No religion has a monopoly on stupidity.
Can I ask why very orthodox women wear wigs? I understand covering the head with a scarf or a veil, covering the hair for anybody but the husband, but why cover your hair with fake hair? Couldn't that excite male interest, perhaps more than the natural hair?
What is an exclusive wig?

I think these people are on the worng side of the wall (the Palstinian one).

The Israelis seem to be a bunch of wimps.
If this happened in the US, someone would lose his temper and the police would be putting dropcloth over the bodies.
Snarky!
I've gotta preserve my image, ya know...
I think this may be a more reasonable way to combat the immodesty issue:

Me too, somebody has to be the comedian around here.....it's Friday and I'm happy to have the backup!
At least two-thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religous or political ideas. - Aldous Huxley
As a Conservative (not Orthodox) Jew who has actually studied this question slightly (I don't pretend to be an expert) I think this is all a bit of garbage. There are some die hard Orthodox Jews who believe that wigs are forbidden. There are others who believe that wigs are ok, as long as they don't look natural. And there are others (a majority) who really don't care, because the supposed prohibition in Jewish law is against displaying "nakedness" -- it's an inward focussed question of modesty rather than an outward-focussed question of generating desire. I don't want to start a Talmudic debate on FR, but I think there's little compelling reason for married women to cover their heads at all.

Yeah, those promote lust.
