Tully, I really don't understand your position here. Are you saying that other churches have committed misdeeds in the past, so it's normal and/or acceptable for the Church of Scientology to do the same? Or are you saying that they all ought to be outlawed? I don't understand what your point is.
Within the context of the original discussion, if the Catholic Church were trying to edit out any mention of the crusades I'd expect similar action to be taken. Wikipedia strives for neutrality, which means that no entity should be able to get away with the kind of biased edits the Church of Scientology was trying to manage. They misbehaved, and now they get supervised. It seems like a fair restriction.
