From Osho’s Wikipedia article:
Osho spoke in favour of euthanasia of children with a broad variety of birth defects such as blindness, deafness, and dumbness. He suggested that “if a child is born deaf, dumb, and we cannot do anything, and the parents are willing, the child should be put to eternal sleep.” Furthermore, he claimed that people who may be at risk of conceiving children with birth defects “don’t have that permission from existence” to “take the risk of burdening the earth with a crippled, blind child”.
Osho said that Jews “are guilty people, and their guilt is very great” because they crucified Jesus, and out of their guilt, are “always in search of their Adolf Hitlers, someone who can kill them.” He further claimed that only when Jews “reclaim Jesus,” “they will be healthy and whole, and then there will be no need for Adolf Hitlers.”
Osho also claimed that “Hitler’s violence was far more peaceful” than, for example, the violence that erupted in India after Independence from the British Crown, because Hitler “killed people in the most up-to-date gas chambers, where you don’t take much time. Thousands of people can be put in a gas chamber, and just a switch is pressed. […] Within a second, you evaporate. The chimneys of the factory start taking you, the smoke – you can call it holy smoke – [laughter in the audience] and this seems to be a direct way towards God.”
Furthermore, Osho was of the opinion that “living in poverty is far more dangerous, far more suffering than dying in a beautifully, scientifically managed gas chamber in Germany.”
In the years before his move to the United States, Osho apparently supported and even encouraged homosexual sannyasins, stating, “No condemnation, no judgement, no evaluation. If you are a homosexual, so what?! Enjoy it! God has made you that way.”
However, in the early to mid-1980s, Osho came to a much more condemning and judgemental assessment of homosexuality. He stated, “homosexuals, because they were perverted, created the disease AIDS”. It was never clear what he believed about any biological mechanism by which a sexual orientation might create an infective virus. He suggested that homosexuals should be given different localities: “They can live in their own world, in their own way, and be happy, but they should not be allowed to move in the wider society, spreading all kinds of dangerous viruses.” When asked by gay sannyasins to explain his new view of homosexuality, Osho followed with, “As a homosexual, you are not even a human being […]. You have fallen from dignity.”He never changed or retracted these public announcements.
He was also connected to the first bioterror attack in the United States. In other words, Osho was an asshole, and the world would be a better if people stopped masturbating to his quotes.
