Riot of Muslims and innocence of Pussy Riot

19.09.2012

"Russia's Office of the Prosecutor General intends to ban the film "Innocence of Muslims" on the territory of the country. It is highly unlikely that someone in Russia would decide to show the movie on big screens. By and large, it goes about blocking video portals - YouTube in particular. The Russian authorities recommended Internet providers should limit access to the anti-Islamic flick that drives Muslim people mad.

But what about the "madness" of Orthodox believers, who, to put it mildly, were not thrilled about the "creative work" of Pussy Riot? Should the "punk-prayer" be left on video portals, or should it be banned?

.......................

For the time being, the U.S. has no legal claims against the "Innocence of Muslims" filmmakers. However, they have enough worries. The family of the "producer" has already left their home in California and went on the run. The "actors" were quick to say that they had been deceived, because they were originally offered to star in the historical drama "Warriors of the Desert."

Pastor Terry Jones, who became famous for burning the Koran, swaggers. He claimed that he was involved in "Innocence of Muslims." The pastor can say such things because he is certain that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects him.

The Amendment may protect the pastor, but it kills others. Judging by the way the Obama administration took the death of its ambassador to Libya (declaring war requires a much less important reason), the US does not mind the sacrifice - for the sake of abstract freedom and even at the expense of common sense. America was founded as a purely Christian civilization. When John Lennon dared to touch on this subject, he got what he deserved. Islam came to America much later, so the U.S. may not see the obvious.

Russia can not allow that. The state should stop any joke that affects interfaith relations, so that the "jokers" realize: there are absolute taboos in Russia. Don't **** where you eat.

The U.S. State Department referred to the Pussy Riot trial as a "politically motivated" case. It is true, but the politics here is all about self-preservation. There were many "kingdoms" in the history of mankind that declared themselves superpowers, but then disappeared without a trace."
