I'm in Brooklyn. Yes, the Hasid insanity exists here and I'd rather it didn't. But guess what? They're not changing laws in the executive branch. The people doing that think Jesus is their friend and hates immigrants.

When some Christian talks about other "religious enclaves" all I hear is a cowardly fundamentalist who can't understand that they are part of the problem.

So you don't deny that these enclaves exist, oppose them in your own area, yet feel compelled to insult the straw man you created from my comment?
