People who strongly believe in God and harm other people make me feel sick. They are deceitful and abominable. They don't act according to their faith. It is very easy to say I must have done it because it was written in ...
2. Haredi Treatment of Women
Cheryl ,   Chicago, IL   (11.03.12)

of the population. What makes it more serious in the haredi segment is the cult-like value which encourages the victim not to report it and deal with it in the community, which many times is not effective. The haredi rabies as so afraid of airing their comunal dirty laundry that they disgrace themselves and their beliefs.

How wrong you are , Charles , in my consultation many cry , i'm the only one to whom they can open their heart and talk .
