Example of Judaism preying on the vulnerable? I think not. Definitely not widely accepted or condoned. Are Christian missionaries methods ever publicly scrutinized within the religion?
Everything is relative. You wouldnt consider targeting poor russian immgrants with free food, camp, private schooling etc etc. preying on the vulnerable?
But pretending to be one’s religion in order to ensnare unsuspecting people, who are trying to improve in their religion, does not happen in all religions.
Within Judaism, many consider sects that arent their own a "different religion". How many people consider the neturei karta frum jews, or the nuts in south america (dressed in all black, forgot their names), frum jews.
Going to -1 this.
If a Christian first asked if someone is Christian and then offered them literature and if the person said they are Jewish they'd wish them a nice day.
That would be the same.
Ha, that would be way better. The tefillin guys and breslov book dudes, have a very hard time saying no. I personally know someone that was working on a kiruv project and got harrased in times square, did major damage to all the efforts made.
Misrepresentation and deception can be legislated for. I didn't get the impression that that was the plan for the legislation here.
As I said, everything I wrote earlier was re missionizing not deception.
Very slippery slope. Where does that line stand? You see whats happening with the yeshiva curriculum that's currently being fought. Why wouldn't a forced program with no english be considered deception??
