I wouldn't call him imperialist either. I think he was a pretty decent leader for Japan. He wasn't murdered for his politics, but because of his religious affiliation.
It wasn't just religious affiliation. He, and others in the LDP, protected the Moonies in return for their political support. It was very much a political issue (separation of church and state).
Ah, so he protected them from being prosecuted or something?
My understanding is the murder's family was ruined by donating to the church. The murderer wrote.that.he planned to kill the church leader,.but changed.his mine cause Abe was more famous and would get more attention. I don't think there is evidence that the murderers motivations were political, but I could be wrong. Happen to have a source?
More or less. Not he alone, but many senior LDP leaders with him at the helm.
Correct.
As I understand, he wanted to draw attention to the Moonies while 'punishing' someone he held responsible for his family's condition.
