Funny enough you can find similar hateful arcane living rules for Christians.
One of the better illustrations (humour) of this can be found here http://www.mg.co.za/zapiro/imagePage.aspx?YearId=2 006%7CMonthId=11%7CDayId=23, where Zapiro ask a biblical authority (Rev. Kenneth Meshoe) for clarification to some of the rules laid out too long ago to have any meaning.
Looks pretty much like the citations used to frame Islam and the Muslims, only from the bible (Leviticus and Exodus).
Among the issues are the legal sale of daughters, keeping of slaves from neighbouring countries, death penalty for working on the Sabbath, cutting your hair and wearing cloth made from more than one type of material. All serious issues!
I do not think that any religion has much to say over any other when it comes to finding embarrassing and discriminating statements. What matters most is who and how it is practised today, and in this respect stupidity can be found everywhere.
