there's something seriously wrong when you can make a general comment like this about all muslims with total impunity, but you're immediately thrown out when you make a specific comment like this about a specific sect of jews. you need to be careful when you're speaking on the topic. but, this is less offensive (and less wrong) than positions taken by romeo saganash and other quebec ndp candidates because it is specific rather than general.

i mean, if i said something like "isis militants are misogynists", nobody is going to argue with me. there are radical, violent and racist jewish sects - just as there are radical, violent and racist muslim and christian sects.

the whole point, here, is the need to isolate specific subpopulations, rather than generalize across entire faiths.
