It is relevant to the list because it is an analogy offered by Lars as

Christianity and its related sects.
I think I don't need to be informed that from you Westerner.
Oh really? Because Westerners don't have any idea of what the cold war
is like? Because my family is not from the former Soviet Union? Do you
have some special privilege or immunity that exempts you from being
informed of things you apparently don't know about by Westerners? Or
is it that all Westerners are dumb, and you know everything there is
to know about the Cold War era Soviet Union, and you can never learn a
thing from a Westerner about it?
Your offense is misplaced.
Disagreed. You talk something never happened and unnecessarily mock
religious situation. I don't feel insulted even if you don't remember
me or His Grace Daniel but your joke is simply pointless and not
funny.
What joke? What do you keep insisting on a joke or mocking? I think
you have the wrong impression that is going on here, and yes, that is
why I think your offense is misplaced. Nobody is joking about
anything. We're debating reasons why the Foundation should or should
not be supporting Wikimania in a country that is hostile to free
expression. I fail to see where the joke and mockery is there, but
feel free to let me know when you find it.

Guys
Your jokes sounds very offending. Such thing has never happened for
your information. I say it as an personally offended person and a
catecumenata (sorry I don't know how you call it in English) at the
Orthodox Church of Japan, an autonomous and canonical Orthodox
church,
whose primate is confirmed by the Orthodox Church of Russia.

smuggling Bibles is illegal by fiat of an intolerant government,

people who do it run the risk of being beaten or worse.
Fail analogy is full of fail.
