6. Life In Israel about the wig and the wind:

   A woman was walking in Jerusalem, and the strong winds blew the sheitel right off her head... the issue was compounded when one of the Mea Shearim thugs saw it happen, he ran over and grabbed her sheitel. Instead of returning it to her like a nice guy trying to help her get her head covered as quickly as possible, he ran away with it calling her a shiktza, saying the rabbonim said wigs are prohibited.

   And the story continues. Read it there. This is the result of over-the-top rhetoric that delegitimizes the other side in a long-standing halachic dispute.
