The 7 Mitzvos you are probably familiar with are by no means all inclusive. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/mayor-bloomberg-why-is-he-getting-away-with-this#post-9758 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 12:41:12 +0000 jewishfeminist02 9758@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>That's well and good for us, but CHRISTine Quinn is obviously not a Jew.

Personally I am relieved that in our great country even religiously-motivated hate speech is still recognized as hate speech. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/mayor-bloomberg-why-is-he-getting-away-with-this#post-9661 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:57:07 +0000 Joseph 9661@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>anon, indeed, epithets towards Jews do not rankle me. But that does not explain my comment. Quinn's abhorrent behavior, a fact she chose to blatantly publicize, is recognized as such by all people of moral character, Jew and Gentile. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/mayor-bloomberg-why-is-he-getting-away-with-this#post-9660 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:05:19 +0000 anon for this 9660@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Joseph, I'm not illi07, but why do you think that comment is appropriate? I'd presume from your post that you are not offended by epiphets used towards Jews, correct? And for those who argue that it's OK to call Christine Quinn a "queer" because her sexual orientation is "perverted" according to our religious beliefs, please be aware that many view our religious beliefs as the worst perversion possible. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/mayor-bloomberg-why-is-he-getting-away-with-this#post-9645 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:28:22 +0000 Joseph 9645@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Is illini07 going to threaten me (again) with a slap in the face for that comment? </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/mayor-bloomberg-why-is-he-getting-away-with-this#post-9416 Sun, 02 Nov 2008 12:00:09 +0000 Joe Schmo 9416@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Really?</p> <p>Like Ray Kelly?
