It getting harder and harder to tell jews and muslims apart

[hnumpah]

Why? If you will look at the laws for women and their treatment in the Old Testament and those in the Quran, they are very similar - modest dress, obedience and subservience to men, punishments for adultery and so on. They are not so different.

Ok
One difference is judaism will likely shrink in the future,while islam will grow. Kinda hard to maintain numbers of you don't recruit.

The ultra-Orthodox are typing to set records for reproduction. But they are a small part of the Jewish population. You are right, the Muslims will grow faster. In numbers, there will be growth in the Jewish population, but in percentage terms, the Muslims will increase.

the ultra-orthadox will be a liability, I just can`t see them playing nice with the neighbors so eventaully more conflicts will happen . I have doubts they`ll get too much control since the diversity of isreal is very high. pork is eaten there and the ultra-orthdox has no say in the matter,ever.

[Xavier_Onassis]

The ultra-orthodox are mostly all on welfare, paid a salary and given free housing by the Israeli government to study the Torah, which is probably not all that an essential activity, since it has been studied constantly for several thousand years. They have huge families, and their wives don't work. Then they retire at 60 and get a pension, also from the Israeli government. Most of their children also become Torah scholars and baby-making machines. It is clearly an unsustainable system.
