Oh wow, you know nothing do you.
start lurking.

As for the protest, there was one here about 2 miles from here, and when my friends went, everyone was dressed up in black suits and afros.

What Anon is or is not doesn't concern me.

They're standing for freedom of speech (and more) this time, and I have to say, it's encouraging to see that from people.

Well, no. They don't stand for freedom of speech because they believe Scientologists shouldn't be around. Limiting another group does not show your support of, but fight against freedom of speech.

If I ever met someone that claimed to be a member of Anonymous IRL , I would likely break their nose.

Protest's closed.

If you'd watched their "press release", you'd have found that this isn't the case. They made mention of an organization called the "Free Zone" (or something like that, thanks to the computer voice I can't be sure), a group of those who believe in Scientology but are not part of the Church of Scientology due to its actions. Anon does not bear these people any grudge.

As elaborated on in the video, Anon only wants to wage war against the Church, not its followers. Kind of like Martin Luther and his war against corruption of Catholicism, while bearing no grudge to the believers.

Granted, Anon is Anon, so you can't be certain of anything they say.

First off, Anon being everyone and no one, it's impossible to have a constant message. You can't say that all of Anon believes in the actions made by other Anons.

Second, Anon (in general) has nothing against the beliefs of the Church itself. It has problems against the usage of it's influential power and status.

The Church is reckoned as a religion and is exempted from taxing. The problem with this is that Scientology is much more of a buisness than a religion. It forces it's members to follow classes which are increasingly expansive as the classes become more and more advanced. It sucks money out of people that have lost faith in life. This is much different than any other religion (most of the Xenu bull**** isn't mentionned at first, but only in the latter courses).

The sect/cult/religion of Scientology has also been charged for murders (charges were dropped, though, due to an out-of-court agreement). Lise McPherson, for example, was a mentaly ill girl who had been in scientology for a long time. She died of dehydratation after spending 17 days in a hotel owned by Scientology (Romm 174). She was 36.

As I've said before, the beliefs of Scientologists are not a matter here. Only concrete actions.
