Moscow | Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that insulting the Prophet Muhammad is not an expression of freedom of expression. Putin said that insulting the Prophet was a violation of religious freedom and hurt the feelings of Muslims. He made the remarks at a news conference yesterday, according to the Russian news agency Tass. Putin said the attack on the office of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris, which published a cartoon insulting the Prophet, was a retaliatory measure.
Praising artistic freedom, Putin said that such freedom was limited and should not violate other freedoms. Russia has become a pluralistic, pluralistic nation. So Russians respect each other’s traditions. We must stop spreading images of Nazis through websites. Putin said the United States needs reassurance on the Ukraine issue and that Russia did not launch the attack.
