The group above was probably the N'tura Karta or some Satmor Chassidim.
I don't want to get into a long discussion as to the correctness of
their actions.  My point is that amoung observant Jews, there's
a lot of people with a lot of opinions, you can't just
group them all together.

There are groups that (regretfuly, and in contradiction to the
Torah command of 'love your brother as yourself') hate non-observant
Jews, other groups that try and encourage (NOT force) these Jews
to become more observant, and there are groups who just ignore them.

Religious Jews are people too, with their own opinions and variaty.
Some people on the net like to sterotype us by the behaviour of a
few extreamists, and I feel this is not fair.  Should I make a
generalization that all southerners are bigots (no offense meant)?

Peace...
