This is the first time since Stalin’s regime that Russian officials have described holy Jewish scriptures as prohibited incitement, the daily reported quoting sources. Attorneys from the state prosecutor’s office questioned Rabbi Zinovy Kogan, chairman of the Congress of Jewish organisations, last Thursday to explain the contents of ‘shulhan arukh’, especially its treatment of non-Jews, the report said.
The prosecutor had earlier rejected requests of Jewish organisations to open an investigation into those who were behind the letter asking for outlawing the religion and its organisations.
What madness is this??

Not many people can see history unfolding before their eyes. This is freaky. This stuff is rampant in our country too though. Many in America say that Christianity incites hatred and violence against homosexuals as well as others.
Howard Dean asked and evangelical how she could vote for him since he was sure, since she was an evangelical Christian, she wouldn't agree with his stance on civil rights for all Americans and the right of a woman to choose the health care she desired.

So are you going to play the "Putin, Christian Defender of Civilization" card on this one, or the "See, Iran isn't so bad, they even allow Jews more freedom than Russia" card?

If this has legs and Russia starts cracking down on Judaism and other non-Orthodox faiths, then Russia has lost my support. Official Russia, that is, not the people.

Wow, George Soros has some powerful mojo. Russian law has an automatic investigation of complaints - file a complaint it has to be investigated - Canada has such a law too. This fringe party has found a way to use the legal mechanisim to gain some publicity which fuels the Soros financed/influenced disinfo news beast.
I posted a story about a month ago about Russian prosecutor investigating a book of stories and poems by Pushkin because they were erotic - some one or some group saw this book for sale at a book store and filed a complaint. The prosecutor has no flexibility in the matter - his office has to investigate.
I am against all censorship - but this is a tale taken by the western press to illustrate that Putin is turning Russia into a police state. Just like in the USA when the FCC gets a complaint - the Russian authorities probably got a complaint and thus have to open an investigation.
Our own FCC for example had to investigate NBC's opening ceremonies of the Athens Olympics because some yahoos were offended by reproductions of naked Greek statues and writhing Greek dancers.
Someone probably purchased the book and read the following and called the authorities.
There is a disinfo campaign out there to turn people against Russia be bringing up old Cold War imagry like Pushkin is being banned or something.

I have a difficult time taking this report too seriously.
I personally know a number of religious Jews in Russia right now. Judaism has expanded greatly under the Putin government. As a matter of fact, Putin himself has participated in the dedication of a large synagogue in Moscow. It is on film.
There has always been a certain amount of Jew hatred in Russia. Matter of fact, this same sort of trial is documented against religious Jews of over 150 years ago and is documented.

This story is at least six months old. Putin has long since shut down this 'inquiry'.
