Some critics in Norway and Sweden are angry that the Nobel Peace Prize concert will be co-hosted by Tom Cruise, arguing that it’s too difficult to separate “‘artist Tom Cruise from Scientology Tom Cruise,'” and that Cruise’s Church of Scientology will consider the event a “‘validation and use it as far as they can.'” The critics apparently had no qualms about the religious beliefs of the other co-host, Oprah Winfrey.
