Even in Montreal, there have been some clashes between ultraorthodox Jews and the rest of the population over things like women at public pools, for example. This in part was the trigger for a Quebec commission on reasonable accommodation that saw some heated debate and some insults flying around, along with much misunderstanding and inflexible positions. As with other fundamentalist groups, there is little compromise that can be achieved when one faction takes its marching orders from God. It's Yahweh or the highway.

The Horadrim, at times referred to as "the Order" or "the Crusaders of Light"[2] were an ancient brotherhood of magi and wizards that were formed by the archangel Tyrael to combat the three Prime Evils Diablo, Mephisto and Baal when they were banished to the mortal realm. Once mighty in number, they are now functionally extinct.

It's a joke son.

They are parasites in Israel, living off of my taxes. Just following the word of god, they say...like all parasites in human history.

Yeshiva students throughout the country are offering a new volunteer service to block laptops from connecting to wireless networks so users will not find themselves surfing the World Wide Web by accident.

The difference is that the Amish support themselves. People can live whatever backward-ass lifestyle they want as long as they aren't mooching off of others.
