For those that dont know, thats the ultra-orthodox branch of Judaism.
Think dreadlocks,shaved heads on the women covered by scarves,tights and fur ringed hat on the Rabbi.
Can you imagine what this country will be like if the terrors start little bombings all over Jewish locales here?
Note to Administration: Round up all illeagal ME's and deprt them now!
