Just a couple of days ago, Scientologists reported to members of Congress
that they were being denied entrance to Germany based on their religion,
that Scientologists who could not make their voices heard in Germany were
being suppressed, Scientologist musicians were said to be banned from
playing in public ....

Then a couple of days later Scientologists are playing bagpipes walking
down the streets of Hamburg amids balloons, tents and banners.

It was also alleged that hate was being taught in German schools. 
Maybe "hate" is anything the Scientologists disagree with?

   If you think the problem with Scientology is bad now,
   just wait until we find out what it is.
