Will France Ban Scientology?

Five years after Tom Cruise called Nicolas Sarkozy a "wonderful guy," a French court convicted his church of fraud.

If not why not!! France does not want or need these American born scams.

First off you can't judge all of America because of one crazy guy devising the most successful "bait and switch" scam of all time.

Second off It doesn't look like France can Ban Scientology....at least not yet.

"last month the French courts were alerted to a little-noticed legal change voted in by parliament in May, the month the trial opened, which barred French courts from dissolving an organisation convicted of fraud."

can't*

Banning is totally unnecessary. It is collapsing very, very fast. There is pretty much nothing left there to ban.

Agreed. A ban would only make them martyrs. They need to collapse of their own volition, and they're doing a great job of it.

Are you really sorry for some idiots who give so much money for some gimmick?

Some people you have to protect from themselves!!

Scientology is a good scam!! No need of violence to rob people: they give their cash voluntarily.

french are only talk,they have a minister who admmitted to having sex with children in thailand,he still has his job.

If you make it impossible for the Scientology Corporation to swindle, defraud, intimidate and abuse its members, there would be little reason to ban it.

Force it to operate legally and ethically (real ethics, not Ethics[tm]) and those in charge will drop it like a hot stone and move on to something else.

I find it funny that America made an art form out of arriving very late! Notably WW1 and WW11. There again there was always profits to be made, before supporting the winning side!!!! In a word COWARDS

Whats that? The Wall didn't work and Hitler went right through it? You would still likely be under occupation if not for the US and Russia? You're irrelevant, be as mad you as want about it.

Go ahead. I would NEVER go to France. It's the country of feygs and prostitutes.
I'll stay here in Minnesota, even though it also sucks. But I know what to expect here.

Admit it! You can't afford to visit France. There again, I have visited the US on many occasions on business. Met some really nice people. Having said that I was always happy to return to civilization. No guns/no rat race/no nead to lock doors/no looking over your shoulder.

Haha whoa whoa...when did this turn into a thread of hate? I merely stated I enjoyed the art form of Parkour.....sorry if that came across wrong. As stated by Raymond us Americans move kinda slow(in the head). If only I could afford to visit France.....in not only for the Croissants.

Perhaps they should start with banning muslims first?

Why? What have French Muslims done?

Now the Cult of scientology on the other hand has committed fraud and been found guilty of it. That's the merest of what they've been upto.

This thread is kind of irrelevant anyway since France does not have the capacity in law to dissolve the organisation and bannign the group would force them to continue in the shadows, as the Judge rightly pointed out. Which you'd know if you'd read the article.

Perhaps you should rephrase that and ask the question what have Muslims done?

I have no issues with the French.

Scientology is no better than Islam. They are both as bad as each other.

France would be better off banning ISLAM
After all Muslims openly proclaim they are taking over France and will force france into submission one way or another!
