Well, i like how you are so easy on them.. If they had been Islamic extremists what would you have said?
I bet you I could find something in their Koran that supported the whipping even if it is barbaric. Happens all the the time in Muslim lands with a woman being caught with a non-relative or being stone to death for being raped.
The mixed audience needed the whipping more than the singer.
The whip was made from ASS and BULL, and so was the ruling! In a way they are lucky they are Jewish and not Moslems, since Apostates and heretics are still put to death over there! these guys are no way mainstream jewish!

Ummm. I have read the bible and don't recall this law in the old testament....
