Also, it is very important to remember that you can’t judge a book by its cover. You can’t judge someone by the clothes that they wear. The same people who assume that people are Chareidi because of the way they are dressed would probably be highly offended if someone judged them by their dress.
Years ago, I was taking a class with a Rav who happened to have been very anti-Chareidi. One of the students was very upset about things that happened at the Kosel on Shavuos and asked him about it.
He explained, “Those people are not even Frum. They are Jews who went off the derech but dress Chareidi, so people end up thinking they are Chareidi, and judge Chareidim badly as a result. But they are not even Frum.”
So please, don’t judge people by their clothing. If you see people throwing stones at others, they are clearly not Frum! So don’t call them Chareidim. They are not Chareidi, and they don’t represent Chareidim, and in fact, the Chareidim look down on them!
(Again, I am not commenting on the specific issue at hand).
