Monsey, NY: August 10,
2005:
Orthodox
Jews Oppose Assemblyman Dov Hikind’s
Racial Profiling
A contingent of Rabbis, representing Orthodox
Jews in New York, will assemble, with
the Almighty’s help, on the steps
of the City Hall of New York to bring
to the
attention
of the public that we are in ABSOLUTE
OPPOSITION to Assemblyman
Hikind's
views on the use of Racial Profiling by
the New York City Police
Department.
His views are his alone and in no way
represent the views of Orthodox Judaism
or Orthodox Jewry.
His approach is deeply insulting to us
and to the highly respected Arab
Community.
We maintain an ongoing, close and friendly
relationship with the Arab and Muslim Communities
in the United States and abroad and we
take Hikind’s statements as a personal
affront.
We totally applaud the New York State
Police Department in its swift rejection
of Hikind’s proposal.
We pray to the Almighty for speedy world
peace and justice. Amen.
A press conference will be held on the
steps of the City Hall, New York City,
NY on Thursday, August 11, 2005 at 12:30pm.
