Edit request from   January      Helo I would like to request a correction in the page Under the Scientology cross it is written ReligiousCommercial The reference is a simple opinion from somebody very seriously antiScientologist who is presenting straight lies about the status of the Church for example in Germany I do not know about France but in Germany the church has always been registered as a nonprofit organization The German courts have recognized Scientologys religious bona fides original true religion status in over  cases  On  December  the Administrative Court of Appeal of BadenWrtenberg determined that the Church of Scientology Stuttgart is a religious organization protected under the German Constitution   In June  the Hamburg State Administrative Court of Appeal determined that actions taken by the Hamburg government to discriminate against Scientologists interfered with their right to religious freedom protected by Article  of the German Constitution   The European Court of Human Rights issued an unanimous landmark decision on  April  in favour of the Secientology religion upholding the religious freedom of Scientologists and their religious associations throughout the  nations that have signed and ratified the European Convention for the Protection of Human rights and Fundamental Freedoms ECHR adopted by the council of Europe in    In  the American Government ruled that  Scientology is a bonafide original true religion  The Churches of Scientology and their related charitable and educational institutions are operated exclusively for recognized religious purposes  The Churches of Scientology and their related charitable and educational institutions operate for the benefit of the public interest rather than the interest of private individuals So anyone calling Scientology a cult or sect is in the best case not well informed and is getting information from the wrong source that is one of the most basic mistakes a Journalist can do In fact Scientology is officially recognized as a true religion already in Australia Croatia Albania Slovenia Hungary Portugal Indonesia Kyrgyzstan South Africa Sweden Taiwan USA Venezuela Brazil New Zealand Nepal Tanzania Kenya Zimbabwe Kazakhstan Ecuador Costa Rica India Philippines Sri Lanka  furthermore it is recognized by administrative and judicial decisions in Italy Denmark Austria united Kingdom Norway and in Germany  So what is written under the cross that Scientology is commercial should be really removed It is really not fail not clever not OK and it is just pure defamation and antiScientology propaganda carefully invented by illintentioned people   And I really  really do not understand why is it that any antiScientologist can edit the Scientology web site because it is full of antiScientology hate propaganda and Scinetologists can not respond to it It is like only Musims could edit the pages on Israel and only people from Tel Aviv could edit the Muslim pages Makes sense Of course not  What is going on between Wikipedia and Scinetology I am shocked on this  Anyeay this commercial stuff is really not OK Then I did not even read the article further because as a Scientologist I think it is just open provocation and I do not agree to get provocation against my own will I have the right to my own peace of mind  But if any editors who have questions about my religion can write to me Istvanvolunteerministerseu  Ps Could you please also include a link to my new web site httpwwwvolunteerministerseu   Best Regards Rev Istvn Szaniszl Church of Scientology Europe
