I mostly agree.
To me, this "Alternative Charlemagne Award" and the committee's name
have a satirical ring. It's the ring of the 60s when there was an
"Alternative Peace Prize" at the International Frankfurt Bookfair,
alternative to the official one awarded by the German Booksellers
Association. Nobody took that alternative freak prize seriously, except
the freaks.

In the case of the Charlemagne thing, the Scientologists seem to be the
freaks to take the award seriously.
So, when they take something seriously, they act seriously - and then
the reaction on them will be serious. They create their own deadly
reality. If this is the outcome of the alternative award - OK.
