The Apologetics Index says at

http://www.apologeticsindex.org/s04.html that:

"The Church of Scientology is a commercial enterprise that masquerades as a

religion, and that increasingly acts like a hate group. Scientology has a

long history of hate and harassment activities, which - along with lying and

deception - are condoned and encouraged in the cult's own ''scriptures.''

(See, for example, its ''dead agenting'' and ''fair game'' policies). This

is why Apologetics Index classifies the organization as a hate group."

They then argue their case and present examples.

Which might be little more long-winded than the DMCA thingamajig but it

seems, somehow, to be more compelling.
