Read more. In Israel the ultra Orthodox are pushing for Taliban-like restrictions. The linked article is mostly about how they try to force women to sit in the back of the bus. They also try to force modesty rules on women and won't accept girls getting an education beyond high school. The article notes that these extremists rioted for weeks over a planned gay pride march and led a boycott against El Al airline for flying on the sabbath.

Just goes to show there are extremists in all religions.
