His is shi* now not for *Enslaving Women* but rather for inciting children against their parents. For that he deserves to rot in prison for the rest of his life. Worse than *Enslaving Women*

We have loads of cults -isn’t almost every Chassdus a cult? why go after them. What is a cult – they keep women down, don’t educate their children, the leader has total control over the people etc. etc. It is unfair just to target this cult nad not the others
