Recently the mass struggle against the U.S. THAAD deployment in south Korea has been joined by high-spirited religionists, the statement said, and went on:

The on-going struggle against THAAD is a just and righteous action to check the U.S. aggression moves aimed to turn south Korea into a nuclear war theatre by reducing it into the advance base and a military base for realizing the strategy for world domination, and thus defend the holy land of Won Buddhism, the nation's religion.

The Council vehemently denounces the south Korean authorities' sycophantic treachery and extends full support and encouragement to the struggle waged by the religionists and other south Koreans to defend the holy land against THAAD deployment.

Not content with tolerating the THAAD deployment which was pushed forward by the Park Geun Hye group of traitors, the south Korean authorities have gone busy for its additional deployment, pursuant to the U.S. policy while citing the DPRK's legitimate measure for self-defence as pretext. This is a mockery of the candlelight demonstrators, perfidy to them and an intolerable act against the nation and reunification.

All the religionists in the north and the south and abroad, irrespective of difference in belief, should courageously turn out in the sacred war of justice to get THAAD, root cause of war, out of this land.
