ANTI-RELIGIOUS HATE

MEDIA WATCH
It is a fact that overt and covert discrimination is what leads to violence, and right here and now I am standing up for my rights not to have violence leveled against myself or my fellow Scientologists.
MEDIA WATCH
I have been studying and practicing Scientology since 1981 and it has greatly benefited me and all those with whom I am in contact. Don’t we have enough hatred and bigotry going on in our country and the world today? I’m confident that you will withdraw your support of this show once you see how misleading and cruel it is.
MEDIA WATCH
I am appalled at A&E’s scripted “reality” show attacking my religion. This has generated more than 500 hate crimes against my church and its members. I have had to file police reports on several of these perpetrated against the Church in San Francisco since this show began.
MEDIA WATCH
I believe I have the right to enjoy a peaceful life, free to practice my religion in harmony with my fellow man. I protest your support of this no-talent Leah Remini trying to disrupt our lives while she attempts to make a living spewing hate.
MEDIA WATCH
Aligning your products and media energies to show positive actions that are happening in the United States is what we as a people need. We need to calm the rhetoric, and this A&E program is not doing that. It is inciting violence where there need be none and where there is no reason for hatred or violence.
MEDIA WATCH
A young woman was literally incited to a violent act pretty much solely by Remini's hate speech and the agreement of fellow haters. And in the weeks following, other strangers decided to pile on by making threatening calls or posting on social media that they were glad this had happened to us.
MEDIA WATCH
I understand that you may or may not care about any of this. But if you are a religious or spiritual person at all, or have people of faith in your company, I urge you to ask some hard questions about your continued support of this show.
MEDIA WATCH
The show your company supported by advertising spawned immediate documented death threats to all members of the Church of Scientology. The coincidence was uncanny.
MEDIA WATCH
I personally cannot and will not support a corporation, no matter how much I like their product, that lends its name and advertising dollars to a program that forwards hatred against my religion.
MEDIA WATCH
Skechers is promoting religious hate through your advertising support of the Leah Remini series about Scientology on A&E. Support of this show is equivalent to supporting the Ku Klux Klan’s views against non-whites and Catholics or supporting Nazi views against Jews.
