Interesting. Well the sisters are still alive, so if they shifted blame to them, why were they not tried for it? Or did they conveniently shift all blame to the dead mother, which means the son “didn’t know she was doing it” which made him avoid a conviction? Also there is the other possibility, that the C of S paid someone or blackmailed someone to make them drop it? An aside here, I think they did both pay off and blackmail of Marty to get him to drop his case.

You got his name right: Rizza Islam. Unfortunately, prosecutors said they couldn’t proceed and ended up dropping the charges last year. It was very odd, because at the previous hearing before this, they had said there were terabytes of new information, and Rizza Islamʻs lawyer needed more time to review it. Then, the prosecutors say they can’t proceed. It’s very odd.

What likely happened is that they were able to shift all the blame onto his mother and sisters (who all pleaded no contest). No one can say for sure, though.

Aqua Thank you. It’s so important being capable of recognizing those kind of people to don’t be fooled.
It is one of the few movies of Denzel W. I didn’t see yet. I Will.

And thank you for reading it! His story really touches me, and saddens me. Leaders who preach hate and vengeance are considered “strong” and allowed to continue poisoning the human well; leaders who preach the dissolution of our differences thru mutual respect, patience and understanding, well, can’t have that, they have to die.

Thanks for reading what I wrote! I get a little carried away sometimes. You might like the book and there’s also the film with Denzel washinton.

Wow. Aqua I didn’t know any of this. And I always knew Louise Farrakahn was evil, but now that I read what he did to Malcom X, OMG there aren’t enough words for the depth of evil he was. Thank you for the enlightenment.

I don’t see it as a rant. In fact, I found it very informative. Living elsewhere, I didn’t have all this information. Thank you, Aqua.

I’ve read plenty, thanks. As with most people here, I’ve very aware of the “value” of the services. Have you been here long?

What I’m asking is whether these NOI people are actually Scientologists, or if they just show up for fundraisers and such. It would seem their ideologies would clash, and surely they’ve heard LRH’s opinions on black people. What are they getting out if it?
