If this lawsuit had something to do with muslems hanging stuff outside of their doors, I wonder how the judges would have ruled?
Obama country!!!!

I’m not Jewish and my thought is some rabbi or someone will tell me I am wrong. But it seems to me that your home is your doorway, in other words, YOUR doorway to your condo.
When I had a Jewish tenant once, she put a mezuzah on the inside of her doorpost. No problem.
I’ll tell you where I was angry with the law. I lived in walking distance of a Jewish temple, and I wanted to put that in my ad for the apartment. I was told by Newsday I couldn’t do that, because that was “discriminatory”.
I doubt that this kind of ruling would apply to a certain death cult from the middle east.
Can someone explain to me how this became a federal case about free speech? The Condo Bylaws are agreed to by private individuals. How can one claim a First Amendment case when the government is not a party to the dispute?
“t if the bylaws of the building prohibit signs and objects on outside doors”
I would imagine there may be personal animosity between the parties (the types of residents who run housing associations don’t do it to help others, generally, but from a power-related need), but hard to get beyond the above statement, if it is true here.
Are you KIDDING me? I have never heard of such a thing. In some places like when I lived in Switzerland, they would not allow you to post the mezuzah with a nail. So we used that blue sticky tacky (gum-like) substance that held it up there but could come completely and cleanly off when we moved out.
This sounds truly like discrimination since Jews MUST post mezuzot. I mean, does it take up any more space than a doorbell or knocker??
Well, dunno, I s’pose it prevents people from hanging inverted pentagrams from their lintels too, eh? I guess everybody is protected from any sort of Islamic symbols also, eh? Why in fact we’re all protected from ANY religious iconagraphy whatsoever by this ruling.
Evangelism is already prohibited in the same vein as soliciting is probibited. Physical violence against the latter would be just as frowned upon as the former. I don’t attempt to evangelize anybody after the second admonition against it; they’re on their own.
