It shows how far apart their worldview is from normal society. I can't think of any short-term solution for this problem. In the long run, however, I think that their society is doomed, due to the freedom of speech and infiltration of ideas that the internet brings.

It's good to see a sharp condemnation of their actions, in this report of a lecture by Rav Edelstein of Ponovezh.
