Russia..considered banning the Kiztur Shulchan Oruch

Dateline Alabama reports that authorities were considering banning the russian translations of the kitzur shulchan aruch. The accusations came from two nationalist activists including a prominent far-right ideologue complained the text is aimed at "insulting human dignity based on national and religious affiliation," according to an earlier prosecutors' statement posted on the Web site of an anti-xenophobia group, Sova. The text was also accused of labeling Christians "worshippers of idols" in a reference to Christians' main religious symbol, the cross. These accusations of course had no basis.
