Makes good viewing a perfect example of how crazy human beings can become in the name of religion

in fact the afghans -pashtuns are Jews.

there is some defect in the parents’ perception of ways of life, and ordered 2 girls ( 13 & 16) be returned to Israel from north of a Montreal of the Lev Tahor sect under a Mr. Elbarnes. Canadian Immigration officials intervened their arrival and sent them back to Israel under their request. The girls’ great-uncle had petitioned for the writ out of concern that the girls safety and welfare were at risk. If the court rules the lifestyle is illegal or inappropriate, social welfare agencies would be empowered to remove children in the Lev Tahor community from their parents’ care.

Surprising that its taken the Haredi community so long to react. This phenomenon should have been denounced by the rabbis years ago before the child victims were too damaged

sorry !

...they send their children to the Haredi schools. Regarding the women who won't have intercourse with their husbands at all, the approach would be divorce. The father not seeing their daughter also has the same solution. But the part that is most overt is fine; it is fine to completely cover the face in my opinion. Gives the teenage boys one less reason to sin.

I personally think both are vile and disgusting but I am just pointing out the obvious.

That which the Left worships above all else, even causing themselves to violate human rights of others, act un-democratic, and break numerous domestic and intl laws...all for the sake of their "religion" where they claim the higher moral ground.

also in the NYC area with the Neturei Karta. Infact, some of the practices of these "Taliban" women are practiced among NK, and several groups helped to smuggle out members who were forced to join and give up their basic freedoms.

the same lunacy . i think its simply a testament to how wrapped up human can become in their own world

I applaud the campaign against the Taliban Moms, but regret that it took so long to gain momentum. Perhaps they could have nipped it in the bud years ago. Rabbis should put in cherem anybody advocating this aberrant distortion of Judaism. It is very dangerous for such distortions to be given legitimacy and the chance to spread.

In what way are Afghan Pashtuns Jewish? 1. Do they observe laws of kosher? 2. Do they observe laws of famility purity 2. Do they observe the Sabbath (on Friday/Satursday) 3. Do they believe that in the 7th principle of Rambam (meaning that Musa is the humblest of all prohets before and after him; i.e. that Jesus and Mohamed are not prophets) Do not bother answering because the answer is "No" thereby making them not Jewish.

these people are brainwashed by a leader who runs a cult, no different than any other cults it just happens to be in Jerusalem among the more accepted cults of society.

And they will destroy State of Israel if we do not stop them .

I am glad that late but at least haredim has started taking their steps in right direction. Now when will they decide to take action against the separation throwing woman like black people in 60's at the back of the bus? And those separate footpaths who does not allow a family to walk as a family? And all those who are calling 6 year olds ____?? And all those who are throwing stones at little kids? And all those who is taking part in riots and destroying public property? And all those who wants to bring the polygamy back? And those who do not want to recognize the rights of this country? And those who are milking the country? The list goes on and on and on. The haredi community has lot to catch on....

Do they have Jewish mothers? Yes Therefore, they ARE Jewish.

People wouldnt belive how ridiculous these people can be.

Israeli jews always looked down and rediculed muslims. Now they have taliban among them.

Its called a psychiatric ward. Instead of burqas, they will be wearing straight jackets. Like Arab terrorists and people with a critical mental disorder, they shouldn't be allowed to get married and reproduce at all until they are completely recovered.They are a menace to society and deserved to be condemned for their psychotic behaviors. In this case, they need a shrink more than they need a Rabbi.

Totally disgusting that you think it is okay for girls to be completely covered because boys are unable to control themselves-- The problem is the boys they are the ones that need to correct their behavior. Stop blaming and putting the burden of their issues on women. Grow up!!!!!

and for the blind and for the ignorant. Look at what it is doing to us. Look at how it corrupts the soul, the mind and affects the lives of entire communities. Religion, all religion, must be stopped. For it is nothing more than a distraction, at most times, a thorn in our hearts, the tears of our eyes, a pebble in our shoe. Religion is relatively new compared to human existence. The Torah dates back some 4000 years, whereas humans have inhabited this earth for far longer than this. Religion, all religions, including this one truly has nothing to do with the Grand Architect of the Universe, (aka:Elohim, Adonai, Yaweh) - or in other words, with that abundant source of energy which maintains perfect order in the Universe, vibrating pure love. Religion must end if we wish to evolve spiritually, as a single human race, without cruel borders, liberated from social injustice and free to love, help, love and learn from one another.

"Eda Haredit rabbis realized that those women had blown the modesty issue out of proportions. According to some of the testimonies, the women refuse to have sex with their husbands (except in very special cases)..." So this has been going on for -- how long? -- and the Eida Haredit rabbis only woke up to it when the women refused to have sex? Ya' gotta love it.

what the hell are you saying?

If there is one thing atheism is NOT, it's a cult. There are atheists all over the world, with backgrounds in every religion. Their only commonality is that they don't believe in a deity. Their only "organizations" lobby to protect the civil rights of non-believers on the same level as those of believers. They do not proselytize. They don't need to. There is no goal and there are no membership drives. Secular humanists (which is what most if not all atheists are) value morality and ethics because we believe that this is the only life we have and that we had better make the most of our time on earth. There is nothing else, no god, no afterlife, no holy writings, unless scientifically proven otherwise.

With very sophisticated indoctrination and punishing mechanisms. People who are religious are labled as primitive and weak. Anybody who dares to become religious is immediately ridiculed and ostracised and may very quickly loose his job. The Atheists have put legal systems in place that are beyond the means of the man in the street. A person who does not hire a lawyer at very high cost will end up loosing. The knowledge is not available except to those that have been accepted to law school and paid. These are the signs of a cult.

Like the Shakers in the US, they'll eventually non-breed themselves into extinction
