Didn’t Dear Leader know that this is what Islam does? They go forth and conquer ‘in the name of Allah most merciful’.
This is what happened to Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. The Muslims took it from the Christians and turned it into a mosque.]]></description>

Your question was “Can Miscavige ever have enough money?”
You should already know the answer: no.]]></description>

I suspect NOI got in bed with Scientology after they lost one of the main overseas backers in Gaddafi. Farrakhan has a dedicated following, but needed money. Scientology has a pile of assets but fewer and fewer followers. Without recruitment and succession in place, Scientology is approaching some end game and won&#039;t need outside interference to implode.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The NOI is using the Hubbard Community Center as “The Western Regional headquarters of the Nation of Islam” which “is dedicated to spiritual advancement under the guidance of Allah (God), and the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, through his representative the  Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.”  Their web site does not mention it being a Scientology building but videos do show Ron’s books on display as people walk in.  

Perhaps the bust of Hubbard is not on display because it is the community center and not the org.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I knew it I knew it I knew it.  OMG.  Several years ago I had the thought: &quot;The only way Scientology can expand and get new members is to NOT mention at all at any time the word &#039;Scientology&#039;&quot;.  And now here they are recruiting new Scientologists via the NOI.  The cult tried the same stratagem using WISE.  I&#039;m guessing that hasn&#039;t worked too well.  Now they&#039;re helping (funding) the NOI to get recruits who will then the cult hopes be transformed into Scientologists.  Its not a bad idea; it could have some workability.  But let me point something out: NOIs do not, for the most part, have much MONEY.  They are NOT going to be OK with being hit up for huge regular donations to this or that, or for ANY regular donations for that matter.  So I&#039;d say that this latest cult ploy to get raw meat for their Div 6 has workability but limited workability. Having said that, its possible that Miscavige figures that he actually has enough money and what it needs now are BODIES.  Then again, can Miscavige EVER really have enough money?  I don&#039;t have the answer to this.]]></description>
