"Hipster" Westerners

…Not Wanted In Middle-Eastern Enclave

The city’s mayor had bicycle lanes removed from the Hasidic community roads and avenues to appease the community just before last month’s election. Think this happened in the Middle-East somewhere? Think again. This disgusting display of anti-Western freedoms and cheap political expediency took place in New York City.

Seems the Hasids—as the Hasidic Jews are called in this article from the New York Post—prefer and demand their Middle-Eastern religion trump the laws, values, rights and freedoms of the West and the laws of the United States of America. This group of mentally and emotionally ill people claim their Middle-Eastern religion forbids them from staring at members of the opposite sex in various states of undress, thus making the absurd claim the bicycle riders posed a ‘religious hazard’.

First, everyone in the United States has the legal right to their own religious beliefs. They do not have the right to force those beliefs on the rest of us and that’s what happened in this incident. Secondly, the mayor—salivating over the thought of getting ‘a few more votes’—should never have sacrificed Western law to the xenophobia of the mentally and emotionally ill. I would be interested to know if the mayor’s own ethnic or religious beliefs had anything to do with his decision. Not surprisingly, the mayor is also Jewish.

Thirdly, everyone I’ve ever seen on any street or neighborhood is “in various states of undress” unless they are dressed out in some outlandish Middle-Eastern slave garb covering all but the smallest part of their face and hands.

The solution to the Williamsburg Hasidic Jew’s problems can’t be found in the United States of America if they think and demand their Middle-Eastern religious sensibilities should be respected above the laws of the West. And before you jump off into the abyss by repeating one of the Great Lies—no—Judaism and Christianity are not Western ideas and beliefs; they are Middle-Eastern in origin, not Western.

I have a suggestion. Let’s keep the laws and standards of the West intact here in the United States of America. If that idea offends your sensibilities, move to the Middle-East and practice your mental illness there. Or stay in America, enjoy and embrace our rights and freedoms while you seek professional counseling and psychiatric care to purge you of your mental and emotional problems.
