Pussy Riot action would be definitely regarded as a crime in any Western country – Italian sociologist

Moscow, August 10, Interfax – Massimo Introvigne, an internationally well-known sociologist of religions, believes Pussy Riot action in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is a crime and manifestation of xenophobia. “Freedom of expression does not include the right to enter a cathedral and shout insults at religion, just as it does not include the right to enter a synagogue and insulting Judaism, or a mosque and insulting Islam – or even a restaurant, uttering profanities at the owner and the clients,” Dr. Introvigne said in his interview with Interfax-Religion
