I don't think that Melton is a sociologist. Andries 01:16, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
- He can be considered one: He works with sociologists and coublishes papers. Check [1] --Zappaz 18:45, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
- The article says nowhere that he has a degree in sociology. Andries 18:58, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
- You'r right. Thanks. --Zappaz 19:01, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
I think he's primarily a religious scholar, and I don't think he ever said Aum Shinriko was "innocent". He probably said that the man deserved to be tried. So I've taken out the following from the criticism section:
- erroneously declared Aum to be innocent
Can we get a source, or at least a quote for "declared them innocent"? Because if he only said "should be considered innocent until proven guilty" or something else other than THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT then that should be in the arrticle, instead of the current "defending those nasty mass murderers" bit of defamation.

- Introvigne wrote this somewhere and Anton Hein too. He went together with James Lewis who in contrast to Melton suspected Aum Shinrikyo of drugs trafficking. Andries 22:09, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
- I also read it in the book NRMs in the 21st century but the names of the persons were omitted because it was clearly a painful affair for them. Andries 22:11, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
