Right now there are hundreds of Russians in prison for various offenses that would not be considered crimes anywhere in the West - mostly for attending peaceful open-air protests in public thoroughfares.

But the Western media and Western activists ignore them and instead publicize and advocate on behalf of these women, who desecrated a church.

Most Americans do not realize that the altar of an Orthodox church is an extremely sacred space. It is protected by an iconostasis, it is used solely for the Divine Liturgy and only ordained clergy are permitted to approach it, which they rarely do more than once each Sunday.

These nonordained women broke through the iconostasis, commandeered the altar and used it for a vulgar parody of the Divine Liturgy.

They deserve to do time for trespassing, for disturbing the peace and for violating other citizens' freedom of religion.

Precisely. The press here would not be so enamored of them if they had conducted their protest in a space sacred to leftists, like an abortion mill.

Russia has a long history of leftist mass murder and oppression of Christians and the destruction of churches.

When leftists start storming the churches and naming Christians their political enemies, it’s a big deal. They are hatefilled, blood thirsty, evil turds.

If Christians fail to get organized legally and politically to stop them from attacking Christians and our rights here, we will get to live Russia’s bloody history. Leftist hatred of Jesus is not a passing political mood or game.
