BigGolem: who gave you that name? That’s how reform judisam started. Everyone minding thier own business is not a yiddishe concept. If you see people do somthing they might not know that its not right you shouldn’t have to think its not politicaly correct if you make them aware.
I was reading a book contemporary Halachic issues and it was discussing a movie house in Netanya that was open on Shabbos.
The Ashkenazic Charedim protested every friday night for 33 weeks and a Shaila was asked of Rav Elyshiv who wholehardly endorsed it because it was Chilul Shabbos.
A Sefardic Rabbi , Rav Malca condemed the protests claiming that not only would it not stop people from going it would anger them against religion. The book commented that in Sefardic communities non-confrontational approach seems to be the norm and even if someone is not religous they respect , honor the Torah and Rabbanim and do not go to Reform or Conservative (This is in Israel not the US) and if you look at elections in Israel, The reason SHAS get as many votes as it does is not because of Charedi Sephardim, its because of non-relgious sefardim who vote for them. So their approach work at least in their communities.
