Pamela Geller is an idiot for so many reasons. But it just happens that the Jewish community in part of NYC is harassing people as well so why point a finger at French Muslims? The same community has gender segregated buses.

But what explains the ongoing opposition to bikes in this very religious corner of Brooklyn? Previous press reports have suggested the primary issue is modesty, particularly concerns about the attire of women bikers.As the surrounding neighborhoods gentrified over the past two decades, more bikers began to traverse the insular area.

I'm glad to hear Claire's Brixton story from the 80s if only because it shows how far we've come. My good friend (white, as seems relevant to this particular discussion) lives in Brixton now. Went to meet him last summer and caught a late tube home with my then 4 year old daughter. No trouble whatsoever. The area is pretty nice now with a lot of "trendy" restaurants etc. but more importantly it is very much multicultural.
What does the article you linked has to do with OP's article? Why did you have to suddenly bring the Jews into it? You could have just mentioned her name and said that you think she's an idiot. Why did her faith suddenly came into play here? So a person who happens to be Jewish can't write about people of different religions now?

Sure they can. But the word anti-semite is a lot more powerful than islamophobe or whatever they call it. Think about this .. and think hard.
Fair game calling out a person's religion when they're crapping on someone elses religion?
What not to believed it was in all French media/Tv ? And the 30 days is real as show on the sick leave certificate of the man. For info in the same city in June a girl got attack by a group of 54 very braves men for wearing a short.
