While
discrimination has been the source of much suffering and hardship in the past,
it is exploited as a manipulative tool by Scientology. When people in Germany
turned to their politicians for protection from irregular business practices by
Scientology, Scientology reacted with widespread accusations of hatred and
discrimination against Germany.
Here are a couple of micro-fiche quality pictures from the New York Times.
The picture above is from a full page Scientology advertisement in the New York
Times on September 22, 1994. It shows Nazi soldiers carrying Nazi banners.
Below is from page A19 of Thursday, October 6, 1994. It is from a full page
advertisement which Scientology paid for and shows a book burning in Nazi
Germany in the 1930's.
The reason Scientology gave for placing these advertisements was to show discrimination by the Germans against Scientologists. The advertisements contain false figures and outright lies and are considered an insult by Jews and Germans alike.
Nevertheless, Scientology continued its campaign of accusation against Germany, and is still actively trying to portray itself as a persecuted minority religion, however, its methods have gotten more devious.
