Screen star John Travolta has accused the German government of discriminating against his religion, reports People Daily. Travolta told a mass rally of Scientologists in Berlin protesting Germany's tough stance on their group that there was no excuse for governments to discriminate against religious bodies...

They buck the system," she argues. Earnings from the Look Who's Talking movies she made with Travolta, another famous church member, helped her open a Scientology mission in her Kansas hometown where nonmembers can learn to read. "People don't see the good," she says in disgust...
