Some terrified that mere perception of impropriety could ruin their lives
Oct. 4, 2008
JERUSALEM - In Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, where the rule of law sometimes takes a back seat to the rule of God, zealots are on a campaign to stamp out behavior they consider unchaste. They hurl stones at women for such "sins" as wearing a red blouse and attack stores selling devices that can access the Internet.
In recent weeks, self-styled "modesty patrols" have been accused of breaking into the apartment of a Jerusalem woman and beating her for allegedly consorting with men. They have torched a store that sells MP4 players, fearing devout Jews would use them to download pornography.
In before Richard Dawkins guy.
People in Israel should lobby their MPs at the Knesset to bring in laws to make the activities of these zealots illegal - ON PAIN OF DEATH. Forced liberalism. I'm a reverse-reactionary, so I have no problem with this concept. Just as Fundy Christians should be hunted down & publicly tortured to death; for what they've done in the US, they should be considered Public Enemy No. 1. Just as 'Communist' was a dirty word in the 20th Century, 'Right-Winger' should be the new dirty words in the 21st. It's been right-wingers who've screwed up America, therefore the US needs a healthy dose of Reverse-McCarthyism. Witchhunts & show-trials to generally destroy anyone remotely Republican.Just as Israel should be (and Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria etc), USA needs to be LEFT-WING, in word, action & thought.

I like most Jewish people. I hope they'll find peace someday.I tried reading what was going on in Israel, but gave up after 5mins. I'll leave it that way.
Impossible. Wild zealots are a muslim-only phenomenon. This article must be a lie by antisemitist and those who would want to drive Proud Israel into the sea.

>>8969Because you can totally judge 100% of America by a single event in one part of the country as reported by a UK internet site, and that said UK site not pointing out the irony could in no way say anything about non-Americans, amiright?By doing this the prosecuters are arguably commiting a worse crime than the law was intended to discourage. There is no possible excuse for doing one's job with such selfish malice. Also, it is things like this that seriously discredit the meaningfulness being registered as a sex offender, so in addition to taking advanage of children they are working to destroy the system intended to protect them. That, imo, is the true irony here.
