Germans Nix Cruise Movie Over Scientology

[MyBlueHeaven]

BERLIN, Germany -- Germany has prohibited shooting of the Tom Cruise World War II thriller "Valkyrie" because of the actor's ties to Scientology.

Germany has long contended the Church of Scientology is not a religion but an exploitative, profit-based business concern.

Well, Scientology is not a religion, they got that right, but they shouldn't ban him from making the movie.

I aplaud them for once. Perhaps it's not right to ban him from making the movie, but I like the statement being made.
