    An anti-Scientology group named Anonymous plans to picket Oct. 16 at the opening night of Broadway’s “All My Sons,” which stars church member Katie Holmes, a rep for the organization said. Holmes, 29, and hubby Tom Cruise, 46, are (in)famous for their involvement in the the Church of Scientology.

    Anonymous said it has “uncovered or brought into the public eye hundreds of illegal actions, fraudulent activites and human rights violations perpetrated by the Church of Scientology.”

    Church spokesman Tommy Davis responded by saying a protest from Anonymous is a “very real and credible threat,” and that Anonymous has sent envelopes with powder resembling anthrax and death and bomb threats to churches in the past.

    “These people are basically terrorists,” Davis said. “Let’s say Ms. Holmes was Jewish. These people would be the equipvalent of neo-Nazis protesting the fact that she’s Jewish.”
