I lived in the Israeli town of Beit Shemesh for nine years. YNet reports on its takeover by fanatical ultra-Orthodox Jewish sects:

Haredi residents had hung up a sign at a shopping mall attesting to the character of the place, instructing shoppers to dress modestly. The shopping center has little traffic as it is, having to adhere to strict modesty regulations and holding limited supplies.

The local health clinic and supermarket operate separate hours for men and women. A pizza parlor owner was warned that if boys and girls sat there together in the evenings, they would suffer the consequences.

After the plaque was removed by police and local inspectors, on the grounds that it was placed there illegally, all hell broke lose. Haredi residents started throwing stones at the police, who responded by fighting back. Eight protestors were arrested and one was evacuated, unconscious, to hospital. ...

Out of a total 5,000 haredi families in Beit Shemesh, 1,500 families are from these sects.
Soon after these families moved in, a modesty revolution started: Public buses, faced by competition from haredi pirate services, get stoned; falafel and pizza shops are forced to close early in the evening. Major sidewalks are split, with one side for men, the other for women. Police were physically attacked when they tried to take a body of a person who collapsed and died on the street for an autopsy, as autopsies are forbidden by Jewish law.

Religious fanaticism comes in many forms. Maybe it's a good thing that the ultra-orthodox in Israel are exempt from military service: they're dangerous enough with sticks and stones. Their position in Israeli society is a particularly bizarre one because they shun the secular state, refuse to serve in the military, are generally not gainfully employed (preferring to study talmud full-time), and do not teach any non-religious subjects (like math and science) in their independent schools. Their effect, therefore, is to suck the state's welfare coffers dry through political whoring to the most advantageous coalition at any given time, but providing nothing constructive in return. They would literally not survive without the secular state and citizenry they so despise. And their demographics are growing at a tremendous rate. How a society can function like that in the long term, I have no idea.
