Ultra Nuts

Can there be much doubt that ultra-religious means ultra-crazy?

Right now there's a battle going on in Israel that would make Rosa Parks proud.

A woman on a bus, Tanya Rosenblit, was told to sit at the back because she is a woman but she refused.

Beit Shemesh is an area of Jerusalem filled with 80,000 ultra orthodox Jews. They want the genders to be segregated. The men of this cult showered police with eggs and rocks during a recent demonstration.

Things they don't want women to do -- be allowed to walk on the same sidewalk as men, sit anywhere they want to on a bus, and wear anything except dresses with high necks, long sleeves and calf length skirts.

Most disgracefully these zealots, comprising 'modesty patrols,' spit on young girls as they walk to school and call them whores if they are not dressed modestly enough.

What is most alarming is that the number of these extremists is growing which must mean that the men and women are having sex, lots and lots of unprotected sex. My advice would be that the segregation these men desire be carried to its maximum degree.

Close those legs, ladies.
