I guess you don't visit Boro Park or Flatbush too often...don't.That depends on your definition of a "problem"?There is no single umbrella "Islamic" culture to be blamed for the actions of various leaders and ideologues.
uhuh, suuuure. Everything is great where large groups of muslims exist.
Have you ever lived in a Muslim-majority neighborhood?
I have. Never had any problems.
Me?...I'm terrified of Hasidim asking me for money.
I will say that all of the Muslim landlords I've had have been friendlier and more responsive and responsible than the Hasidic landlords I've had.
But other than that, I've never encountered a Hasid asking for money before.
I've actually lived in Flatbush, Midwood and Crown Heights at various points in my life. I lived two blocks from 770 Eastern Parkway for 2 years.
Never once have I been panhandled by a Hasid.
