French Magazine Charlie Hebdo compared Putin to Mohammed VI, loved Pussy Riot. Rough translation
Pussy Riot will win
"Mary, Mother of God, Putin hunting ..." For having sung this prayer last February 21 (fifteen days before the re-election of Putin) in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, three girls who belong to the feminist punk group Pussy Riot been in prison for five months. Five months is nothing. They are likely to stay there seven years.
...
Recall that the Russian church and state are supposed to be separated ... And it was precisely in protest against the official support by the Russian Orthodox of Patriarch Vladimir Putin that the punks decided to make an incident in the cathedral. In short, Putin in Russia is the commander of the faithful just like Mohammed VI is in his country (Morocco).
...
All religions do not honor God in the same way. What they really have in common is this panic at humor. Not fear that laughter that will destroy them all (laughter has, alas, no such power), but fear of laughter, yes.
Fascist Catholics, fascist Muslims, fascist Jews, fascist Orthodox, fascist Protestant, fascist Buddhists, you condemn yourself. You drown in the grotesque as others suffocate in their vomit.
Of course, Charlie Hebdo supports the struggle of Pussy Riot, and is in solidarity with all struggles against all obscurantism.

Again, to make the point that the attack on the magazine,
the murder of these voices, is a loss for all progressive forces fighting for freedom.
