Weapons of mass delusion
• Religious Intolerance
I wouldn't mind seeing religious nuts shot from cannons.
Some officials accuse the United States of using the "sects" - including Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientologists, the Unification Church (Moonies), and Hare Krishna - to undermine the Russian state.
"Most sectarian organization are of the U.S. origin," Yuri Polischuk, department head at the health ministry's Moscow Institute of Psychiatry said Tuesday. He said the inflow of sects was a "well-planned and coordinated action, funded from abroad" and aimed at "subverting our state."
Polischuk was addressing a round-table discussion in Moscow, entitled "Totalitarian Sects: Weapon of Mass Destruction."
Participants in the forum, attended by interior ministry officials, scholars, and representatives of the Orthodox Church, suggested that the country amend its criminal code to more effectively combat the sects' recruiting methods.
