North London sect bans women drivers.

[BlackLabel]

This call to LBC from someone supporting the ban is brilliant.

The British leaders of a major Chasidic sect have declared that women should not be allowed to drive.
In a letter sent out last week, Belz rabbis said that having female drivers goes against “the traditional rules of modesty in our camp” and against the norms of Chasidic institutions.

It added that, from August, children would be barred from their schools if their mothers drove them there.

According to the letter — which was signed by leaders from Belz educational institutions and endorsed by the group’s rabbis — there has been an increased incidence of “mothers of pupils who have started to drive” which has led to “great resentment among parents of pupils of our institutions”.

article said:

In response to coverage of the story, the local Belz's women's organisation Neshei Belz issued a statement to say that they felt "extremely privileged and valued to be part of a community where the highest standards of refinement, morality and dignity are respected. We believe that driving a vehicle is a high pressured activity where our values may be compromised by exposure to selfishness, road-rage, bad language and other inappropriate behaviour."

article said:

One Stamford Hill rabbi said that it had "always been regarded in Chasidic circles as not the done thing for a lady to drive".

Maybe she thought she heard the pub were recruiting someone with a Kangoo attitude.

A pity we allow religion to have such protections in law.

[citizensm1th]

Bit of a random place to put a chair, maybe she was swerving to avoid it or something.

[Pesty]

Religion mentalists all of them.

Perhaps a pity we allow religion at all.............

Shouldn't we all be going nuts.

Shouldn't the media hype be front page news.

Oh wait they're Jewish, not Muslim.

Now I understand.

[TurboHatchback]

Yep, nutters the lot of them. There must be some offence here that they could be done for, intimidation or discrimination (though I'm forgetting that only white atheists or christians can be guilty of that).

From my point of view all extremist religeous nutters are unwelcome here, whether they are are Muslims, Jews of Christians they can respectively fk off to Syria/Israel/Texas if they want to practise and spread their mental illness.

Yes...but I was kind of eluding to the fact no one else had drawn to it.

Where's Bahar Mustafa when you need her? Probably munching some carpet somewhere...

Hope these schools don't receive any state funding.
