Chossid,
1. The fact is that right in Crown Heights there are Yechis. There is also a group in Tzefat that davens to his picture.
2. I ran the quote through a Google translator. If the translation is accurate he only said that the Rebbe is the spiritual leader of the Chassidim. This is a far cry from those who say that he is the embodiment of Gd in this world. Even saying that he is Mashiach and will have a second coming is extremely problematic for obvious reasons. In fact, after he died the Jews for Yushki put a full-page ad in the NY Times with his picture and the caption “Right Idea. Wrong Person”. To be fair, chabad.org talks about Mashiach as coming in the future.
