The Brazilian government can extradite a fugitive rabbi to Israel where he is accused of burning and cutting toddlers as part of a purification ritual, the Supreme Court said Friday.
Elior Noam Hen and several followers allegedly used knives, hammers and other instruments to abuse children 3 and 4 years old. He faces charges of child abuse, violence against minors and conspiracy.
The Court found there was cause for Hen to stand trial for allegedly subjecting eight children to "intense physical and mental suffering because they were supposedly possessed by the devil."
...Hen, who allegedly acted with four other people, was arrested in Brazil in June 2008 after a 45-day manhunt. Police did not say how or when he and his family arrived in the country.
The rabbi allegedly hit the children in the head and face and burned their hands, the court said. One child sustained permanent brain damage and is in a vegetative state.

Some one should take a sledgehammer to that guys's knee caps, scissors to his testicles, and a hot iron to his face. Then afterwards through a bunch of ants on top of him. Only a punishment as sadistic as that would be fitting for this anal wart of a human.
I'd like to see someone take off this bastard's pants, place his nuts on a shop bench, then take a ball peen hammer and...
If it doesn't kill him, then repeat the process until it does.
Parachute him into downtown Tehran in broad daylight dressed as an Israeli paratrooper with a uzi superglued to each hand. (with no bullets of course)
I'm sure they will find something creative to do with him and it wont be on the Israeli's hands.
I challenge any religious person to provide evidence that a mentally balanced person's atheism or agnosticism drove him or her to do something like this. Likewise, I challenge any nonreligious person to provide similar evidence that a mentally balanced individual's religious beliefs led him or her to do something like this.
A person's religious beliefs (or lack thereof) has little influence on what that person does when it comes to batshit stuff like this. Religious beliefs can totally be a manifestation of mental illness, but at the end of the day, this guy (or his illness) is still solely responsible for his actions. If he wasn't religious, twenty bucks says he would've done it because of something else equally outlandish--aliens, the Illuminati, chemtrails, "bad vibes", "voices", quantum phenomena, or something even more insane.
Another ADR (Abrahamic Derivative Religion) fundy child abuse story...who'd a thunk it?
Since this particular whack-job is of the jewish flavor, I vote for the good old OT punishment...stoning.
I have a rock handy...
How is it that criminally insane sociopaths like this one seem to rise to positions of authority time after time? You would think that someone would notice what a complete shithead this asshole was before it came to this. Are there really so many people who don't know that, just because someone screams for authority, it's not automatically a good idea to give it to them?
As for the superstitious idiot parents of these poor kids, someone should fill their mouths with salt and sew them shut. They're obviously mindless zombies!
Am I the only one here who gets the feeling that if this guy hadn't been in the position he's in, he would have run around snatching kids to do this to. He's a sadist, and rather than his religion causing his mental disturbance, he used his religion and his position in that religion to have access to his victims. In this case, I don't blame the religion, I blame the sick son of a bitch that was beating the kids.
But Jesus will forgive him, he's really really sorry.
Oops, wrong religion. Doesn't Judaism demand an eye for an eye?
You know, if Hell does indeed exist, there is a certain level of Hell specifically reserved for monsters like this. If not, then I propose we exact the punishment they'd receive in that circle up here.
@Canadiest
Wow, someone's -accused- of a crime, not even gone through the court systems yet, and people are already calling for testicle scissors and mutilation.
Give yourselves a pat on the back guys, you're really showing those fundies who the rational ones are.
I have to say, this is the first incidence of Jewish fundiness I've seen. Muslim and Christian, yes. Jewish, not so much until today.
@Wandering Discordian
I think that's psycho enough I guess, I may have a low tolerance for delusional pain-inflicters.
Only after due legal process of course. Then burn him
to fundiesrtehlulz, i guess that no-true-scotsmen thing may be expected, but that is very weird since the whole devil and demonic possession thing are christian, and not part of judaism at all. but still, yeah, same fucked up shit that can only be rationalized by some supernatural impetus
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
