Insulting Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is not an expression of freedom, rather it is the violation of the sacred feelings of Muslims, says Russian President Vladimir Putin.
These remarks were made by the President of Russia while he was addressing his annual press conference on Thursday. About 500 journalists were invited including domestic and international journalists to attend the conference.
He said that these expressions cannot be justified as it hurts the feelings of those who practice Islam. He added that “future without freedom is sad, but this freedom contradicts our future goals when it tampers with the feelings of someone else.”
He also said that these expressions are not an act of creativity or artistic freedom, rather it is a violation of religious freedom.
