Well, in the case of islam, they were looking to get young boys, too.
David Miscavige has now driven away so many Scientologists, that it's not at all inconceivable, that the NOI could seize control of the church. At least on an organizational level.
If Miscavige ever senses a palace coup about to happen, he's got a diamond encrusted, platinum escape plan already in place. You never met a more devious, diabolical schemer in your entire life.
If he ever leaves, he'll nuke the organization on his way out the door, and walk with billions in cash and real estate holdings.
