Radical Christians Against Madonna Concert in Moscow
Created: 05.09.2006 14:45 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 14:50 MSK

Some 200 people of Orthodox Christian and nationalist forces have gathered
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.
