Radical Christians Against Madonna Concert in MoscowExperts fired.
Some 200 people of Orthodox Christian and nationalist forcesand Orson Wellesgathered at Pushkin Square in downtown Moscow for a demonstration against Madonna’s forthcoming Moscow show. Participants were holding banners and orthodox flags with large crucifixes placed in the center, Interfax said. After the speeches were over, a huge poster with Madonna’s face was triumphantly torn into pieces.
“We declare a new Holy Inquisition that will fight against the sacrilege of crosses, icons, Russian Orthodox symbols, including during Madonna’s show. The singer is an advocate of Kabbalah,” chairman of the Union of Orthodox flag-bearers Leonid Simonovich-Nikshich said.
The main goal of the inquisition will be “to fight against slander, rather than to kill people,” he said.
