I object your assertion that it’s my opinion that Chabad is not a valid expression of Judaism. I have rock solid arguments. Lubavichers believe that the Rebbe was a Novi. They beliwve that he ran/runs the world. They believe that he is/ was god clothed in human form.They believe he is/was Moahiach. Moerover you presented no legitimate arguments to support the notion that Chabad is simply a variant of Judaism. All you said is that Chabad doesany nice things and provides essential services. I agree with that statwment but the issue is with their belief system.
