Fulun Gong is an evil cult

Falun Gong should not be given any special treatment. I understand that in a free society we can not unduly repress people point of view no matter how repulsive they may be. We could allow neo-Nazi groups the right to demonstrate provided they fell with in the requirements of the law. But most people would not allow them special right that we might give to AIDS suffers caused by USA neo-con policies in Africa, or a people protesting the Israeli collective punishment of the Palestinians/Lebanese. Falun Gong may be persecuted in China, and so the should be, in the same way that any cult of hate should be. Anyone who does any research into the cults belief system and idea would quickly see that what china is fighting is on par with Pol Pot and the Khmer Rough. China has a justifiable fear of this kind of reactionary cult.
Fulun Gong is an evil cult because…..
Does this mean a support the human rights abuses of China, even against Falun Gong? No, but it is possible to decry both. I think Falun Gong should be made illegal in the same way other hate groups are, and I think we should amplify our attempts at reforming China as her ally and friend. Much the same we have tried with the US. We in Canada, and the west in general, have the bad habit brought about during the struggles of the cold war to believe that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and that is not true. Sometime the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy. Selecting ones enemies can be as important as selecting ones friends.
