e.g. lack of civil marriage, gives the orthodox control over the conversion process, the ultra-orthodox are allowed to mooch off everyone else, forbids women from offending the fundyclowns at the western wall, etc.

Just marriages which are left up to each individual religious rules (Jewish, Muslim, Christian, etc).

The government is secular. The legal code is a secular one.

Not to mention theocratic garbage like this:

Are they also fundyclowns?

Women actually get arrested by the Israeli government if they defy the ultra-orthodox Taliban fundyclowns--who have the power of the state behind their primitive, male supremacist edicts-- by wearing prayer shawls there.

That doesn't happen in places that aren't theocracies.

Are they fundyclowns?

Muslim women are not allowed to pray in mosques with men, they are supposed to pray at home.

If they out women in jail for disobeying religious authorities then yes they are theocratic fundyclowns.

That's the way Saudi Arabia rolls.

They are separated and encouraged to pray at home.

in public places?

They certainly don't do that in the modern democracies of the world.

And I didn't see any women praying with the men, they are restricted to "special" sections.

Eta apparently muslim women are "encouraged" to not go outside much less into a mosque.

to stay away from the Mosque. It seems you are choosing to listen to the more orthodox versions of Islam. You can probably get the same message about the proper place for women if you ask a Rabbi from Mea Shearim in Jerusalem.

The point I'm trying to make is that you can get different versions of what goes depending on whom you ask.

Who are some of the leaders of that movement?

(from subheading “Reform”):
The reform movements of Islam, like Reform Judaism, are movements within their parent religion, rather than an attempt at schism. They seek to adapt a traditional religion to more liberal, human-rights oriented values, like Reform Judaism does with Judaism.

Reform Muslims, like their more orthodox peers, believe in the basic tenets of Islam, such as the Six Elements of Belief and the Five Pillars of Islam. They consider their views to be fully compatible with the teachings of Islam, though many of the scholars of traditional Islam disagree. Their main differences with more conservative Islamic opinion are two, the first is, in differences of interpretation of how to apply the core Islamic values to modern life, the second includes a more reactionary dialectic which criticizes traditional narratives or even rejects them, hence, denying any obligation to follow them while also allowing greater freedoms in interpreting Qur'an regardless of the hadith.

There are two citations given for the info in that paragraph and both of them go to broken pages ("account has been suspended" and "item not found&quot .

Do you have any actual sources? A book maybe? Or a website home for an organization for Reform Islam?

For example, with Reform Judaism there are sources like:

http://www.reformjudaism.org

http://www.reformjudaismmag.org

That sort of thing.

(The Wikipedia paragraph with the broken links mentions Reform Judaism a few times which is why I use that example as well).

The concepts that are mentioned in the article ought to give enough hints about what to look for. I'm not that interested in that particular subject. Muslims come in all shapes and colors.

What do you think about the OP? Is Israel really the 8th most secular country in the world?

Google and Wikipedia can't hold a candle to a knowledgable person actually recommending a book or a website.

I'd love for anyone else who can point me in the right direction to chime in if they can.

Looking more closely at the Wikipedia entry, it looks like someone just added that paragraph comparing it to Reform Judaism off the top of their head because they thought the two seemed similar.

The reliability of Wikipedia as a source in certain areas is very poor.

It's pretty sad that people use it as a "go to" source on topics when much of the material is unsourced or worse.

"The Google" is an equally lazy means of trying to get serious information on a topic.

Only Muslims are allowed to pray there.

You obviously don't know what a theocracy is.

Maybe pay a visit to Saudi Arabia?

Why do women need a rabbi's permission to get divorced from their husband if he doesn't consent?

and the courts have stated that they can wear tallesim, tfillin and read from the torah.

Only the Haredim recognize the religious courts, so your question is a red herring.

Question, is Canada a Christian theocracy?

isn’t necessarily a religious one. Perhaps, in the future, we will see less people like Naftali Bennett in the Knesset.
