Hopefully a successful trial will encourage France to ban that other fake cult, Islam, as well, which we all know is a political movement no different than Nazism and with the same two goals: world domination under one Fuhrer Caliph and the utter and complete destruction of the Jews.

Wikipedia has already banned the Church of Scientology from editing any of its pages (2).

In Scientology doctrine, Xenu is a galactic ruler who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of people to Earth, stacked them around volcanoes and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Their souls then clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living, and continue to cause people problems today. These events are known to Scientologists as "Incident II", and the traumatic memories associated with them as The Wall of Fire or the R6 implant. The story of Xenu is part of a much wider range of Scientology beliefs in extraterrestrial civilizations and alien interventions in Earthly events, collectively described as space opera by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology.

In Germany, Scientology is not a religion: After having reviewed several Scientology books, the judges concluded that Scientology is not a religion, but a commercial enterprise.

Canada, Germany, Greece, Belgium and the UK all refuse to grant Scientology religious recognition [Public Radio.org].

Some readers may protest that because I am an atheist I am opposed to all cults or religions. Not so, in my article If only Muslims were Raelians, I suggested that the 1.5 billion Muslims in the world convert to another cult, such as the Raelian Religion.

The only reason the civilized world has not banned Islam is because they are afraid to. One day that fear will be replaced with necessity.

Time Magazine, Scientology Trial in France: Can a Religion Be Banned?

As a fiercely secular nation, France has always had an awkward relationship with religious groups. Officials often find themselves struggling to strike the delicate balance between maintaining church-state separation and honoring the right of citizens to express their faith. But in the current case against the U.S.-based Church of Scientology, authorities have abandoned their usual attempts at fine-tuning religion's standing in French society — instead, they want to ban Scientology from France altogether.

...

If found guilty, the defendants would face fines and possible prison time. But a conviction would also allow French authorities to designate Scientology as a criminal organization conceived to fleece its followers, which would lead to the banning of the religion in France. That exceptional measure would force Scientology out of the country — or underground, along with outlawed practices like Satanism. Given that Scientology has 8 million members worldwide, that strikes some observers are [sic] extreme.

OSNews, Scientology Banned from Wikipedia

Even though we make fun of Wikipedia, and even though any serious scientific piece shouldn't cite Wikipedia, fact remains that the community-created and maintained encyclopaedia has turned into an impressive database of knowledge. Even though I don't think you should trust it blindly, it's usually an excellent starting point for information, especially when used in a casual setting. Still, its open nature is also a threat to Wikipedia, this week exemplified by the Wikipedia Arbitration Committee banning Scientology from editing Wikipedia pages.

This is a monumental decision by the Arbitration Committee. Individual people have been banned before from editing on Wikipedia pages, but never before has such a large organization been banned completely from editing Wikipedia pages. The case has been running for a while now, but the evidence presented was convincing enough: members of the organization that calls itself a church, but many consider to be a dangerous cult, have systematically edited relevant pages on Wikipedia in an organized fashion. The banning is achieved by blacklisting all IP addresses owned by the Church of Scientology. The ban covers all of Wikipedia (not just Scientology-related articles), and is effective immediately.

A former member, Tory Christman, has detailed to El Reg that the organization has a sort of PR division which actively looks for criticism on the web, with the goal to remove it. Wikipedia is of course a sitting duck in this regard, as anyone can edit whatever they want. "The guys I worked with posted every day all day," Christman tells El Reg, "It was like a machine. I worked with someone who used five separate computers, five separate anonymous identities [...] to refute any facts from the internet about the Church of Scientology." Christman left in 2000, before Wikipedia came to life.
