Religious Leaders, Social Science Scholars Criticize Falun Gong ����People from Beijing's religious circles and social science scholars gathered in Beijing October 28 to criticize Falun Gong, an illegal organization headed by Li Hongzhi. ����Participants at the forum agreed that the commentary in October 28's People's Daily, titled "Falun Gong Is a Cult," expressed the feelings and thoughts of religious people. ����They urged people who still believe in Falun Gong to become aware of Li Hongzhi's fallacies and come back to take the right stand. ����About 70 people including leaders of the Buddhist Association of China, the China Taoist Association, the Islamic Association of China, the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association, the Three-Self Patriotic Movement Committee of Protestant Churches of China, and other religious organizations and experts and scholars attended the forum.
