Reader comment on item: Stop the NYC Madrassa
Submitted by Herbert Burack (United States), Aug 15, 2007 at 15:13
Daniel Pipes exposed this NYC soon-to-be-fiasco four months ago in the NY Sun. Since then, there has not been a single peep about this. That is until Rabbi Joesph Potasnick, on ABC's radio "Religion-on-the-Line" discussed it on his Sunday morning show. It was brought to Mayor Bloomberg's attention and his answer was: "Boo me at the next NYC parade. The School will open in September". What is happening in Europe will happen here in the US as well. How long will one group be catered to?
