Koreans and the Virgin Mary for the Island

I often encounter Koreans and Indians in the church areas and they seemed to be engaged in the gang stalking. They might have a different agenda against Japanese, so I guess I should be careful with them. I found a following article about the island which is Japan's property but Korea is claiming as theirs. They build a statue of the Virgin Mary for the protection of the island in Korean name. It's rather political. I have seen the gang stalkers like using the Virgin Mary for their own harassment through their gang stalking activities. Like the group of young boys and few junior high age boys in a group and jumping in front of where I stayed for reading a book in the oceanside and causing my beach towel to get wet from the splash in Split. The boys were shouting like "Our Lady of Mexicana" and jumping into the water. Well, it sounds pretty much like what Koreans do, isn't it? I don't know them but they start the harassment like that.

Not all Catholics have intentions to be no harm on strangers. So, I guess it is good to warn others what sound more of political and potentially controversial. I stay away from Korean Catholics as they might have some wrong view of the Virgin Mary. If they target "Soka Gakkai" Japanese, then I don't mind about them. But targeting another Catholic with their own view, I don't really know if that is fine.
