I think the word has less extreme connotations this side of the pond. It is a spectrum.

Is Russia "right" about presecuting Jehovah's Witnesses?
by iliketreasure injehovah's witnesses are presecuted in russia.
on par with the is and other terroristic groups.
it happened when the anti-extremism laws were extended to non-violent groups.. i don't believe that russia actually cares for the well-being of their citizens with this move and probably merely a law to stop other political forces (and the jws are one in a way, since their gather authority over large groups of people and also have their own political and judicial institutiona), but are they right about it anyway?.

The new, surviving Russia is very, very wise - Old Navy
Either you are an apologist for an authoritarian regime that has stolen countless billions of dollars from the Russian people and who routinely imprisons and murders critics, journalists and political opponents. A regime who is a friend and supporter of the worst tyrants on earth. A regime that has bombed its own citizens in a black-flag operation to trigger a war in Chechnya. A regime that shows no regard for international law...
or
You are profoundly ignorant of Putin's Russia.
I could suggest a reading list if you wish but in the meantime stop embarrassing yourself.

Nobody can do a single thing to change the course of Russian nationalism.
But the question in the OP was whether Russia are right in banning religious freedom for the Watchtower. My point is that anybody who agrees with Putin's actions is putting themself on the side of an enemy of liberal democracy.

Old Navy - The topic is not the international policies of the USA it is the disregard for personal freedoms in Russia.

Russia is very wise. - Old Navy
Russia is an enemy of freedom and a danger to every one of us in the west. Stand for a principle regardless of how much we despise the Watchtower.

Legal concerns about: "picnics"
by Darth FayDehr in"congregation picnic"2.
"congregation gathering"3.
"spontaneous gathering of jws”.

Sounds like it is simply a concern about legal liability for anything that goes wrong. I don't think they are saying don't have picnics just don't advertise them as congregation events. They don't want to be sued if everybody goes down with salmonella.
