Grieving family urges Scientology probe
news.smh.com.au
"For the three days leading up to soldier Edward McBride's suicide, his family say he was bombarded by telephone calls and texts from Church of Scientology members.
The family believe the church played a major role in his death but have spent the past two years without answers or recourse.
Now they've urged the federal government to initiate an inquiry into the controversial religious group, under fire following recent allegations of blackmail, sanctioned beatings, forced abortions and financial fraud.
Independent senator Nick Xenophon last week made a scathing parliamentary attack on Scientology, accusing it of using religion as a front for criminal activities."

Yeah really. I mean we can get cliche with all of the atrocities in the name of religion such as the Crusades and suicide bombings etc but this really is just another religion doing what they do best. Well it's hard to really call Scientology a religion but you know what I mean.
