“This is the Talibanisation of my religion”

February 12th, 2007

I was stunned this morning while driving to work, listening to a story on NPR about a lawsuit in Israel, brought by Jewish women who have been harassed by ultra-Orthodox Jews during bus rides. The story can be heard here.

Gender segregation? The assertion that women should not be educated beyond high school? Fundamentalist Judaism sure sounds a lot like Fundamentalist Islam.

    Absolutely appalling. Not that this means we should take it upon ourselves to go in and fix the problem. However, it’s a giant step backwards and just another reason to lose faith in Fundamental Judaism.
