So, you recommend us to live in Israel;
Ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups in Israel would like to see gender separation in public, and some have stooped to harassing women -- and even children -- to get their way. With thousands of Israelis protesting against the growing influence of the super-religious, the rift in Israeli society is getting deeper.
It wasn't the first time that Doron Matalon had been verbally harassed on the way home. A young soldier, she had boarded a bus on Wednesday not far from the military base where she served. Shortly before reaching her stop, a 45-year-old man accosted her and demanded that she move to the back of the bus.
The man was demanding that Matalon comply with unwritten rules prescribed by ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel, decrees which require women to sit at the back of the bus or use different pedestrian routes or sidewalks than men do.
Matalon, however, had no intention of abiding by the edicts and refused to move -- out of principle as she told the Israeli daily Haaretz. And because the back of the bus was stuffy. The man immediately began insulting Matalon, calling her a whore, and others quickly joined in the harassment.

http://www.euronews.com/2011/12/26/i...rl-over-dress/A group of ultra orthodox men threw stones at a woman in Israel because she was wearing Western clothes.
The woman said she feared for her life and was afraid that the men would put her on fire.
The men jumped the car the woman was driving, smashed in its windows, poured bleach inside the vehicle and slashed all tires. When the woman tried to escape the men began throwing stones and small rocks at her.

In an effort to maintain their strictly devout lifestyle, the ultra-Orthodox have separated the sexes on buses, sidewalks and other public spaces in their neighborhoods. Their interpretation of Jewish law forbids contact between men and women who are not married.

If stoning women because of her dress, harassing 8 year old kid for same reason, separating buses for women and men, forbid women to walk in the streets is not sharia, then what is?
This is sharia on steroids.
