"The Christian roots of European civilization".........what an extraordinary thought! How novel and imaginative! < /s>

Unfortunately, the media still thinks that they were right about the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt too, so they’ll never learn.
Most of the English translations circulating the net have “mistakes” that led people to assume otherwise.
There have been many more “sensible” protests on this matter but their state media sensors all of it.
This act was so provocative and the punishment so harsh that the world can no longer ignore the corruption taking place there.
Its tough for a cold war kid to make the change, but I find myself agreeing with the Russians more & more these days.
These are not your father’s Russians.
They should, they have personal experience in how the Bolsheviks take and consolidate power by destroying a culture's moral and ethical foundation on God's law.
Pussy Riot's agitation has nothing to do with free speech, it is intended to destroy the moral and ethical good of traditional Russian culture.

Define the “Hooliganism” conviction as something other than opposition to the Dictator Putin, and then I’ll listen.
Until then, you have a totalitarian Russia that should be opposed by Freedom Lovers.
