Echos of Jewish Persecution in Germany

[Steve]

No denying that the German government can get a bit fanatical
at times, but they seem hell-bend on ridding Germany of the
Church of Scientology, saying that it is a threat to the
Constitution of Germany and it is attempting to "...abolishing
the free democratic basic order". 

Seems a little extreme when you consider that Scientology only
has about 6,000 members in a country of 82.4 million.

For the record, I am no big supporter of Scientology, and while
there may be some misconduct by some individual members, I see
not more than any other religion. Germany has also revoked
Scientology status as an officially recognized church. 

The whole thing seems irrational or at least hyper-rationalized.

Again, not a big supporter of Scientology, but this seems a
little overboard.
