To call scientology a cult is OK, if you consider (as I do) all major religions "supercults". And yes, IMHO no difference except for size and date of founding.

I'm Croatian, and I'd take anything Davor Domazet-Loso says with a mountain of salt, him being a war criminal, right wing extremist and a crackpot. But don't take my word on it! I just want to say that he's a VERY unreliable source.

While Church was in opposition during communism, here in Croatia has quite made up in the last 20 years. In my town of Split they opened around 20 churches during this period funded by the state, yet no new elementary schools have been opened.

Crotian plane hijackers were not Muslims. There were two, one in 73 and one in 76. Don't know about the first one, but the second one was a Croatian separatist (from Yugoslavia) got released in 2008. and was welcomed in (now independent) Croatia as hero by many, mostly by (mid-to-far) right wing crowd, who are often seen carrying Ustashe (WW2 Nazi collaborationist movement) insignia. Irony was that since some modern history rewrites, they didn't know that these hijackers were actually the revolutionary forces with more of democratic left stance who fought the what they perceived the nationalist Serbian dominance in Yugoslavia.
They were indeed a fraction in the Croatian independence movement, as many other were strict pro-ustashe. But, both were equally hunted down by Yugoslavian secret service (UDBA), moderates and extremist the same, and is today one of the (arguably overblown) reason Croats do not remember time in Yugoslavia fondly.

That might not be true. For those people, its not about the % of alcohol fumes in breath (breathalyzer) but the result of alcohol beverage in digestion effects to mum's nose. Medicinal alcohol has almost no smell (and certainly 1 liter of wine smells 100 times worse than 0.1 liter of 70% alcohol after being digested/injected)

"His main reasons for injecting were the rapid effect and avoiding the smell of alcohol on his breath because his hostel prohibited alcohol use."
