Valkyrie Given A Go In Germany

Germany apparently banned Tom Cruise from filming his new movie, “Valkyrie”.
The film is based off of Stauffenberg’s attempt on Hitler’s life in Operation Valkyrie.

This rumored banning was a complete falsehood. While, Germany does not recognize Scientology as a religion and sees it as instead as a cult, it doesn’t, I would assume, usually ban people from work because of their religious beliefs. The Defense Ministry of Germany has, apparently, made a pretty smart move by changing the tune, which was buzzing around about this film. They approve of it and now say that it was only a Conservative Member of their parliament, Blumenthal, that was responsible for the rumor. Blumenthal, according to our friends, at the Hollywood Reporter, is a cult expert for a conservative party and has been a vehemont opponent to Scientology. Scientology, while not widely accepted like Christianity, is however, a recognized religion in the U.S. When the German Ministry was asked about the movie, it confirmed that while they haven’t yet received any applications to film in Germany, they weren’t opposed to the Film.

What the Hell! Jedi is now considered a real religion in Australia because many people put it as there religion on the census. So, why would we give a damn about a specific persons belief’s and then ban them from working for it? Good thing the PC police are in full swing to fix this.
