betcha can't do that without using stereotypes.
Why do you need to stereotype? Can't you just compare a mostly religious Jewish area with Jews in general?
Then you can look at why there is more in that area. As if we didn't know.

It's like community x who has extreme issues amongst themselves and they murder each other...They scream to the world that it is dangerous for them simply to be alive and something must be done to stop this. However, there's a limit to how much others can help them if they don't fix their internal issues first.
Are the stats higher for community x? Sure.
Internal issues?

Internal issues?
Absolutely!
Are we living on different planets or do we just see/hear/believe what we each want to?

So try it lets see if you can. Previous attempts of yours (or maybe some of your "friends") were unsuccessful and I had called it out at the time. I would need @TimT to find them though.

Open it, I dare you.

There, you done gone and did it. Can't let it go now.

Please elaborate: why would there be more hate crimes against religious Jews than non-religious Jews?

Poor Black communities have more violent crime - they tend to be areas with more gangs, drugs, abuse etc.  Since these also tend to be more populous areas, a disproportionate percentage of Blacks live in those areas.  These are also the areas where police feel under attack - literally and figuratively, causing them to overreact in many instances.

So you have, in a relatively small are, inhabited largely by Blacks, several risk factors - drugs, abuse, gangs, and police overreaction. 

Is it any wonder that being Black is more dangerous?

Now, for just a minute, leaving all of the socioeconomic factors in place, remove color from the picture.  In other words, if all of these areas were mixed - with the percentages of each race being equal - would it be more dangerous to be Black, or just more dangerous to be in those areas?

Religious Jews, on the other hand, are targeted simply for who we are.  Too many political and religious leaders throughout history have demonized us, and far too many people still believe them.  We do not live in high crime areas, nor do we have the other socioeconomic issues that make life so dangerous for Blacks, and yet we are disproportionally attacked. 

Compared to Blacks, we may be safer, but we are hardly safe.
