DUSHANBE (Reuters) - A young man dressed as "Father Frost" - the Russian equivalent of Father Christmas - was stabbed to death in Tajikistan on Monday in an attack police believe was motivated by religious hatred, two police sources said.
A crowd attacked 24-year-old Parviz Davlatbekov and stabbed him with a knife as he visited relatives in the early hours of Monday dressed as Father Frost, who by tradition brings Russian children presents at New Year. Russian cultural influence remains strong in Tajikistan, a former Soviet republic.
"We have witness statements that say the crowd beat Parviz and stabbed him with a knife, shouting: 'You infidel!'," one of the sources told Reuters.
The second source said religious hatred was being investigated as the motive for the crime, which occurred in the capital Dushanbe.

Well at least the government of Tajikistan is trying to stop Islamic radicalism in the country.

They should be getting a 9 mil instead of the coal. A 9 mil rubbed in pig fat.

religious hatred?—oh that doesn’t count.

And in the US Santa Claus shoots his whole family to death.
But in either case its muzzies doing the killing. Funny how that works.
