A religious belief in polygamy is one thing. But how can this monster hold "the respect of followers as they rose when he entered the courtroom" to the point that those followers will cooperate with his arranging for the rape and incestual attacks on their own daughters? We clearly have a dangerous cult in our midst when people are so brainwashed that they will sanction this institutionalized rape and incest of half of their own children (daughters) while ejecting the other half (sons) because the older men don't want the competition.
