Sun Myung Moon,founder of Moonies dies

He married thousands of people in mass weddings, made millions from his church's business interests and was accused of brainwashing his members and breaking up families.
But the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification Church – whose followers became known as "Moonies" – managed to shed the mantle of suspicion and ridicule to become a friend of political and religious leaders before his death in South Korea on Sunday, aged 92.
Moon saw himself as a messiah and created a church that became a worldwide movement and claims to have around 3 million members, including 100,000 in the United States.
