"Scientology is also in Spandau as little success as in other places in Berlin," said the Spandau district SPD chairman Raed Saleh.

Kaum Zuwachs für Scientology
22. April 2009 15.29 Uhr
Scientology ist nach Einschätzung des Berliner Verfassungsschutzes in der Hauptstadt nicht erfolgreich.
Es gebe kaum Mitgliederzuwachs, und die Organisation verdiene in Berlin trotz ihrer Bemühungen auch nicht viel Geld, sagte die Chefin des Berliner Verfassungsschutzes, Claudia Schmid, am Mittwoch im zuständigen Ausschuss des Abgeordnetenhauses. „Auch aus dem politischen Raum gibt es keinerlei Affinitäten. Da schlägt ihnen geballte Ablehnung entgegen.“

Die umstrittene Organisation bezeichnet sich selbst als Kirche, wird von Kritikern aber als Sekte gesehen. Die Zahl der Mitglieder soll in Berlin bei rund 200 liegen. Scientology hatte Anfang 2007 in Charlottenburg eine sogenannte Hauptstadtrepräsentanz eröffnet. Der Senat richtete daraufhin im September 2008 eine Sektenberatungsstelle ein. Die Innenminister der Länder hatten sich auf Anraten von Verfassungsschützern gegen ein Verbot von Scientology, aber für eine Beobachtung ausgesprochen.
