There is some speculation that Aum Shinrikyo isn't quite extinguished yet, as a truck attack was possibly carried out as revenge for the cult leaders' execution.

Revenge nothing. This is terrorism, plain and simple.

After Shoko Asahara's arrest and trial, Aum Shinrikyo split into several subsequent groups. All of them publicly denounced Asahara's actions in regards to the Sarin gas attacks, but yet they all retained his basic teachings and in private many of the offshoot cults still revere him. And has the New Years terror attack showed, Asahara still has some influence over the world even after his death.

No sympathies. If people would rather choose to resign themselves to teachings from eccentric "prophets" and hope it would change their lives in the face of reality without acknowledging the consequences that could very well hurt others that try to live good, meaningful lives, then these people have only themselves to blame.
