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?
