Scientology is a controversial religion founded in 1954 by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.
Some of the eight floors will be open to the public with conference rooms and a chapel.

Farrakhan also spoke out about men’s treatment of women and pointed to the confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who is accused of sexually assaulting Christine Blasey Ford when she was in high school.
“No man should take from a woman what the woman does not want to give,” Farrakhan said.
He added, “ Women are sacred. If you don’t see that, Satan has robbed you of the knowledge of who you are.”
