2 Sides to Soka Issue
- Share via
Your Nov. 25 edition included two pro-Soka letters, which contain phrases such as “wave of emotional medieval darkness,” “witch hunt” and “fear smear.”
There were remarks that referred to religion, education, world peace and some related political attention that Daisaku Ikeda, the absolute ruler of the Soka group worldwide, had managed to attract.
The foregoing is a calculated attempt to cloud the real issue involved in our organization’s opposition to Soka’s proposed commercial development, the misuse of the property at Las Virgenes Road and Mulholland Highway.
It clouds the fact that Soka and Soka Gakkai-USA are not about religion, education or world peace. They are about power, money and politics. They are in serious trouble in Japan and they are looking for a new tax-free home base.
Albergate should be ashamed of himself for comparing Soka Gakkai to the Catholic Church.
