Question

Do you think that some of the slogans voiced by the Haredim as if they were core Torah principles—such as "Torah protects and saves," "and you shall do according to all that they instruct you," "the new is forbidden by the Torah," and the like—and their interpretation of these statements in a way that advances their goals, while completely uprooting the statement from its context, falls under the category of "distorting the Torah improperly," with all the implications that follow from that?
