"In some places there are separate sides of the street women have to walk on."
She says that there are signs all over some religious neighbourhoods demanding that women dress modestly.
"They throw paint and bleach at women who aren't dressed modestly and if we don't draw a line in the sand here with this seat on a bus, then I don't know what this country and this religion is going to look like in 20 years," Ms Regen said.

The stupidity of religion. Yeah we have this shit, but only in heavily orthodox religious neighborhoods and cities, cause otherwise they start bitching and moaning too much. Morons.

What I don't understand is, what is this drive towards conservatism, why do all these religious extremists or ultra orthodox types all want, basically, to live under a restrictve dictatorship where there actions are heavily curtailed and regulated? Why would you actively seek to have that imposed? Does it all really come down to something as feeble as misogyny?

because those people know that they are truly evil and since they can't actually control themselves they believe in restrictions for everyone because hell if they feel ashamed of themselves no one else should have any fun and enjoy life.

Hahah yeah I loved it. Found it weird that some fellow Israelis found it offensive. Once again, read: idiots. This country is full of them.

I downloaded the first Allman Brothers Band album yesterday evening, looking forward to listening to it - Allmusic.com loves them, it seems.

Bingo. There's a mindset that finds strict tradition, orthodoxy and custom amazingly comforting like a warm wooly blanket. Well, probably everyone does at times, depending on mood and circumstance, but some people are stuck there permanently. They're morally immature.

Although nothing is as easy as just that. It's a huge and complex thing, and it's even possible for people to be religious without that entire aspect of it. There are also many many secular ways of relieving yourself of responsibility.

“As for science vs. religion, I’m issuing a restraining order,” says a judge mediating the dispute. “Science should stay 500 yards from religion at all times!”

Certainly. You could become idolatrously attached to a particular philosopher, for instance.

Apparantly Surah an-Nur ayah 31 states:
And say to the faithful women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty except what is apparent of it, and to extend their headcoverings (khimars) to cover their bosoms (jaybs), and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their womenfolk, or what their right hands rule (slaves), or the followers from the men who do not feel sexual desire, or the small children to whom the nakedness of women is not apparent, and not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments. And turn in repentance to Allah together, O you the faithful, in order that you are successful

ok, now that right there sounds to me like it pretty much covers everyone. so, i would interpret the above to mean that the only time they should cover themselves up is on tv?
