So there aren't moderate muslims? That's an interesting point of view
What do you think about "men only" busses (or the separation of men and women in public transportation in general), or the separation of sepharads and ashkenazi in schools? Do you think it is a good thing?
Did you skip on my first comment here because it was too long, bub?
Never said it.
It's just that moderate is a relative word.
If those Jews were Muslims, they would be regarded to as moderates.
It's not "moderate" to segregate people
I think it's repulsive, and should be opposed.What do you think about "men only" busses (or the separation of men and women in public transportation in general), or the separation of sepharads and ashkenazi in schools? Do you think it is a good thing?

Here we go again. Women were segregated from the demonstration in Bneii Brak that means they did not partake in the 'male' only part of the demonstration. That is not to suggest women didn't lead a different demonstration, or were part of some off-shoot.

Paul, Apo. I didn't start this thread to revisit Islam-Israel back-and-forth. This isn't about Islam, there are plenty of other threads for that. Of course you can continue the sparring, but it would be more interesting to understand more about these ultra-Orthodox groups which appear to be growing into both a significant part of the Israeli population, but which also reject the authority of the secular state.
What will happen when this group constitutes close to a majority of the electorate?

My apologies.
Looking at it from a different perspective it must be quite a social economic burden with so many partaking in religious study only.

Metro - Ultra-Orthodox Israeli Jews stage mass protests against religious school integration ruling
Can any of our Israeli posters explain this demo to us? There are a few things I don't understand:
Is this a serious challenge to the authority of the secular Israeli state? A demo of 100,000 in a nation of 6 million is a BIG demo. What does this mean for the Bibi government?
- Why do they object to their daughters being educated with other Jewish girls not of European descent?
- Why are they exempt military service?
- What does it mean that the reject the Zionist state?
- Why are they exempt from paying taxes?
