Quotes
In Japan, the Communist Party has been particularly diligent in mounting a decade-long campaign against the Unification Church, promoting hate speech, weaving webs of falsehoods, and exciting politicians, media and public opinion against “the cult.”

Compiler's Note: The Unification Church is now known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification.
