I was in town to fill in the fridge this morning.
Today's Saturday, Sabbath. There's a Jewish community over my area of Greater Paris, that of Créteil / Maisons-Alfort / Alfortville.
Then I passed a bunch of people strictly dressed as supposedly Orthodox Jews.
I'm astonished by this current trend by some French Jews. They weren't used to this at all just 10 or so years ago.
My feelings about that are mixed. On one hand, I find it good that they can express themselves the way they like it.
On the other, I'm scared of a conflict, as I suspect this is all caused by the rise of radical Islam over some part of the French Muslim community, and those useless clothing rules that I dislike.
Our place was not designed for religious communities living in fear and violent rivalries.
People are supposed to live, make business and kids all together here.
It is a noticeable fact now. Whether right or wrong, we are witnessing some tough reaction of religious identities here.
If people are eventually wise enough to get together and make something spiritual, enlightened and powerful of it, to get over excessive materialism, I'll surely be the happiest dude in Paris.
But if it's only about their retarded selfish identities...
Well, I guess I'll just have to learn how to use a gun, just in case of real bad trouble.
