It is as if they want to paint orthodox Jews in a negative light for their beliefs. Jewish law is similar to Islamic law regarding women singing in public. I would hope that is a feminist group of Muslim women decided to do something similar in Mecca or Medina that a stop would be put to it as well.
I was trying to say if you trade the names and religion with the incident in New York a few years back, it is almost exactly the same article. I remember having to explain at work to people who had a very hard time to understand why the women cannot give the call to prayer.
