A Jewish Fatwa on Madonna

So, the Rabbis are on the warpath:

Rabbi Rafael Cohen, head of a seminary named after[Kabbalah school of mystics Rabbi Isaac] Luria, suggested Madonna's actions could lead to divine retribution.
"Jewish law forbids the use of the name of the holy rabbi for profit. Her act is just simply unacceptable and I can only sympathize for her because of the punishment that she is going to receive from the heavens," Cohen told Maariv.

What could have brought this Rabinical fatwa down on her head? Her new album, Confessions on a Dance Floor, is to be released on Nov. 15 and features a track entitled Isaac about Yitzhak Luria, a 16th century Jewish mystic and Kabbalah scholar.

Another rabbi called for Madonna to be thrown out of the community.
"Such a woman brings great sin on kabbalah," Rabbi Israel Deri told Maariv. "I hope that we will have the strength to prevent her from bringing sin upon the holiness of the rabbi (Yitzhak Luria)."

Now, in the Jewish tradition to which my parents adhered and in which I grew up, there may have been divine retribution, but the Rabbis didn't get to put out a hit on the sinner.
Perhaps they will take Madonna out into a field and stone her.
I could understand doing that because of her music, but not her religious beliefs, no matter how weird they may be.
Aren't the vagaries of religious belief endlessly fascinating?
