Islam - Organized Crime?

Prominent Dutchmen Theo Van Gogh and Pim Fortuyn were murdered by Muslims for offending the mullahs. Mullahs commonly incite riots to inimidate people and institutions that dare rub against their grain. How many people were died during anti-Danish or anti-Catholic riots?
Islam finds prison one of its most fertile recruiting grounds, here, here, here and here.

And, ahem, need I mention 9/11, Hizbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Muslim brotherhood, Muammar Qadafi, Yasir Arafat, etc?

I do not bring this up gratuitously. I mention this because I see that the Belgian government is planning to prosecute Scientology as an criminal organization.

A Belgian prosecutor on Tuesday recommended that the U.S.-based Church of Scientology stand trial for fraud and extortion, following a 10-year investigation that concluded the group should be labeled a criminal organization.

Scientology said it would fight the criminal charges recommended by investigating prosecutor Jean-Claude Van Espen, who said that up to 12 unidentified people should face charges.

Van Espen's probe also concluded that Scientology's Brussels-based Europe office and its Belgian missions conducted unlawful practices in medicine, violated privacy laws and used illegal business contracts, said Lieve Pellens, a spokeswoman at the Federal Prosecutors Office.

"They also face charges of being ... a criminal organization," Pellens said in a telephone interview.


I don't know what transgressions Scientology is supposed to have committed. And I would certainly agree that Scientology is more interested in bilking its flock than saving their souls. But, is it really worse than the crimes that Islam has committed?
