"These people" are who? The people that the French have labeled as cults,
like Hasidic Jews or Charismatic Catholics or various Protestant sects?
Groups that are well within the mainstream in America?
Or do you just think "there people" are the more kookier seeming ones?
I have friends in some of these banned groups and they are normal people.
This thing isn't simply directed at Scientologists or the like.
