Human Rights Victory for Scientology

Did you see the Scientology decision from the EU Court of Human Rights? What an incredible decision! For years Scientologists have been having to put up with conditions in Russia and Europe that no other religions have to contend with -- the kind of religious descrimination that was carefully banned after World War II and the memories of the holocaust. But by margianalizing a group, denying it the status of a religion, calling it a cult, ridiculing its practices or beliefs, you restrict the rights of the members. So although I'm American and have never had to up with the kind of pressusre European Scientologists have had, I am relieved personally that the European Court has made such logical, cogent findings.
