Quick Post: Taliban *Rosa Parks

.
Shalom everyone!

I hope you are all doing well.

A little bit ago, I posted a few posts concerning Islam, Muslims and terrorism around the world. Then got called an islamophobe! An intimidation tactic meant to stop the critical thinking on this topic.

But this topic hits too close to home for me to not bring up. Not to mention that in the Jewish world I have my own modesty police, etc. to deal with. As a matter of fact I had to deal with just that a few days ago....

I, Mr Blackfirewhitefire, my mother in law and the kids, all went on the bus to head to a hotel for some fun time together. Everything went well: we got all our luggage in the bus, quickly found nice seats near the bus driver, everyone was cordial; in short a nice trip. Until about the 5th stop when the modesty police came on.

"All the women go sit in the back of the bus!!!" Shouted the self ordained nodesty police.

I groaned.

Had I known this was one of those buses that was "designated" to be a mehadrin bus -the bus where the supposedly very pious take and, in order to protect their eye from scantily cladded women (correction added: all women), request that all women sit in the back of the bus-- I would NOT have gone in. But we were already in and I had to decide if I want to comply and move to the back of the bus, or fight the Taliban.

The memory of the story of Rosa Parks kept flashing in my mind.

To be continued...
