So, a religion that has sexual abuse of children woven into its fabric is something we should just let slide?

Interesting insight into your own mind.

[Wallace T.]

Sexual abuse such as sex with underage minors should be punished to the full extent of the law. However, the standards should be no different than with any prosecution of any other individual, with the standards of due process enforced, a fair trial by jury, and competent legal representation of the defendant. There was no reason to expel several hundred people from their homes through intimidation. It begins to smack more of social engineering and nanny statism than of punishing actual criminals.
