yichusdik -“Health says “if they aren’t frum, who cares?”…”And now I understand your posts and your perspective on a whole range of issues much better.”
Actually, you probably haven’t read too many of my posts -I’ve been very open about my Shittos all the time!
“sums up the weakness of too large a proportion of the chareidi velt. The gemoro tells us kol yisroel areivim ze bazeh.It didn’t specify only the frum.”
What you call weakness – I call Halacha! It actually does only apply to Frum Jews. But to know this – you have had to learn a lot. Halacha says many places that Not-Frum Jews aren’t considered part of Klal Yisroel. I’ve discussed this many times here in the CR. I’ve posted there is No Chiyuv to make anybody Frum and even by Tinok Shenishbas it’s only an Inyan (or Mitzva), No Chiyuv, to be Mekarev them! (See Rambam.)
