Would the press have...Your last point interests me. Would the press have treated this item in a similar fashion if it was an Arabic, Wahhabist paper? I am not sure but, in a certain way, the reason may actually have a positive aspect to it. First, there have been jokes made in the past regarding women within this Muslim world -- so there is the possibility that the same jokes would have also emerged in such circumstances. On the other hand, there is reason to believe that the jokes may not have been forthcoming because the treatment of women in this world is a serious matter. It may be that the media could joke about women in the Chassidic world because they know that essentially women still are not treated as badly as they are in this Muslim world. Honour killings of your sister don't happen in the Chassidic world because she was raped. Second, the Chassidim are still on seen as being on our side. The media could see themselves as laughing at friends rather than an enemy -- an enemy who might even want to blow them up because they were laughed at. In the end, it may be that an Arabic newspaper would not have been treated in the same manner but it may not be because their behaviours would be more respected. It may be that the ability to laugh at the Chassidim actually indicates a certain level of comraderie, as strange as that may seem.<br /><br />Rabbi Ben HechtNishmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237299801109329429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-25124075672842672842011-05-13T12:58:59.789-04:002011-05-13T12:58:59.789-04:00Blogger is finally up again and the above comment ...Blogger is finally up again and the above comment was not me.SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704885840004960450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-36177100282014438602011-05-12T00:13:06.343-04:002011-05-12T00:13:06.343-04:00For the record I did not write the above post in t...For the record I did not write the above post in this thread.

As a non-Charedi Orthodox Jew wouldn't you want to distance yourself as far as possible from these people?<br /><br />But on the subject of Osama's defeat of Obama, I mean Obama's defeat of Osama... (Biiig difference!) XD<br /><br />I must admit, I was very relieved to learn that Osama bin Laden is dead. In fact, I haven't wet my bed since! But I fear for this country. Osama bin Laden may be dead, but I think Al Quaeda is still a threat. The Islamofascist threat has certainly not yet been neutralized. Worse still, Obama bin Biden's economic policies could potentially do more damage to this great nation than the terrorists ever could! Hussein Obama gives me nightmares. I hope I don't resume wetting the bed.<br /><br />XD<br /><br />P.S. Obama is still a douschbag!SJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10704885840004960450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-45960599191070900622011-05-11T11:22:24.876-04:002011-05-11T11:22:24.876-04:00Even the original unedited photo was only an exerc...Even the original unedited photo was only an exercise in PR. The great warrior Obama has shown no interest in bringing down other terrorist entities (nations, factions...) arrayed against the US and Israel, and often seems to encourage them.Bob Millernoreply@blogger.com
