Support religious freedom and tolerance in Germany
Target:
Government of Germany - Interior Ministry
Sponsored by:
Religious groups and beliefs are continuously attacked in Germany by the government, with the justification that these violate "Human Rights" or the constitution of Germany.
The most recent event is an attack against the Church of Scientology in Germany.
Though only a few weeks ago, Scientology was recognized as a religion in Spain and Portugal and also earlier this year was found as a religious community by the European Court for Human Rights the German ministry for interior announced investigations on the Church of Scientology with the aim of forbidding Scientology in Germany.
The idea which is promoted by the german government is that a Scientologist should not be allowed to fill an official position such as teacher, lawyer, doctor or similar.
A Scientologist is supposed to renounce his religion if he wishes to become a teacher or a similar profession.
The accusations and the further investigations are not based on any facts and this is only another violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
"ARTICLE 18... Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."
The Church of Scientology supports since many years social betterment programs in the field of Human Rights, Anti-Drug Campaigns, Illiteracy, Rehabilitation of Criminals and bringing morals back to society with their distribution of The Way to Happiness, the first moral code based wholly on common sense.
Scientology has been attacked in Germany for many years and despite all investigations, which have consumed an enormous amount of money and time, no facts were found proving the accusations of the German Government as true.
Support this petition to show the German Government that religious intolerance is no longer accepted by the society.
It is not just about Scientology. It is a matter of protecting Human Rights and the freedom of belief for ALL religious groups and beliefs.

Any government that does not allow basic human rights must be made to see the error of their ways, religious freedom is a basic human right, these abuses must stop in a so-called civilised country such as Germany.

This has been going on in Germany for too long! I was in Frankfort in '98 for the 'Religious Freedom and Rally For Truth', to help raise awareness of this issue.

These attacks against Scientology in Germany are intolerant and must stop. It is a threat against the religious freedom and humanity.

All people the world over should have freedom of religion. I'm a Muslim and I fully support the Scientologists' right to practice as they believe. It is my duty to fight oppression, and in signing this I am doing a part, though it is only a very small part, in fulfilling that duty and defending those who are under attack. |

Germany is out of step with the rest of Europe and the world. Scientology is by far NOT the only religion being suppressed by people here who have vested interests. It's time to say NO to this endless suppression and bring those with things to hide to JUSTICE!

The right to have what ever religion you happen to have. Is part of human nature. In other words you would rather have a civil war instead of freedom of religion? Crazy!

We all have the right to worship as we see fit. We may feel that what we practice is the true faith, but as none of us know for sure we should delay judgement on other religions. There are so many common elements running through the main orthodox religions that who's to say we do not all worship the same deity - we simply use a different name.
