As much as I loathe religion, I totally feel it's wrong for a government to single out one faith and ban their holy book. What's going to happen to Russian Muslims now? Many will feel they have to leave behind their homes and friends and move to another country. Islamaphobes will get a nice boost of confidence that their government supports their hate campaign and could become more actively hateful towards the Muslims who choose to stay.
As much as I'd love to see religion banned in general; shit like this won't help and will just harm people in the end. There are ways of doing these things without making a minority group feel even less comfortable in their own homes.
I can empathize, Russia, singling out, one religion doesn't seem to be saying much other than their policy makers are a bunch of brain-dead
automatons. I believe, Russia, not to long ago in a grotesque demonstration of the their Christian/Catholic values, imprisoned three girls for freedom of speech. Then, the moratorium on homosexuality...Jesus is clearly culpable if he comes back let's kill him again.
On a serious note what would you or anyone suggest as an alternative measure that has the same end result - no religion?
