It's a well known and well studied phenomena which is a form of "groupthink", look it up. You'll find that kind of thing manifesting in different forms in many places and many periods of history. The only thing that makes it very odd is that TM is supposed to counteract all the nastiness which goes along with that mode of thinking. Well it does to some extent, but not enough to make the TMO palatable. The kind of belief system that tells people that "unbelievers must be dealt with directly" (see other posts on this forum) has always been the source of misery.
If people feel like that then I recommend watching "Life of Brian" as an antidote.
