Jewish religious zealots attack 'immodest' Jerusalem shops

Bob I am being consistent. I consider it terror when someone scrawls a swastika on a synagogue, or the KKK burns a cross, or shop windows get smashed because you dislike what the shop’s selling, whether the shop’s in Quetta or Jerusalem. If a scantily clad woman walked by them they would curse and spit at her or worse, just like the Taliban in Miranshah. They are religious zealots trying to control other people. If the shop sells CD’s they don’t like then the taliban intimidate the shop owner. Before Zia al Haq, those movements were small and Pakistan International Airways stewardesses were portrayed like this in Ads. Things changed a lot by allowing a small group of zealots free reign too long, now Pakistan’s crows are home to roost. It’s violence and misogyny to intimidate someone they disagree with. In my books the KKK, IRA, MEK, Kahanists, Shining Path, Black Bloker’s, and Sikikrim are all terrorists - I try to be consistent and I don’t quibble about degrees once people start breaking laws to intimidate. If they thought they could get away with burning the shop down, they would.

In Pakistan there were lots of people telling the Taliban to knock it off. That didn’t happen, and I continue to see these articles so it’s a continuing thing.
