Russia Declares Publishing Mohammed Cartoons Illegal…

getting punched because you called someone mom a bitch is understandable getting killed because you drew a cartoon is not.

For a Muslim drawing a cartoon of Mohamed is as insulting as name-calling a mom. Both may actually lead to something known in the judicial terms as murder in the state of affect.

Religiousness aside, what Roskomnadzor did was to prevent alienating one part of the population of RF from the other, to keep peace within the country.
