You say that “the differences between Lent and Ramadan could make such a comparison instructive, in the right context,” and go on to list a “lecture series” or “Bible study groups.”  I agree; in a forum where there is guaranteed to be actual discussion about the differences and similarities between Lent and Ramadan, such as you suggest, we do not run many of the risks I listed in my last post.  Unfortunately this does not seem to be what’s happening here – there is no lecture series, Bible study, or anything similar I can see.  All that was mentioned in the article was a “rebranding.”  It really does seem to be “just stopping there,” and thus I stand by my prior statements.
