Scotsmen-not Jewish? Or are these people the Israeli version of FLDS in the USA? I personally see them as Israel's FLDS and expect this to happen in Israel when Shabbatanism is confirmed as the official sect of Judaism there.

Or to Muslims, yes. But then to Christians the Jewish Messiah has already come and Muhammad was at best sorely misguided and at worst demonically possessed. The Abrahamic religions are separate religions for good reasons.
