Is it okay to protect people from cults?

[feministe]

Every time a critic says that scientology or any other such cults are
dangerous, the cult whines, pretending innocence, freedom of religion and
conscisence, etc.

Sometimes, these cults go as far as comparing themselves to jews under
Hitler.

But do these same cultists think that they should'nt be protected from
terrorism, criminality, blues asbestos dangers, street drugs dealers,
toxins, or from dangerous cars or dangerous drivers, or from viruses, or
even, from foreign countries conquests ?

No, they don't think they should not be protected from such.

So, as soon as a group of people, a product, a thing like a cult is
correctly labeled as dangerous, people have some balanced right to protect
themselves from its dangers.

Therefore, asking that some cults, or parts of cults, were destroyed or
forbidden is a wholly legitimate aim in societies.
