Religious groups want Russian cartoon channel shut down.

quote:
CBC: For a second time in two weeks, religious groups have called for the closure of Russia's cartoon channel 2X2.

Christian and Muslim groups are demanding that 2X2 be shut down because it airs cartoons, such as South Park, which they deem to be anti-religious, violent as well as promoting homosexuality.


The reply is interesting ...

quote:
Yekaterina Doglosheveva, head of corporate affairs for Prof-Media — the company that owns 2X2:

"We live in a fully secular, not puritan state," Doglosheveva told the Russian news agency Interfax.

"The atheists could have just as well written a letter to demand that all religious channels and programs be closed. We work respecting the constitution, we do not violate the law."
