These sweeping statements just show how ignorant and stupid you are. If you think that secularism is a boon to the world, look around and check what and who caused the majority of bloodiest conflicts in the last 100 years.
The Orthodox “medieval” system is full of holes but in the end it produces relatively good results, even here in America where intellectual standards are extremely low and most people know neither math nor geography. Learning Talmud is both a very demanding and very enjoyable pursuit, not everybody is suitable for it but it is not the ignorant likes of you who will have a say in it. From the way you write (check the meaning of “apartheid” in the dictionary and see whether it does not apply to you narrow-minded personality) it is certain that you even ark at Darwin or Mendel, if you had a chance.

These separatist communities should really adopt the
American values, like the “melting
pot” idea, and make some effort at becoming Americans; they’re not out on
the Shtetl anymore. Also, they should learn to enjoy the personal liberty our
forefathers fought and died to establish as our American heritage. Orthodox
Jews traditionally live under the Talmudic law and within a system of
rabbinical tyranny, which can at best be described as medieval. If they are
going to vote, and vote as a block, they should adopt our culture more
sincerely. Talmidic Judaism is anything but democratic. This goes for all
foreign populations, Muslim and other, but somehow the Jews manage to keep out
of the limelight, unless violent crimes like arson, bombing, kidnapping, and
sexual abuse of children arise. In the past they have managed to keep their
dirty linen under the covers. Americans have recently voiced concern over
shariah law, and that is yet another case of for unassimilated foreigners
needing some help to integrate better. Such populations shouldn’t be allowed to vote in the first
generation if they won’t assimilate. They even send their children to special
schools (shul) where they are taught this alien law (Talmud), and in a foreign
language (Hebrew), at that. What if the Italians, Greeks, and Irish had all raised
and educated their children this way? Would they have made their terrific
contributions they have? Could the Kennedys have accomplished and contributed
as they did if they grew up speaking Gaelic and practicing such apartheid as
Orthodox Jews do?
