to chaverim and kilobear,
If the Turks still governed, would you obey the laws? It seems you are trying to have it both ways. If it is a secular, non halachic government, what is your justification for not obeying the law? and kilobear, where are you getting your facts from re religious zionists? Can you cite the studies? What would you and chaverim do if the zionists decided to eliminate the learning exemption and made you subject to army service?
