'Jewish patrol cars' in North London

At the moment that's how I see it, with community acceptance surely depending on how they operate over time. If they uphold the law of the land rather than religious laws, as citizens albeit in fancy dress, and resist the temptation to usurp police powers, then fine.

My initial reaction was that I thought this was a bad idea. How can I argue against say, Muslims having their own patrol cars, when it's OK for the Jewish community to have their own cars?
However lets brush aside any political correctness, which in my opinion has led to the problem of Muslin fanatics, and look at it rationally.
I have no fear, or worry of the Jewish community on this country, neither do I have any fear of any other minority community. We have many minorities in the UK, for example Sikhs, Hindus, Chinese, Lebanese, Turks. They all accept and enjoy living in the UK, they integrate with us, they are part of 'us'. I have absolutely no worries at all that they want to change the way of life in the UK. However I do have a real and warranted fear that the Muslim community in this country do not wish to integrate with our society, they want to change it, it is an alien culture to them, and they do not like it.

The Jewish community have responded to what they perceive as an imminent, and real danger to their community, and have sought to do something about it to protect themselves against unwarranted, unprovoked attacks from Muslin extremists, so I have no problem at all with seeing a Jewish patrol car driving around the streets, I am comfortable that all that are trying to do is protect themselves. But I would absolutely resent a Muslim patrol car cruising around the streets because I know that their motives are totally different.

Of course I accept that I will now be classed as a racist fruit bat, but if you disagree with me, put forward a rational argument against it, don't just insult me. How can I be racist against a religion? It's rather like labelling those who were against Hitler and nazism as being racist against the Germans.

Yep, still doesn't apply but this is aside from the issue.

ever heard of the word perception it matters not what the facts are but if people think one section is treated differently...............

Just take the hypocrisy in this thread and times it by a billion, then you wonder why we have a problem here ?

I don't have a private Police force so count me out of that !

I see fat, unfit guys in uniforms not that dissimilar to police ones driving around in cars that look like this all the time...on their way to "guard" private enterprises.

Some even have "dog patrol" and other such nonsense on them too.

Failing to see what the problem is tbh.

They have as much power as the people who ride around on motorbikes/horses wearing POLITE fluorescent vests.

Who cares ?

ETA it's a shame that the Jewish community feel they need protection over and above what the Police can provide but good on them for acting like a community.

But who could be thought of as giving the residents on GG or SH preferential treatment?

until very recentl,y and AFTER they acquired their singular ambulance, London Hatzolah were NOT CQC registered... Manchester Hatzolah have have numerous runs in with GMP one of which resulted in a successful prosecution against their members for their dubious use of warnign devices and claiming of exemptions.

unlike the Showrim Hatzolah do not work within the statutory provision framework - they explicitly work outside the legitimate 999 service.
