Femen activist Oleksandra Shevchenko described the reaction of Russian President Vladimir Putin (left) as "idiotic astonishment mixed with a smile and a stupid expression on his face." On her back is written "F*** you, Putin."

An activist of FEMEN women's movement staged a protest action during a Christmas mass in the main cathedral of Cologne, Kolner Dom. The topless girl climbed onto the altar of the cathedral in protest against the Vatican propaganda of criminalization of abortions.
The woman displayed a slogan "I am God" written on her body.
"FEMEN demands Vatican elders and their fanatical followers should stop producing medieval chimera and bring religious dogma in line with the modern world and human rights," a press release from the movement said.
As the church Lady said,>”Well, isn’t that SPECIAL?”
No, honey, but thanks for playing.
She’s a drama queen attention whore.
come to think of it now....I don’t remember that ever happening ina Mosque?hmmmmm?
and,where’s the gay Lobby on the Muslim issue?
Real courage would be pulling that stunt in a Saudi mosque protesting the way women are treated in Muslim countries. Maybe she should book a tour of Iran and Saudi Arabia with Pussy Riot providing the music.
Won’t be easy to do in a mosque, though.
Two things: first of all, this was noted in Pravda. Putin has been successful in leading Russia back to the ideas of religion and morality; and examples of anti-religion and immorality are grand justifications to his efforts.
That being said, fruitcakes like this can only get away with stunts like this in the big cities, in blue states, or at least in blue big cities in red states.
If they try it on in a red city, in a red state, they are likely going to get thumped on. First by the parishioners, and then by the police. And then they will get substantial time in jail by unsympathetic judges.
It makes it easy to understand the recent crackdowns by Putin on this kind of left wing psycho behavior in Russia.
I am not sure most of our judges would be at all “unsympathetic” to behavior like this.
The FEMEN have been turning out some pretty cute chicks for these nekkid demonstrations. PeTA has also learned to up their game a little.
The Femen have protested mosques. But never in a Muslim country.
they like big wordy phrases.
Might be interesting if someone threw some holy water on her as she stood up there. The true nature of her problem might become clear.
Another crackpot liberal “prog”. When they are not playing the race card, they’re running around naked. Very childish. I don’t think that her parents changed her diaper enough while she was growing up.
I’m sorry, lady, but no matter how desperate you are, we’re not praying at that altar. (Why couldn’t she have painted herself gold, would have worked out SOOO much better?)

From 2008:
LANSING, Michigan (Catholic Online) - Dr. Dave Williams is the Pastor of a large evangelical Protestant Church in Lansing, Michigan called the Mount Hope Church. The Church web site informs the visitor of Pastor Williams that “He has served for 25 years, leading the church in Lansing from 226 to over 4000 today.” The Pastor is respected in the broader Christian, religious and civic community and the Church has extensive outreaches.
This past Sunday, during a Worship Service at the Church, a group of loud and intentionally disruptive homosexual activists stood outside of the sanctuary of Mount Hope dressed in strange pink attire. Using megaphones for amplification, they shouted epithets at those entering the service such as “Jesus is a homo”.They also mockingly carried an upside down pink cross.
Reports filed with the Eaton County Sheriff’s office indicate that other demonstrators had staged a further action intended to disrupt the Sunday Worship at Mount Hope. Dressed in clothing which would not have indicated their intention, they entered into the sanctuary and were seated with the community. Then, in an orchestrated manner, they left their seats, pulled fire alarms, distributed anti-Christian literature and stormed the Pastor’s pulpit waving a rainbow colored flag and shouting “It’s Okay To Be Gay! Bash Back”.

The flyer goes on to outline what exactly they mean by the each of the three dimensions.
Disclose(t): “Some of us have been secretly conducting same-gender unions and weddings. These actions will continue, but our silence is over. We will no longer self-censor.”
Divest: “We will divest our prayer, presence, gifts, service and witness from all structures within the church that support the status quo. We will widely publicize our actions and rationale.”
Disrupt: “The time for polite persuasion has passed. To ensure discrimination no longer flows uninterrupted, we will protest and disrupt local, nation, and global events… If it is clear that the United Methodist Church is going to continue enshrining discrimination in the Book of Discipline, we will disrupt the 2016 General Conference in Portland, OR.”
Despite the radicalism of the ‘manifesto,’ it is perfectly in line with previous, equally radical LGBT activism within the UMC. The “Disclose(t)” call to perform same-sex marriages seems perfectly in line with the “biblical [dis]obedience” movement within the denomination led in part by retired bishop Melvin Talbert. Perhaps the only remarkable part is that the activists openly admit that they never bothered obeying the Book of Discipline to begin with.
Meanwhile, the “Disrupt” portion is exactly what Amy DeLong did during the 2012 General Conference. At Tampa, DeLong illegally took to the floor of the General Conference, shutting down all debate unless representatives of the Council of Bishops gave into her demands. Later, she threatened to shut down the floor again if it even considered a petition that was backed by pro-life Methodists. DeLong’s actions at the time represented the height of hypocrisy; only she deserved to be heard and speak as long as she wanted, not those she disagreed with. As this latest manifesto makes clear, she and her supporters have no interest in “polite persuasion” or dialogue with the vast majority of Christians – only coercive, threat-backed demands for others to surrender and submit to her apparent infallibility. But despite DeLong’s questionable actions and obvious radicalism, liberal United Methodist organizations such as Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) and the Methodist Federation for Social Action (MFSA) have held her up as a shining example of the kind of excellent pastors the UMC is losing with its ban on partnered LGBT ministers.

Might I suggest pepper spray, instead?
