Of course. Secular people never commit crimes. (And if you are trying Judaism bashing- even his practices that were legal (such as multiple partners) went against Jewish law.

sadly, it seems that some of the poor women are still under his control.

WHY are religious Jews and the holier-than-thou black hats SILENT? WHY? Black-Hats don't read YNET. so they can NOT be blamed for thier silence. Religous Jews?? I don't understand why these people are silent, A uproar, a condemnation, a severing of whatever ties that connect a Jewish Pervert should evoke a response from a religious Jew. moshe

This evil man and his accomplices have finally been made to face justice in a Court of Law. I hope he gets put away for a long stretch, and his fellow criminals give him a hard time! Now we have to hope that the female and child victims can be helped by medical and social workers to re-enter normal mainstream society.

Surely this calls for the introduction of the death penalty. Not only has this monster abused women he has abused children sexually which in all cases should be met with death. Sadistic paedofiles like this should be publically put to death. There is NO place for this behaviour in Judaism or any religious following and must be stamped out completely.

Religious or secular, as individuals the propensity for violence, greed and downright evil cannot be the sole province of either; however the point that #1 I believe was attempting to make is the hypocrisy of religion, its adherents and so called leaders. Secular's generally rely on their common sense and conscience to dictate how they should behave not some obscure, irrelevant superstition from eons ago.

religious and non religious. BUT seems these cults are religiously based. No matter what religion, they are evil and satanic, certainly not worthy to mention G-ds name.

nutcases

Cults are dangerous. Whatever "charisma" he has is from the sitra achra and he should be put to death.

Religious Jews have the same response to this monster that anyone else has. What is there to say? Does anyone think we approveof having six wives, of violence and brutality and sexual abuse of children? Some people are meshugeneh frum. This man is just meshugeneh and belongs behind bars.

No surprise the man went mental. Six wives means he had six mothers-in-law. Who could survive that?

@no2 Seculair also commit crimes but they don't pretent to be better or know better than other Seculars don't hid behind the stupid tora A book written by smart people

Of course secular people commit crimes. but have you noticed that these disgusting cult things have all been in the ultra-religious community. What stinks about it is that so many of the ultra-orthodox have th is holier-than-thou attitude to the secular community, holding themselves up as beacons of light and righteousnous, so yes, when we seculars, who make no pretence of being perfect or Go-d's favourites, hear of crimes committed by the the religious, we find it outrageous and beyond sickening. The intolerance of the ultra-orthodox towards the secular community is indeed well-known.

When it comes to non jews
