There have been Church of Scientology protests before but today is something much bigger, today is the international day against the religion. These demonstrations have been sparked by the viral spread of Tom Cruise’s promo video and The Star reports that 14 countries are going to have protests.
The organizers have said around “150 masked protesters will turn up outside the Church of Scientology building on Yonge St., south of Bloor St, U.S. CANADA”
The York Press in the UK is reporting on a demonstration that will happen today against the controversial religion in York, UK…they have pledged to “destroy it”.
The Age in Australia, also reports on a group called “Anonymous”, they have skilled computer hackers in their group and have even posted a message on YouTube that declared war on Scientology.
Is this just another case of religion causing war or is there more to this story?

How many times must we state this fact. we are not against THE religion. We are against the profiteering/human rights violations/Fair Game tactics used against the people who speak out against Scientology.

A news station visited the local scientology church in Germany. They can never give a straight answer or any answer at all. Good job to Anonymous.
Anonymous also intimidates anyone who speaks out against them. See the Fox TV report on what they were doing to MySpace users last summer http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=WKFOx0UYrzs and what they did to a guy in California last week http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/01/anonymous-hac-1.html?cid=99673766#comment-9967
They have vowed to destroy Scientology. What’s next? The Catholic Church? The Church of England? Judaism? Islam? They have misled a bunch of university students into thinking they have a legitimate cause. But we are lending support to incipient terrorism by making light of this. The free practice of religion is a basic human right. No matter what that religion may be. It’s not smart to stand by and let thugs like those at the heart of anonymous run rampant.
Scientology is NOT a religion. They are a cult.
I think the last line summed up the entire article: “…is there more to this story?” Yes, because you didnt do your research! As has already been said this is not a war against the “reliegion” of Scientology, mainly because it is still legally (here in the UK anyway) still considered a *CULT*! but also it isnt the belief system we are attacking. its the profiteering, corpral entity of the cult which brainwashes members, and constantly decieves and harrases them into paying for more “audits” to the point where theres nothing left. Have you heard the term “EOC”? its a term used by high-up members of scientology which means “End Of Cycle” and literally means “Kill Yourself”. Of course they diguise everything as an accronymn so that other people just assume its some kind of test or audit, but its not. its an accronymn spoken to members who have outlived their usefullness to the cult. IE - RUN OUT OF MONEY OR BECOME A LIABILITY! Together with their ruthless campaign against psychiatry, their flawed understanding of medicin, and their attrocious treatment of critics, there is nothing left but for the organisation to be destroyed. Im all for freedom of speach and people believing in what they want, but when people believe that these appauling acts are quote “for the good of the human race”, THATS where I draw the bloody line! DOWN WITH CO$!! WE ARE YOUR SP’S!
See, they never defend, only attack.
They’ll never respond to the questions asked here. This shows that they don’t have an answer that they can publish.
Una, FOX TV doesn’t count as a liable source of information. You should know that. FOX is simply propaganda. Also, Anonymous doesn’t care about the religion. Believe what you want, but don’t treat human beings like shit and destroy their lives like Scientology does. Scientology is not a religion. It’s a cult, or even better.. it is a company. It is only about making money. The catholic church isn’t (anymore) and you I don’t think the other religions are either. So as long as you treat your members decent and don’t steal all their money and shut them off from their families you can happily believe in Lord Xenu and the Thetan in you.
Thanks, Anonymous. You just proved my point. Reclassify people with some unpopular buzzword and you no longer have permit them to have human rights.
This is the only religion I know where you pay money to go higher in the ranks!!
The Fox News report on Anonymous is a joke. You don’t even know what Anonymous is. Anonymous is the collective name for a very large group, of which only a very small number of people are actually hackers. Anonymous is mostly just normal people, not uber-hackers, and the Fox report is hilarious for that very reason - they act as though it is some real, shady group when in fact anyone can be a member of Anonymous.
Una, you’re a scientologist. Were you involved in mailing those envelopes to your own church in order to portray Anonymous as terrorists, or did you just make up the story?
Were you involved in Operation Freakout, wherein Scientologists framed an anti-Scientologist author for sending threats to arab embassies and their own organization?
Were you involved in Operation Snow White, the infiltration of the US and Canadian governments with the intent to suppress the crimes of the Church of Scientology?
Anonymous is not opposed to the religion, silly as it is; they’re opposed to the exploitation of the members of the Church of Scientology, the brainwashing that the Church does, the deaths they’ve caused, the other damage they’ve caused, and their suppression of free speech. THAT is what is not liked by them.
You’re clearly not defending yourself because you are unable to do so; instead, you’re attacking Anonymous. Already we’ve heard Scientologists claim Anonymous are a bunch of Communists or were inspired by Mein Kampf. What propaganda will you spout out next?
