Israel Modesty Buses

by

I wonder what’s the difference between religious extremism in Israel and Afghanistan after going through this article.

Israel’s modesty Buses

I do understand till where it says that the modesty buses are a way of maintaining the modesty level in the society, by avoiding public contact of men and women. This does make sense when a man and woman are not married to each other. But the part, where husband’s leave their wives to move to other part is an overkill. If you are already married to a woman, even if you are sitting with her in a bus, what kind of a social norm or religious law are you breaking ?

If people in Afghanistan ask their women to cover themselves up is religious extremism then I think its the same where you put up signs to make them wear modest clothes. Either both of them are extremism or neither of them.

However, I would really like to read the comments of Israelites here. Because I am very well aware of the propaganda these news sites put up at times. It could be something really normal in Israel which they just exaggerated here.
