As many countries face public unrest over alleged insults to religious sentiments by the authors of the controversial video ‘Innocence of Muslims,” the Russian Lower House took the first move to outlaw insults to religions.
The State Duma approved a special address ‘On protection of the religious feelings of the citizens of Russia,’ which was submitted jointly by all four parliamentary parties.
