Police probe "Orthodoxy or death!" t-shirts While anti-religious artists are being persecuted, police are investigating Christian t-shirts depicting a skull captioned "Orthodoxy or death!" on suspicions of hate crime, Kommersant reports.
Prosecutors are demanding to ban the t-shirts on grounds that they incite religious hatred. But the Union of Orthodox Icon-bearers, which has rallied against gay parades and publicly burned Harry Potter books, says they never meant to incite hatred.
A spokesperson for the Moscow Patriarchate doesn't see anything offensive in the t-shirts, telling Kommersant that they reflect the wearer's "personal position."
